It was a crazy initiation,
Fight the dragon, impress the nation,
but something sporadic, unplanned,
Happened that shocked the land.
They sent a novice, a raw beginner
But oddly, he returned the winner
He didn’t fight, attack or defend,
He talked to the Dragon and made him a friend.

When I was younger, my mom and I would blast that song in the car and sing along to it full blast. It was funny too, because my mother back then looked exactly like Jane Fonda in “9 to 5” – Spot on! 😉
