Tiny, the komodo dragon
Sat down, by the lake,
His bathing suit, he put on
A swim, he did take.

His belly had been rumbling
Saw some fish swimming by,
Tried his best to catch one
Then got spit in his eye.

He chased one onto shore
But, stubbed his toe,
The fish in the lake laughed at him
His temper, started to grow.

He ran after the fish
It jumped back into the lake,
Tiny, ran by a tree
And got a branch in the face.

Tiny, did not like this
No, not at all,
He ran down a muddy slope
At the bottom, he did fall.

Just then, Tiny decided
To just give up,
He walked back up the muddy slope
Sat down and drank chocolate, from his coffee cup.
