A proud and queenly Unicorne,
Her spiralling horn a-gleaming,
Came prancing down yon forest path
Upon a Summer's Evening...

She chanced to meet a Gryphon dire,
Which roared and beat his winges--
His talons raked the greensward
As he bellowed: "I am King!"

The Unicorne laughed and shook her head:
"Thou art mistaken, Sir!
For I am Queen of all Magic Beasts
Of Feathers, Scales and Fur."

The Gryphon's eagle eyes did blaze,
His lion's tail was lashing;
"Conceited donkey with a horn!
Prepare to get a thrashing!"

Just then a Dragon, belching flame,
Came whiffling through the wood;
The Gryphon and Unicorne fled in fear,
Both their rumps got scorched good!

So do not boast that you're the best;
There's always someone who
Can take you down a peg or three
To-whit, to-whee, to-woo!!!

This is a silly bit of nonsense, but I dedicate it to my dear friend and fellow poet :iconevealyn:, who shares my love of Unicorns, Dragons, and other Wondrous Beasts!:heart:

I think the meter definitely fits the tale well! Many people try to force iambic pentameter but here it is done well and classy! I always see Unicorns as feminine beasts so I enjoyed that bit, and I definitely imagine she would be haughty. I love the old English used as well! And the last part made me laugh! Overall I really actually HAD FUN while reading this poem, a very rare thing indeed! Wonderful!
