Humor/Satire / Eduardo The Dragon ©

Eduardo the dragon lived outside the village nearby
Hoping to scare children, hoping to make them cry
Hiding and pouncing as the townsfolk went awry
But little did Eduardo know, one day would come a surprise

Eduardo lived in a cave with Mikey, Vino and Luisi
Three Gangsta hit-dragons, oh such terrible beasts
Growing up angry, Eduardo cared for people in the least
Always thinking of mischief while living with these three

But soon Eduardo wore out his welcome, his attitude got in the way
Always asking when and where the bosses would make him “made”
Scared for his life and wondering what he would do from this day
He set out on a mission to just harass children always

So one day outside the village Eduardo once again lay
Seeking to scare small children, a mother or even a maid
To hide and pounce upon anyone in his spontaneous raid
But little did he know, his surprise came this day

The children of the village knew of Eduardo’s old life
Living with the three terror beasts who gave Eduardo such strife
So they built three huge mobster costumes, these duds were so tight
And all climbed inside patiently waiting for this night

Eduardo rounded the corner by the school on this day
Hoping to see many children running, laughing and at play
Hoping to cause havoc, fear, panic and dismay
But to Eduardo’s surprise here these three huge hit-dragons now lay

Scared for his life, Eduardo headed for the hills
Not looking back, scared of being killed
As he reached the top of a mountain, terribly cold and very ill
He uttered to himself while he lay there on his back very still

Are they gonna put a cap in my ass? Bang! Bang! Bang!
The answer from the children—“oh hell yes…!”

Moral to the story: Don’t mess with kids in costumes this Halloween, they may be packing some heat. ;)
