DAI FIREBUMS HOLIDAY

------------------------------

Dai Firebum lives in a valley, in the very southmost of Wales,

Dai is the sweetest of Dragons, two feet tall with sparkling red scales.

Dai just longed for adventure, so decided to visit his Granny on Skye,

But that’s on the west coast of Scotland, so this very small Dragon would fly.

Dai just took off one fine morning, heading North, just following his nose.

He’d never travelled this distance, so had no idea what this would pose.

Flying North he came upon Scotland, a place he’d never seen in his life,

Across a river and over three bridges, to a place called the Kingdom of Fife.

Dai was now getting tired and hungry, and looked for somewhere to land,

Roe Deer Place in Dunfermline looked nice, so a rest there was hastily planned.

The wee boys who were playing on scooters, just stared at the sight with some wonder,

As Dai crashed down in amongst them, his landings always bordered on blunder.

Dai introduced himself as a Dragon, and then told of his long trip from the South,

The wee boys said “you’re not a Dragon”, or there would be fire coming out of your mouth.

Dai explained that he had a wee problem, and couldn’t pick from where the fire came,

But the children just wanted some magic and begged him to show them a flame.

So Dai puffed out his belly, then squeezed to make the fire come,

Then the boys just fell about laughing, as a flame shot out of his BUM.

Then the children grew very serious, and said “you’ll run if you’ve got any sense”,

You’ve burned a whopping great hole, right in the middle of Big Eddies fence.

The boys all jumped on their scooters, and shot off away down the street,

But Dai just stayed where he was , and decided to try and look sweet.

Big Eddie burst out his front door, He was truly a giant amongst men,

To Dai who’s a two foot Dragon, Eddie looked about eighteen feet ten.

Now Eddies anger didn’t last long, when faced with this wee creatures charms,

When Dai told Eddie he was hungry, the big man just swept him up in his arms.

“You’re in luck wee man “ said Eddie, out the back we’ve got mountains of food”,

“We’ve got friends around for a party, and you crash landing here is quite good”.

“You see I’ve got a wee bit of a problem, my barbeque has run out of gas”,

“ And not to put it too bluntly, we need the fire that you seem to pass”.

So Dai had a great day at the party, flame grilling and sizzling the meat,

Lots of selfies were taken with people, and the wee Dragon got all he could eat.

Messrs Wallace and Butt were having great fun, maybe drinking too many beers,

Getting too close to the flame from Dais bum, they burned all the hair from their ears.

The next morning was sad, as Dai had to go, he had to get to his Grannies on Skye,

As Karen and Eddie hugged very tight, Dai turned to wave them goodbye.

And as they watched Dai disappearing from view a tear landed in Big Eddies glass,

Eddie just sighed and said,” well I suppose, I’ll just have to go and buy GAS”.
