The Troll
“Stay right away from the forest.’ they say;
“The troll will catch you for sure.
He lurks near the lake,
He skulls in the shrubs
And he hides in the hollows of trees.”
If he catches you, you will be sorry, ’they say;
“ Boys and girls are his favorite lunch,
He thinks toes are tasty
Hair is like honey
And nose just so nice to nibble.”
They say anything to keep children away
From my den deep in the woods
Where I eat luscious leaves,
Bright berries, sour seeds
And fresh fruits from the trificka tree.
I just can’t believe they think I eat kids,
Why would I want to do that?
I’d love to meet one
For a chinwag and chat-
A friend for a lonely old troll.
Stay right away from the forest,” they say;
“The troll’s so ugly you’d faint.
He is nothing like us-
Just leave him alone
Some things don’t deserve to be loud.”
