Written for the Bard of Naevehjem competition at Naevehjem Anniversary 2023 0n 11/11/23.
The theme was: "Placate the ego of our Frost Dragon with boasts and bragging of the terrors, might, beauty, and power of the dragons of old"
I don't know many dragons. But I do know the the Frost Dragon. I went up against him in 2022 and tried to placate him with candied bacon, while he was distracted by that Nikolaos Phaistios took him out ;(
So I decided to write a boast in honor of:
The Grand and Glorious Frost Dragon
- There are no boasts better than the truth.
- And nothing is more couth
- Then an honest telling
- Of the dragon's quelling.
- And so I say forsooth:
- The frost dragon of Naevehjem
- Is the greatest dragon of all time.
- Showing its might
- In fight after fight.
- Without a moment of down time.
- Each year the dragon appears.
- High, it's frosty head rears.
- Its mission is vital.
- To defend its title.
- Then go have a couple of beers!
- The line of foes is long.
- All of them fearless and strong.
- The dragon fears not,
- They all will be fought.
- Even if it takes all day long.
- Each fighter takes the field
- With no intent to yield.
- They join the bandwagon.
- And circle the dragon.
- With their mighty swords and shield.
- The dragon takes it in stride.
- And it's time it does bide.
- Then a mighty whack
- And the helm does crack.
- Thus another fighter has died.
- The dragon wins fight after fight,
- By virtue of its cunning and might.
- Each fighter laid low,
- From blow after blow,
- Be they noble, or squire, or knight.
- When the fighting is done,
- And all have had their fun,
- The dragon turns to go.
- And saluting each foe,
- Disappears into the setting sun.
