Dragonfly, dragonfly
Take me up high
To your little world
Up in the sky
On your wings of blue
I see a flicker of light
That's all you need to see
In the darkness of night
When you're tired
Find a lantern on which to rest
That's when your mystical powers
Will be put to the test
Span your wings
Bathe in heat
But please be careful
Or you'll be a frog's dinner to eat

ah, that is so cute. I had no idea children's poetry could be this lucrative. I have heard it's the hardest genre to break into. Good for you.
Yes, the ending is funny, like a child would like.
