The Grouchy Troll Trail

 

Three trolls there came from the land of beyond
through a magical gate that was near to a pond

There also came through a three headed Hydra
which had drank a Gallon of Bulmers pear cider

This attacked the three trolls each troll with a head
but the trolls threw a stone pillow they used in their bed

This shocked the poor creature and turned it to wood
so the trolls had a party and danced in the mud

They had a grand treasure which they hid near a river
and partied all night or until they did shiver

Because they fought and did argueall night they did moan
until the sun's rays nearly turned them to stone

The two eldest did contrive and trapped one under rock
then agreed to keep distance because you know how they mock

Now Grimashee is trapped but grabs at passers by
and dosen't eat much but a worm and a fly

Dukad is the eldest and can catch a mean fish
but his river is dry so all he does is wish

Goran was unkept and rather untidy
he couldn't catch fish even on a friday

He has a pet roper which hangs down from a tree
and reaches to trap passersby that will be

So be warned all ye travellers when your out on a walk
beware of grouchy trolls or monsters that stalk

Or beware of the cider drinking monsters in the trees
or the strange barking creatures that come up to your knees

For this area is a delight and a beauty in the morn
but comes awake in the eve when three grouchy trolls dawn

They seek for their treasure which they've since forgot where
and can eat the odd termite but please do not stare

And now that I've finished and you'll go seeking fun
stay safe in the woods by the river in the sun

For the grouchy trolls three will never seek you there
and success is assured if you take every care
