A Morally Inadequate Fable

---

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 i pulled him free ere he d sank three
i labored with him by the heel
until we d reached my far chateau
once there i chased away his chill
then kindly i spoke to invoke good will

[I ve helped ye as neighbors do
therefore i ll ask for i must know
do you judge me as i judge you]

He feebly smiled [indeed i do]

With that i frowned and said [oh well
this then should come as no great blow]
i clobbered him atop his shell
and promptly ate him toof and nail

after all
i am TROLL †
