Lions and Dragons

Dorothy Aldis

Snap-Dragonssnap-dragon, a bright-colored garden flower, and Dande-Lions

Are not so very wild—

I never yet saw one forget

And try to hurt a child.

A Dande-Lion never roars

Not even once, for fun;

Nor waves his tail with angry wailwail, a long cry of pain, —

Because he hasn' t one!

A Snap-Dragon will never snap

No matter how he feels,

Except to try to catch a fly

To brighten up his meals.
