Dragon & Fairy In Poetry

I wouldn't dare blame her, blame her for causing the
pain.
I couldn't bring myself to self-reproach. – Just to
complain.
And then, alas! the war broke, fire and sword
everywhere,
I enlisted in the army fighting high and low a part to
share.
It seems that you have gotten poetic inspiration
profuse?
Oh, wait! you will rhyme tomorrow; now, let us
booze!
We meet then we part: life is an ephemera, all will
pass;
A hundred percent, ok, my dear? Let us empty our
glass!
