Not sure what to do, proceeding down this path,

Do I fight the dragon, summon his wrath?

Do I sit in my castle, and just relax?

But how can I, with his constant attacks…?

It's been said that a dragons hoard, 

is worth the risk, for the reward.

But can I leave these castle walls?

Suddenly, I hear the calls,

The townsfolk all look displeased, 

their happiness has all been seized. 

The dragon has returned, unhappy,

"Bring me treasure, and make it snappy."

I oblige the dragon, fearing torment,

give him my gold to 'Pay the rent' 

That's my price for living here,

sometimes I want to disappear.
