Slayer

Slay me beneath my head,
And leave me 'till I'm good and dead.

The dragon breathes,
And I'm fast asleep,
Lying in your head.

I awake with a quake,
Moving without mistake,
Careful to grab the stake.

I yelled,
"Leave this bed,
It isn't your bed,
And I won't go without a fight!"

The dragon draws,
It's nasty claws,
Getting ready to strike.

I breathe a heap,
And take a leap,
And man was it quite a hike.

I slay him now,
With my gleaming brow,
Knowing you're safe and sound.

You look around,
And without a frown,
Said,
"Now I cannot drown."
