The Steel Dragon

And the Steel Dragon sank, crew and all.
The storm, the worst the storytellers could recall,
The roughest seas since yesteryear.
One's like these, the lake-dwellers fear.
These storms aren't infrequent this late in fall.

The kids building sandcastles saw it all.
They were the ones who made the emergency call.
A Sea Knight deployed when it started to clear.
And the Steel Dragon sank.

The Magic Horse had gotten caught in the squall,
But managed to find safety behind a break wall.
Of the Steel Dragon they found only her gear,
And part of the rudder they had used to help steer.
Now there's a statue in the Mariner's Hall.
And the Steel Dragon sank.
