 'Whole house freeze!'

It was a Thursday I stepped to the club, there
she was
Draped in a burgundy dress, silhouetted superbly
Curved indeed, she started staring in my
direction
Luring and urging seductively, body language
instructing me
I offered her a drink instead she took a cup of
tea
And then I lied about my luxury lifestyle
I said 'So who you be? You looking kind of tight,
gal
I would love to see you in a nightgown'
She said 'They call me the Dragon Queen and I
come from Tibet
I'm calm in the face of pressure and you'll never
see me sweat
I've come to your country in search of a lost
Scroll
That contains directions to a hidden village
comprised of gold'
I looked at her confused and said 'But why have
you told me this?'
She said the description that I fit
Was that of the Chosen One who'd go beyond
Then slipped a concoction in my drink
Immediately set my consciousness adriftà

Now I'm in that zone dwelling, I woke in a
warehouse tied to a chair
With an abundance of flair surrounding me in a
circular angle
Glared up at the Dragon Queen's lair, wasn't
imagining a thing
Her steps on the stairs had a magic Gleam, glowed
brightly
To prepare me for my journey a Sword was hovering
towards me
Plus garlic from the Keepers of the Gate who bore
all the secrets and take
Care of trespassers, but at last it's prophesied
that I would gain
Access to a cultural dynasty buried and seize and
capture the Scroll
Massive helicopters patrolled the rooftops,
strapped in
Began travelling into the darkness, knew not of
what awaited
Thought of a way to get out of it, just then the
bottom gave way
I began falling and gave it ten seconds, pulled
the cord on my parachute
Landed surrounded by a herd of wild barracudas,
lions
The sounds of the wild kingdom piercing like a
siren
Was I entering near the mere mortal life span's
end?
Defiantly I stood boldly as they began closing in
And time seemed to be moving rapidly just thenà
 

'Whole house freeze!'

Just then I pulled the Sword and somehow
It affected all the creatures as they stepped
back and bowed
And the same Glow that I seen in the Sword I seen
in the eyes of the Lion
Who began leading me in a specific direction as
if trying to tell me something
Just over the horizon, the same creatures who had
been described
Appeared in statue form but their eyes scoped
And as I approached the gate they began to break
open and cried
'AFTER YEARS WE HAVE FINALLY BEEN AWAKENED!'
The assault was on, I got knocked to the ground
by one
Shocked in an unorthodox form boxing
Throwing an abnormal proportion of body blows,
karate chops
And drop kicks, plunged struggling deeper into
the swamp
Then I grabbed my Sword, the garlic put it around
my neck
Saw that it was draining all of their energy and
then with a swing
Off with their heads!
The gates slowly and mysteriously opened
So curiously I moseyed in with intensity focusing
on my objective
Spider webs the size of king-size beds
Fell into a secret passage not knowing to where
it lead
Just then the same Light beamed brightly and in
the distance
At that instance, lo and behold, the hidden
Scroll!
And just as I thought my mission was over
I could feel the Dragon Queen breathing heavily
over my shoulder

As she began to transform and metamorphosise
She took on an assortment of legs, arms, heads
and eyes
And sprouted two horns and began to breathe fire
So once again I grabbed my trusty Sword but to my
astonishment
She burned it to a crisp turned and grasped the
Scroll
And exited much faster than secreted gas, I'm
gasping
Clasp full of flames cast in my direction
I saw my whole life flash and the possibility of
death
And a casket passed into the ground, pound for
pound, astounding
How could I survive and last another round inside
this madness?

'Whole house freeze!'
