    What to Feed a Dragon


    by Kimber Krochmal

    I have a new pet dragon.


    He followed me from a dream.
    But I can’t tell my mom,
    It would only make her scream.

    I tried to feed him fried rice,


    But he didn’t like the spice.

    So I tried to feed him applesauce,


    But he said it made his eyes cross.

    I tried to feed him gingerbread,


    But he said it only hurt his head.

    So I tried to feed him peanut butter,


    But it got stuck and made him stutter.

    I tried to feed him watermelon pie,


    But that, he said, he wouldn’t try.

    So I tried to feed him sprinkle cake,


    But he said that would keep him awake.

    I tried to feed him last night’s dessert,


    But he said it made his stomach hurt.

    So I tried to feed him some fish,


    But he really didn’t like that dish.

    Then I tried to feed him cheese,


    That’s when he said “more please.”

    Now my mom is wondering why,


    We can’t keep cheese in the house.
    I heard her last night telling Dad,
    She thinks we have a mouse.
