In this short YouTube video, the speaker recites Lois Letchford’s whimsical poem “A Dragon in the Classroom.” The poem imagines a dragon assembled from everyday classroom items—a box for a body, a plastic waste bin for a head, broken clocks for eyes, cardboard tubes for legs, toilet rolls for claws, and the narrator’s father’s old tie for a tongue. The teacher initially praises the creation, but the dragon comes to life, snapping its jaw and chasing the teacher down the hallway. The video ends with a typical creator call‑to‑action, urging viewers to like, subscribe, and comment.

Hello, Lois Letchford sharing her fun with dragon poems. A Dragon in the Classroom. A dragon in the classroom. There's a dragon in the classroom. Its body is a box. Its head's a plastic waste bin. Its eyes are broken clocks. Its legs are cardboard tubes. Its claws are toilet rolls. Its tongue's my dad's old tie, that's why it's full of holes. Oh, what a lovely dragon! Our teacher smiled and said, you are a pretty dragon. She laughed and stroked its head. Oh no, I'm not! It snorted. Snap, snap, it moved its jaw and chased our screaming teacher along the corridor.
