It's painful to
imagine now
just what I'd like to be,
for I see clearly anyhow
the lock; it has no key.
No locksmith can unfasten it
with hammer, file or blade.
The tool required for the job,
I fear will ne'er be made
Some people with a wond'rous gift
can show me yonder side,
but sadly I shall never be
a Dragon, bona fide
So if you mighty beasts of lore
would like a human meal,
I offer up my humble self
to sate your hungry creel.
Perhaps this way a part of me
may have a voice to sing
its praises to you noble race,
aloft on Dragon wing...
