Odo the Dragon

Odo the Dragon

Have you ever had soda go right up your nose?
Those bubbles will sting from your head to your toes
So you might feel sorry for poor Odo the dragon
the fire from his sneezes his nose hair did blacken

The fear of the flames gave him a terrible puzzle
what he needed it seemed was to go soak his muzzle
he flew over land and he flew over the sea
he wallowed in quagmire and even tried tea.

He bought slushies and milk shakes but nothing would do
the fire in his nostrils made him aquamarine blue
But what soothed him at last and made him feel spry
was to lie in the rain with his nose to the sky.
