Friendship



Dragons are waiting over every hill,
Evil princes and lords stealing your home,
They hunt you down and close in for the kill,
They force you to flee and forever roam.
 
But you have a secret they do not know,
An enchanted partner strong by your side,
He is grey on top and white down below,
Wherever you go, he’s there for the ride.
 
When all seems lost, your sidekick saves the day,
Not with a punch, but with a thought or joke,
He doesn’t need grapes and doesn’t need hay,
Just feed him waffles and a golden yolk.
 
If life starts to seem like an awful wreck,
It’s surely no match for Donkey and Shrek.
