I met them on my holiday.
In a cave far, far away.
It was snowing and very cold.
I ran outside feeling bold.
I hiked into the mountains, hoping to play.
But there was a blizzard, so I found a cave and had to stay.
I heard a low rumble from deep inside.
I found a rather large rock and crouched behind it to hide.
When it had finished I ventured deeper down.
Until I saw two glowing eyes that made me frown.
As it emerged it looked kind and wise.
And I saw their fierce but kind eyes.
And then I realised that they were young as well.
You probably guessed it but I might as well tell.
They were snow dragons, called Snowy and Snow.
