The three-headed dragon of Thrunn,
Considers life not to much fun.
His heads disagree,
'Bout where to have tea,
So his legs don't know which way to run.
Head 1 says "Let's go to the West,
There's sheep there, I like mutton best."
Head 2 says "Oh no.
'Tis North we must go,
For man-flesh." Head 3's not impressed...
"There's cows in the East, let us race
And roast us some beef in that place."
And thus, every brain
Tries to set legs in train,
And the poor beast falls flat on its face.
Come folks, show the poor thing some pity.
Of food he will not get a bit, he
Acquires far from ample,
A classic example,
Of government by a committee.
