The Toys Of The Sultan's Heir: I and II

I: The Yellow Paper Dragon

The yellow paper dragon knew
That every winged creature flew,
The yellow paper dragon dreamed
To soar upon a breeze which always played so esteemed.

The yellow paper dragon saw
The Sultan’s heir without a flaw,
The yellow paper dragon’s cold,
He knew his yellow would never be the Sultan’s gold.

The yellow paper dragon smiled
Whenever he joined the Sultan’s child,
The yellow paper dragon wept
Whene’er the Sultan’s child was hidden as he slept.

The yellow paper dragon learnt
Ignoring wood does not make it burnt,
The yellow paper dragon knew
That ever winged creature flew.

End.

II: The Mechanical Mouse

With it’s motorized heart of cogs and wheels,
The mechanical mouse would run and spin.
With it’s mechanized mind of gears and parts,
The mechanical mouse would speed within.

With it’s tiny will of synchronised muse,
The mechanical mouse would run and spin.
With it’s minute wits of cognitive grace,
The mechanical mouse would dance within.

The Sultan’s son did love this toy,
It often found him praising joy,
He laughed and played through all the day
And race it through a coloured bouquet
(With which the palace was so festooned)
And danced as lovely ouds were tuned.

End.
