MESSAGE FOR THE PRINCESS





The dragon is much to be feared.
He is most crude in his ways.
He will waste no time
in taking advantage
of your predicament.
As soon as he sniffs out
what a delicate creature you are
he will sidle up
to where you are sadly restrained
and breathing fire and brimstone
all over your beautiful body,
he will begin to gobble you up.

St George on the other hand
is most refined in his manner.
He will waste no time
in dispatching the dragon
and making you a free woman.
As soon as he realizes
what a delicate creature you are
he will rush to your side,
he will lift you up on the back
of his magnificent white stallion
and there, as he holds your beautiful body,
he will begin to gobble you up.
