"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 adrift:



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 then:
