On Slaying a Dragon?

You leave school to go out and slay a dragon

And save the world,

But, alas, there are no dragons,

At least in your neighborhood.

So you wind up campaigning

Against an occasional lizard.

Bring on the dragons!

 

Have you been campaigning against lizards?

 

Have you been wasting your life my making small plans?

 

High achievers ought to be going for the big stuff.

 

Bring on the dragons!

 

Let’s make no small plans
