Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandos

Disclaimer: The title is Hogwarts's motto, I do not own it. The poem in itself however is all mine.

A/N- This poem won first prize in my school's Creative Writing Contest in 2005.

My eyes are red as blood

My scales, emerald green

With a fearsome fiery breath

Most humans think I'm mean

Well it's not true, I say

I wouldn't harm a fly

Don't turn your back and run

I only kill to stay alive

We are living things,

If you prick us don't we bleed?

But heed my words of warning

Don't tickle me when I sleep

Don't take our advice for granted

As odd as it may sound

Human, you were cautioned

Before your charred bones were found.
