      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I live in a dragon.
All safe warm and cozy,

With so many rooms,
All bright and so rosy.</p>

<p>Why in here there&#39;s a kitchen,
For my sandwich fixin&#39;.
And a  lounge to relax,
Read and to roar.
And when I need to sneak around,
that&#39;s what secret passages are for.
I don&#39;t have a tv
But my library is full of books<br/>
And a great big bay window
Where I sit
and read
and look.</p>

<p>When under attack from
Rain, sleet or shine
He&#39;s armored
So I barely even notice.
It&#39;s fine.</p>

<p>I Change his color every once in a while.
Red, pink, Fuschia or blue he doesn&#39;t mind
New colors make him smile!</p>

<p>They say “mans home is his castle.”
But that doesn&#39;t sound as cool
As living in a dragon
Especially one with a pool.</p>

<p>So keep your old brownstone,
condos and wagons.
Because I simply LOVE,
 living in my dragon.</p>
