You can hear me, But never see,

You play me, But never touch,

Sometimes I'm catchy,

But I can also drive you batty,

Who am I?

-a Melody

_____________

Some think I'm the most terrible thing,

Yet others think of me as luck.

I can fly, sometimes with wings,

and sometimes with none.

My breath can be very hot,

Yet other times, it can be cold as ice,

Who am I?

-a Dragon

______________

She is beautiful and elegant, but her sting can be as harsh as a viper.

She can do much, but can't do it all alone.

Her jewels are gorgeous, but to some it's the last they see.

Her kiss is death, and her skin is cold.

To some she is danger, but . . . to me . . . she is life

-a Sword

I am the portal to other worlds.

I'm the key that unlocks many doors.

I can create dragons, fight monsters,

and free the princess from her keep.

I can do all these things and much more.

All you have to do is use me.
