Lois Letchford reads Jack Palutski's poem about a mischievous dragon living inside a computer. The poem is from Palutski's book Dragons Are Singing Tonight, told in a playful, child-friendly voice.
Hello, I'm Lois Letchford with the poem A Dragon Is in My Computer from Jack Palutski's book Dragons Are Singing Tonight. I'm sure we'd all love a dragon in our computer. A dragon is in my computer. It's there when I turn on the screen. It stares at me, fierce and unfriendly. Through eyes of malevolent green. It hisses and spits little fires. It flicks its preposterous tail. I've tried every trick to erase it, but all my stratagems fail. It's there when I'm doing my homework. It's there when I'm playing a game. My mouse does its best to erase it. That dragon remains. All the same, it may disappear for a minute, but always comes slithering back, appearing atop of my program, resuming its nasty attack. I have no idea where it came from or why it keeps picking on me, examining me like a morsel. It's thinking it might fraxacy. I wish I could douse it with water. And bop it a bit on the snout. A dragon is in my computer. I hope that it never gets out.
