Year of the Dragon

deckardcanineToday marks the start of the Year of the Dragon,
Which differs from all other signs
By taking its name from a beast out of myth
(Not Komodo or other such kinds).
So why did that happen? I haven’t a clue.
Do you think that the ancient Chinese
And similar cultures believed in just one
Type of fantasy creature? Oh, please.
I’d wish for a zodiac loaded with critters
Of legend, each one of them rad.
A Year of the Phoenix, the Kraken, the Roc,
Or the Unicorn wouldn’t be bad.
That said, I don’t put any stock in the claim
That the signs hold significant sway.
A mythical bunch might dissuade many people
From shaping their worldview that way.
