Dragons
By McKenna Cronbaugh
They're mystical creatures that live in the sea, in mountains, in forests, and up in the trees
They live in caves, deep in the ground, don't risk looking for them, for they've never been found
They breathe fire that's deadly, and have claws that are sharp, you never really know if they’re coming for your heart
Some possess water, some possess fire, some possess a cruel and evil desire
They seek humans as prey, and other animals too, be careful and watch out they could be coming for you
Tho’ some can be nice, but most are very mean, these mythical creatures await unseen
These mystical creatures, don't make a sound, these everlasting dragons shall never be found
