The Dragonslayer

She had the slaying of dragons down to a fine art

Each slaying was a masterpiece

She tamed each one by capturing its heart

All they ever wanted was peace

She lured them with her gooseberry tart

Even the king was partial to a piece

Once he had taken a bite, no longer could they be apart

The same could be said of the King who always sued for peace

He and his beloved Queen shared a love that was way off the chart

Footnote:

For a change, I've skipped the traditional George and The Dragonslayer mythology model and gone for something a little more endearing, less dramatic, and slightly humorous.

A little shout out for the @storytellersaloon won't go a miss, the use of gooseberry tart might well be a subconscious reference to the infamous Busted Gulch muffin used for training horses.
