Listen up and listen well
For I have quite the tale to tell
Of how I bested a ferocious dragon
While half-asleep on the back of a wagon
Which travelling south near Aleroth
Nestled the hopes of a merchant in silk and cloth
And myself at ease upon that perch
Dozing fitfully despite all the bumps and lurch

From whence it came, for what and why
I do not know, my best guess the sky
But came it did come hurtling down
To block out the sun, causing me to frown
And wake to raise a quizzical eye
And hear the merchant’s strangled cry
Just in time to greet a ravenous maw
Poised open to let forth a fiery roar

Now perhaps this wyrm had heard of my might
And so come seeking to test its mettle in a fight
In any event I thought it best not to be gentle
And immediately summoned an earth elemental
Within to plug the beast’s wide gaping jaws
Which caused an explosion deserving quite some applause
As bits of dragon came raining down
Like a bloody symphony to my renown

And so I lay back upon my silken nest
To once again enjoy my rest
And if you ever hear otherwise
Do not believe them, they are telling lies
It was certainly a dragon and not a cow
The correct response is not what? but wow!
And to marvel at the greatest mage by far
For ‘tis but one of the tales of Bellegar
