An Ode to Shendu
There once was a dragon named Shendu,
He was cunning and crafty, a big liar too.
His element was fire, he found burning things fun,
Causing fires everywhere, making mortals scream and run.
Though in the presence of humans he seemed to be strong,
If they saw him with his siblings they'd see that they were wrong.
For Shendu was a cowardly one you see,
When threatened by his siblings oh how he would plea.
They would beat him and bruise him until they would tire,
Then ask him to do whatever they desire.
You may call him a fool for doing exactly as they say,
But turn against them and you would not live to see another day.
They're a motley bunch, cruel and mean,
The strangest family I ever have seen.
Shendu went to possess Chan, do as he was told,
But accidentally it became Valmont he controlled.
Valmont was another Shendu disliked,
Both would continuously argue, yell and fight.
Unfortunately for Valmont, Shendu usually won them.
After all, Shendu was a demon.
Both were alike but neither would admit it,
Their long hours of quarrelling seized to quit.
Shendu was mad, he could not live his dream,
A world of destruction, how the pathetic mortals would scream!
Because Shendu just couldn't cope with sharing Valmont's flesh,
He was a lone wolf, doing things out of his own interest.
A hobby he had was collecting vast treasure.
He had a room full of it, his valuable pleasure.
For Shendu was a true dragon at heart,
Quick witted, hot headed, courageous and smart.
There are many things about Shendu we don't understand,
Past secrets swept away by the palm of a hand.
To truly know him, there is only one thing to do,
Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce to you
SHENDU!
The End, I do not own jca but Shendu belongs to me, he is my husband, oj
