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

Breathes fire whenever he speaks

Off to town, dear Darcy went

But woe is me, oh lament

Before a dragon penny was spent

He'd 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 toyshop did Darcy go

With thoughts of his forest friends

"I'll buy each a game", he said with a flame

And the second fire it was then

And 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 did hit

'Twas a mighty wind that blew

And Christmas snow did whirl and blow

And he wondered what to do

As Darcy let out with a dragon's 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! 'e un no more"

From shop to shop, 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
