Susan Lendroth writes for adults and children, including picture books. She loves history, mystery and finding rhyme in unexpected subjects. "If You Ever Met a Dragon" is on Short Circuit #01, Short Édition's quarterly review.

If you ever met a dragon
and asked him in for tea,
he'd rave about the apple scones
with great civility.

He'd be the perfect guest
for anyone to host,
unless the dragon hiccuped
and flamed the scones to toast.
