Rhyme of a Hydra

* *The Dragon steals the waters of life, The Dragon steals the waters of life,   The Dragon steals the waters of life,* * * a Hydra eats those who lie. * *This is the story of                           Darr-en Gunn, His life was a                              short-en-ed one. While hunting some snakes                                            having no lucky breaks. Found himself consumed by a                                                                   gi-ant one. Was warned of one snake,                                            the seven-headed Drake. Found himself consumed by a                                                                  gi-ant one. In Old Foggie swamps lies a place                                                                  he haunts. With a hunter digesting in a                                                                 Dra-gon! *The Dragon steals the waters of life, The Dragon steals the waters of life,  The Dragon steals the waters of life,* * * a Hydra eats those who lie. All children should learn                                                                                of a swamp that churns. In a place where they say                                                                  the wa-ter burns!

Notes

Hy-dra is originally Sy-dra. 'Sy' meaning 'thief' and 'Dra' meaning water so the Hydra is a water-thief. IE: it burns up the waters of life. 'Dragon' in Proto-Indo-European(the first language) was spelled 'Dher Ghen.' So "Darren," is Dher Ghen with the 'G' silent.
