The Dragon's Retort

Now, I am a dragon. Please listen to me
For I'm misunderstood to a dreadful degree
This ecology needs me and I know my place
But I'm fighting extinction with all of my race
Well, I came to this village to better my health
Which is ever so poor, despite all my wealth
But I get no assistance and no sympathy
Just impertinent questioning shouted at me
Yes, virgins taste better than those who are not
But my favorite snack mixed with peril is fraught
For my teeth will decay and my trim go to pot
Yes, virgins taste better than those who are not
Well, I'm really quite kind almost all through the year
Vegetarian ways are now mine out of fear
But a birthday needs sweets as I'm sure you'll agree
And barbecued wench tastes like candy to me
As it happens our interests are almost the same
You see I'm really quite skillful at managing game
If I ate just your men, would your excess decline?
Of course not, the rest would just make better time
Now, the number of babies a woman can bear
Has limits, and that's why my pruning's done there
And an orphan's a sad sight and so when I much
I'm careful to eat only virgins for lunch
