A song to be told

So I went to the market today to buy some things for my little one and ran into a bard who was singing this song!

(Verse 1) I found a dusty volume with a spine of dragon scale, A guide to ancient mysteries, a high-magic holy grail. I saw the part on summoning—the sigils and the chant, But skipped the three-week study phase, thinking, "Knowledge? No, I can't." I didn't check the ethics or the lineage of the flame, I just wanted a pet to call a cool and scary name.

(Chorus) Oh, I didn't read the Wicca, didn't study the Draconic, And the chaos in my living room is tragically ironic. I thought it was a lizard I could train to sit and stay, But a guardian of the cosmos doesn't see it quite that way. The incense is all scattered and the ritual’s a mess, Turns out "taming" ancient spirits requires more than just a guess.

(Verse 2) I didn't ground my energy or seek the North's consent, Now I’m hiding in the bathtub wondering where the ceiling went. I offered it some jerky and a squeaky rubber bone, It looked at me with wisdom that would chill a king on his throne. It’s not a golden retriever, it’s a force of wind and stars, And it’s currently incinerating all the local cars.

(Bridge) The book said "Mind the Balance," and "Respect the Elder Kin," I thought that was a suggestion so I dived right on in. No circle of protection, no intent that’s pure and true, Now there’s a six-ton astral entity eating all my stew.

(Outro) So if you’re feeling mystical and want a winged friend, Read the whole damn textbook from the start until the end. Don't skip the philosophy or the way to show respect, Or you'll have a smoky crater where your house used to connect. Yeah, read up on the Wicca... Before you call the fire.
