The Wizard And The Dragon Poem by Ima Ryma

The wizard and the dragon played
A game of chess to choose who would
Be master of this forest glade
Over domain of magichood.
The wizard played chess very well.
The dragon was a novice at
The game, so odds were play would tell
That in this forest habitat
The wizard would quite soon prevail
In winning goal he did aspire.
The wizard forgot one detail,
The dragon could and did breathe fire.

The wizard met a crispy fate,
The dragon grinned and said, 'Checkmate! '
