"Thanks for the compliment"
Her tone almost a question
I said something even more ridiculous
She walked away
I sat in silent disgrace
That is how it's always been:
I am no good on my feet
And although I have charmed the monster
a time or two
Exactly "how" escapes me
No learning takes place
Now I'm in a place
where I don't want to,
don't need to,
and wouldn't act on it anyway
But it's fun to see if tempting
the dragon's fire (without getting burned) is still . . .
possible
