Thank You for Not Shifting

There ought to be a warning sign

It's disconcerting, to say the least

When you're in the dentist chair

Your hygienist grows a head or an eye

Or loses one

Scales rasp and fur tickles

But worst of all

When something squishy and Brobdingnagian

Tries to force itself

Into size medium scrubs

Well, I thought I'd never get the stains

Out of my shirt the last time

the dragon could turn into anything
and it did, whatever it needed to be
this worked for such a long time
bbut one day it found itself on the run
stymied at every turn
and when the hunters had it at bay
it turned into a ceramic dragon
ceramic dragons can't turn into anything
except paperweights
