The Dreaded Fate of Paddy McGee
(This'll hafta do 'til I can come up with somethin' new!  --Hey!  I rhymed! )


I've heard it told that long ago
upon a night like this
that Paddy McGee met his demise -
so let me reminisce......

McGee had fled into the night;
down to the pub he went -
to escape the naggin' of his shrewish wife,
to drink his fill and vent.

He spoke  of horrors beyond belief
that shocked most of his kin.
Paddy's lot in life was hard -
to have married Marry Flynn.

As Paddy wove his tale of woe,
he lifted many a flagon.
Little did poor Paddy know
he was soon to meet a dragon!

'Twas when he left the pub that night,
staggering on his way home,
that in his drunken state o' mind,
Paddy mistakenly killed a gnome.

His bretheren cried out "Ye shall regret
your stupid, careless deed!"
To strike our vengence on your head,
our dragon we have freed!"

No sooner were the gnomes' words out,
when a dragon did appear!
A more frightening visage never was seen
from here to Lankershire!

The dragon had a ghastly scent,
not to mention sulfuric breath. (yick!)
The smell, alone, from that wretched beast
could stink a man to death!!!

Poor Paddy, in his debauched stupor,
could barely manage a scream.
The dragon's'talons grabbed poor McGee
before his fate could be redeemed.

But Paddy's fate was much worse that that -
or so the story goes -
with one monsterously huge inhalation of breath,
Paddy flew up the dragon's nose.

So if you watch the distant skies,
upon a night like this,
you may catch sight of poor Paddy McGee
being boogered to a crisp!
