"It's hard for a girl to be sure if She wants to be rescued. I mean, I quite Took to the dragon. It's nice to be Liked, if you know what I mean. He was So nicely physical, with his claws And lovely green skin, and that sexy tail, And the way he looked at me, He made me feel he was all ready to Eat me. And any girl enjoys that. So when this boy turned up, wearing machinery, On a really dangerous horse, to be honest I didn't much fancy him. I mean, What was he like underneath the hardware? He might have acne, blackheads or even Bad breath for all I could tell, but the dragon-- Well, you could see all his equipment At a glance. Still, what could I do? The dragon got himself beaten by the boy, And a girl's got to think of her future."

Nice one, Mark! Incidentally, Harry Potter geeks might notice that the saint is astride, not a horse, but a hippogriff. (Engraving from Goya's illustrations for Ariosto's Orlando Furioso.)
Sean, we're having a soiree at our Carrowholly place on Friday, July 10th, and would like to extend an invitation to you and your significant other. Let me know. --T.
