Jeremiah Johnikin was a brave sort of fellow
And so friendly that when you saw him, he would always say hello
Jeremiah Johnikin lived in the kingdom of a mighty king
Who had a huge mess
A mess that needed a hero to make it less and less
You see, there lived in the forest next to the castle
A giant dragon bird who always wanted to battle
None of the brave knights had the courage to go
“Us fight that bird? Oh no! No!”
Then came Jeremiah Johnikin handsome as ever
And with a confident grin he said
“I will go sire, and do as you desire,
I will battle this dragon bird”
When everyone heard they spread the word
Jeremiah Johnikin was to rid the land
Of this pest that had gotten out of hand
Into the woods Jeremiah went, to face that terrible dragon bird
Whose scream was the most horrible thing you ever heard
But Jeremiah Johnikin, brave was he, he had no fear
He went where the other knights did not dare
Up to that giant dragon bird, his sword in the air
With one giant swipe, a jab and a smack
Jeremiah Johnikin beat that dragon bird back
It screamed and wailed, then lowered its tail
Then fell sideways off the trail.
Jeremiah Johnikin was able to see
That the dragon bird was tied to a tree
It wanted to go home, that’s why it screamed so loud
And frightened everyone in the crowd
Jeremiah Johnikin took his sword and cut the rope
That had robbed the giant dragon bird of hope
The Hope of going home
So up he flew and away he went
Free at last from his terrible torment.
