My love, you are the stinkmeat of my eye
The scent of your scales fills me with delight
You run so fast, you make my heart take flight
You hunt so well, you always bring a bite

My love, you are the trog of my dreams
The sound of your voice makes me swoon
You blend so well, you hide from all the beams
You fight so fierce, you make the foes croon

My love, you are the laogzed of my soul
The touch of your claws sets me on fire
You bleed so rich, you fill my every bowl
You mate so hard, you stir my desire

My love, you are the troglodyte of my life
The sight of your frill makes me your wife
