Difficult to Ignore

When a cat wants cuddles, he can be difficult to ignore.
When a dog wants to play, his sorrowful eyes will make you feel horrible if you refuse.
A fish doesn't care too much, so long as you remember what time he is fed.
And a bird will chatter away any thoughts you might have had to ignore her.
All of these creatures are safe to slightly ignore, but there is one critter whom you should never ignore.
For on her best day, she is irritable, short tempered, and hungry. While on her worst days, she is irritated, enraged, and ravenous.
Should you ignore her, you might get your socks singed. Or she could decide you'd be a nice smoked snack.
For one may ignore a cat, dog, fish, or bird.
But one may never ignore a dragon, for they are vain, fire-breathing creatures, while you are merely a future snack or snack bringer.
So think carefully of which you'd rather be.
