Dragon Slayers Poem by John Shea

Life was good and thoughts were better
Little Rascals and Captain Kangaroo were my heroes

Now I cough and strive to live again
The wild emotions of the past

My mate was a colorful toy
When I was young
Just another love song
To be sung

Love and life intervened with thought
Thought left me lonely and sad

Life made me question the ways
To live in your world
With my flag unfurled

Never forget the dreams of a vet
We live in your streets and never forget
We love you and protect you
Stand tall my freckled friend

We are one
you are me
And I am you
Together today the dragon we did kill

Who slew the dragon
It was me and it was you.
