Dragon in the basement
Sir there's a dragon in the basement,
Hiding under the floor,
It looks like it was devil sent,
It has an awful roar,
My dear child, Timmy,
What possessed you to go down there?
It was the boiler acting funny,
That gave you such a scare,
It's true sir I swear it,
I seed it with my friend,
Young Timmy it's "I saw it,"
Your grammar drives me round the bend!
Seed it, sawed it,
Doesn't really matter,
My friend went further and a fire lit,
He tripped and fell with a clatter,
Mr Gordon pulled Timmy aside,
He was beginning to spook the kids,
Timmy stop taking me for a ride,
I'm getting rather sick of this,
Come on then,
Follow me,
I'll show you the dragon's den,
Then you'll see,
Then you'll see,
There's no need for that repetition,
Didn't you learn anything at school?
Though you have a good imagination,
Do you take me for a fool?
Matt said the same thing,
He didn't believe me either,
Now he's down there waiting,
Matt and the dragon wait down there together,
You see when he fell, there was an awful roar,
He was paralysed with fear,
At first I thought it was a dinosaur,
I thought 'I have to get out of here'
Mr Gordon looked concerned,
He didn't believe the kid,
His friend fell and the boiler sounded,
Probably still scared in the dark and well hid,
Mr Gordon went to get a flashlight,
He told Timmy to go back and wait in class,
Timmy was happy that Mr Gordon intended to fight,
He would kick that monster's ass,
Gordon slowly descended the boiler room steps,
And entered the shadowy room,
The boiler uttered a few drawn out creaks,
And Gordon tripped over a broom,
Matthew are you in here?
He whispered as loud as he could,
He could sense something else in there,
The feeling wasn't good,
Matthew stop this right now,
This has gone beyond a joke,
He's hidden himself really well somehow,
If you come out I'll give you a Coke,
No reply came from that darkness so black,
The boiler came to life again,
Gordon jumped when the torch shone on eyes staring back,
In the distance he thought he heard a siren,
His head began to ache,
The room began to swirl,
His flesh began to bake,
His stomach wanted to hurl,
Suddenly it stopped if only for a moment,
Something large and powerful moved in the dark,
A large flame lit up revealing Matt's body impaled and burnt,
A large tongue lunged at Gordon finding its mark,
A few dreadful seconds passed by,
Before the creature lumbered out of the black,
Gordon and the dragon were now eye to eye,
He searched desperately for the courage he seemed to lack,
Gordon ran fearful for his life,
The torch battery ran out and Gordon flipped,
He never got to see his kid and wife,
He missed a step and tripped,
He pleaded for mercy but to no avail,
The creature opened its massive jaws to swallow him,
It twitched its large grey scaly tail,
Gordon's predicament seemed grim,
How could he possibly escape?
Could this be a nightmare?
Hot breath came from the dragon's jaws agape,
Gordon said his final prayer,
The end did not come swiftly,
As he was picked up, swallowed and eaten,
The moral of this tale I tell,
Is that the good guy's sometimes get beaten.
