In which the dragon saved the princess from the knight

Do you remember

when the dragon saved the princess

from that awful knight

because I can remember it clearer than most

 

the knight, a greedy *******

who's foul lips

wrapped around a glass bottle

who's foul lips

sought the bottle

and nothing more

 

and remember when he hit the princess that first time

remember when he grabbed her hair

remember when he shoved her down

put away the scars

the scratches

the bruises

treated it as

'oh, he's just showing his love'

 

and remember

remember that one night

when she finally called his bluff

she said 'no, you don't love me'

remember when he hit her with the bottle

the knight, what a **** bag

but after that,

came the dragon

with his tattoos and heavy beard

on his motorcycle

and beat the knight away

****** him to hell

or at least prison

and a lot of angry inmates

 

and the princess and the dragon

set away

to have a nice little life together

with the night safely locked and gone

in a far away tower.
