Language - Poetry - My Invisible Dragon

 'My Invisible Dragon'

I have an invisible dragon.

She's such a remarkable flyer.

She soars through the sky on invisible wings

exhaling invisible fire.

My dragon is utterly silent.

She soundlessly swoops through the air.

Why, she could be flying beside you right now,

and you'd never know she was there.

And if you should reach out to pet her,

I don't think you'd notice too much.

Her body is simply too airy and light

to sense her by means of a touch.

And just as you don't see or hear her,

and just as she cannot be felt,

my dragon does not have an odour at all,

which means that she'll never be smelt.

Although you may find this outlandish,

you just have to trust me, it's true.

And, oh, by the way,

did I mention I have an invisible unicorn too?
