Darcy the Dragon

Christmas was coming

and Darcy the dragon

was thinking what he should do

Go through the forest and

into the village

to pick up a gift or two

For through the forest dear Darcy had friends

that he loved very much

he thought it'd be fine at Christmas time

to give each a present or such

But darcy'd forgotten the very thing

that makes a dragon unique

unlike a horse a dragon of course

breaths fire whenever he speaks

Off to town dear Darcy went

but woe is me, oh lament

Before a dragon penny was spent

he started a tiny fire

He said he was sorry, our Darcy did

He helped put the fire out

the folks forgave him for he'd been kind

and off he went looking about

Into the toy shoppe did Darcy go

with thoughts of his forest friends

I'll buy each a gift he said with a flame

and the second fire it was there

This time when the fire was out

the villagers charged along

pursuing darcy with angry shouts

be off, away, be gone

Poor darcy sparked, "no harm i meant"

but from the village he was sent

and woe is me and oh lament

no presents for his friends

Darcy was sad as he sat

at the edge of the forest by and by

no gifts would he have to offer his friends

A tear rolled from his eye

A storm did gather and soon defeat

was a mighty wind that blew

And Christmas snow did whirl and blow

And he wondered what to do

As darcy laid out with a dragons cry

he opened his mouth so wide

that the wind and snow

went right down his throat

and put out the fire inside

When darcy realized the fire was out

First a whisper, then a shout

And a laugh to know

that he could speak without

starting another fire

but now it was late on a Christmas Eve

He was up and off with a roar

He raced to the village and he cried out,

"My fire he am no more"

From shoppe to shoppe he then did go

In each he made his choice

darcy was treated so kindly now

no need to fear his voice

The villagers came to the edge of town

and darcy waved goodbye

"Come back again if ever you can"

they said and he said that he'd try

"Merry Christmas" all did say

as to the woods he made his way

tomorrow will be Christmas day

and a Merry Christmas to thee!
