Gyugyi all bent and twisted

Shedding scales as she goes along

An uglier form, you’ve never seen.

 

In The caves above the hills

She lived all lonely in the dark

Picturesque if not a lonely spot.

 

From that dark and lonely spot

She watches the village down the hill

As people play and laugh and sing.

 

Then one day came the marauding hordes

With loot and plunder in their hearts

Poor gyugyi saw them from afar

 

All twisted and bent she knew she is

A pretty sight she knew she’s not

However be it as it may, she got to do what she got to do.

So down to the little town she went

As fast as her crooked legs can go

First man she saw froze up in fright, the second fainted in a heap.

Quite a ruckus gyugyi caused

So much that knights were called at once

Poor gyugyi tried to state the fact

Too late an arrow pierced her heart.

Just as that arrow did its job

The real monsters did arrive

Killed all their kids just like they feared

And burnt their village to the ground.

Those villagers never did find out

That hidden in all that twists and scales

Had beat  a truly golden heart
