3rd in the 'Calling All Poets 2007' competition

Its tail great, its scales filled with beauty,
And it is very well known that it knows its easy duty,
But I just can’t bear that awful gazing dragon stare,
Because when I look into its eyes I see
Wickedness, hatred and disguise,
It’s as if the evil is guarded by good,
As if the dragon never understood.
