Inspired by Ritu, of But I Smile Anyway, who is currently in the editing stages of her book!

Mischievous little dragon
Made his way onto the chair
On the desk, the author’s writings
Spread out, without a care
He wondered if she’d notice
If he added a line or two
But dragons don’t know how to write
He pondered, what he should do
Deciding he should try his hand
At a sentence, here or there
With a mighty breath, he blew
Now there’s fire, everywhere!
Whatever shall he tell her
When Mistress sees the mess
“I tried to fix your manuscript
I really must confess!
These scribbles made no sense to me
All I saw were smudges, nothing greater
So I decided to help rewrite the whole thing
I’m sure you’ll thank me for it later!”
