A Morally Inadequate Fable

Featuring: The Handsome Troll

some while ago out on the plain
i met a man while it did snow
and then another day in rain
this man and i we met again
both tymes he d wave and yell
[halloo ...
get thee away from me you trowe
fly back wit that foul wind what blu
or wit me point i ll run ye thru]
a third day far out on the ice
i saw this man when he fell through
i watched him plunge and bob up twice
but pulled him free ere he d sank thrice
i labored with him by the heel
until we d reached my far chateau
once there i chased away his chill
then kindly spoke to show good will
[i ve helped ye as good folks ll do
therefore i ll ask for i must know
do you judge me as i judge you]
he broadly smiled [indeed i do]
with that i frowned and said [oh well
this then will come as no great blow]
i clobbered him atop his shell
and promptly ate him toof and nail
