The message of the poem The Tale of Custard the Dragon is that every human on earth has his own capabilities and the way of his living. We should never judge him and discriminate against him because they way he looks or thinks. Moreover who should never believe those who boast about their abilities and appreciate themselves.
A person is judged when the trouble arises. e.g. in the poem, all the animals boast about themselves while Custard remains coward. However when the pirate comes, their bravery is gone and they run away for life. On the other hand, Custard fights the pirate bravely and kills him. Hence, he was not coward at all. It was just the thinking of other animals who could never discover bravery in him.
