Dragon Tamer

A fantastic proposal: taming a dragon,
Teaching it manners or pulling a wagon.
It's long and hard, but also quite fun
Taming a dragon under the sun.

Adopt an egg first, help it to hatch
Plenty easier than trying to catch.
Once it's a baby, feed it quite well
Hold it, talk to it, trust it can tell.

Your kindness pays off: an obedient fledgling
Stays by your side without any meddling.
Next comes the training, the do and the don't
Patience is crucial, or teaching it won't.

Steadfast like clockwork, your schedule maintain;
This helps it to learn and patterns to gain.
Advance it gently, with plenty of praise
Set goals and levels to guide it in grace.

Soon your dragon will grow strong and mature
A beautiful sight, that's for sure!
Flying freely across summer skies
A creature well-trained, healthy and wise.
