When dragonish desire
Sets your heart afire
Weyrling, don't you mind
You will surely find
All who love are blind (you can see where this is going, can't you?)
Your dragon's favoured hue
May not do for you
When those dragons rise
You will realise
Smoke gets in your eyes.
Greens are keen, keener than the queens
Queens are never green, you see
Browns are found where's greens around
Golds look down on browns, you see
Here's precious little chance
Of the least romance
Don't believe their lies
When your dragon flies
Smoke gets in your eyes.
Wish I knew, who the hell are you?
What you're doing in my weyr?
Is it true? My green caught your blue?
I practic'lly dragged you here? (by the hair? I am sorry!)
How Generation X
Colour coded sex
Rider, if you're wise
Learn to love surprise
Or just shut your eyes (and think of... well, weyrever)
Ditch those harper lies
When your dragon flies
Smoke gets in your eyes!
