While perusing pictures at the Louvre
A dragon felt dismayed and moved
At how often they portrayed
When Saint George cruelly slayed.
If claws could clutch brushes they’d reprove.

There’s only one painting of Saint George slaying a dragon in the Louvre so sterner readers can ding this limerick on veracity. I tried to find out how many dragons tour the museum in a given year but unfortunately they’d don’t keep records of this.
