Someone recently asked me where my .sig quote came from and I admitted it is
made up by my not so fair self.  The challenge is made to you .prosers to
write prose or poetry that ends in the line
'with fearsome eyes and fiery breath the dragon burnt the girl to death'
and it should be called 'Too late Saint George'.  Of course you can all 
ignore me, but if you take it up why not post the results to prose.d...



Here is my quickly made up and not too fine entry number one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Too Late Saint George!

The brave Sir knight rode hard and fast
the crowds parted to let him past
Beyond the village, a lone mud track
Riding to fetch the fair lady back

His steeds coat gleamed in the moons light
The thunderous hooves breaking into the night
What chivalrous man with mighty lance
could possibly pass such a saintly chance

A distant scream spurred him on
towards the fabled, fearsome demon
One last rise and what a sight
the beautiful damsel faced the demons might

But no, alas, mere moments late
the girl met her monstrous fate
for with fearsome eyes and fiery breath
the dragon burnt the girl to death
