Just Sayin'

You sure you want a prince?

Actually, dragons are hardworking,

faithful and honest, long term.

Maybe not so good-looking but

it takes skill to breathe all that fire.

He keeps the house warm.

The kids can bounce on his tail.

Prince Charming is an idiot. Look at 

all the great women he ignores

while out chasing dragons.

Loved the poem Joe. I am married to a dragon who is also a prince. Thanks for bringing back YDP Jayne. You are a queen.

Delightful! My 14yo son and his visiting friend (who play Dungeons and Dragons) also really liked it.

Joe, sounds as if you, like many husbands, are the best combination of prince and dragon.
