The Dragon's Retort

Now, I am a dragon, please listen to me
For I’m misunderstood to a dreadful degree.
This ecology needs me and I know my place,
But I’m fighting extinction with all of my race.
Well, I came to this village to better my health
Which is shockingly poor, despite all my wealth.
But I get no assistance and no sympathy,
Just impertinent questioning shouted at me.
Yes, virgins taste better than those who are not.
But my favorite snack food with peril is fraught.
For my teeth will decay and my trim go to pot.
Yet virgins taste better than those who are not.
Well, I’m really quite good almost all through the year.
Vegetarian ways are now mine out of fear.
But a birthday needs sweets as I’m sure you’ll agree.
And barbecued wench tastes like candy to me!
As it happens our interests are almost the same.
For I’m really quite skillful at managing game.
If I ate just your men, would your excess decline?
Of course not, the rest would just make better time
Yes, virgins taste better than those who are not
But my favorite snack food with peril is fraught.
For my teeth will decay and my trim go to pot.
Yet virgins taste better than those who are not.
But the number of babies a woman can bear
Has a limit, and that’s why my pruning’s done there.
Yet an orphan’s a sad sight and so when I munch.
I’m careful to take only virgins for lunch.
