You just never know…

I met a troll down by the river.

It made me shake, it made me quiver.

I tried to pass-in my way it stayed.

I tried to reason, it just brayed.

Soon, I tired and turned around.

It tried to stomp me into the ground.

Then I tried to run away.

It grabbed me by the neck and said, “Stay!”

I told it, “Troll, I want to go home.”

It told me, “I’m not a troll, I am a Gnome!”

I said, “Please, Gnome, let me go.”

The troll told me, “No no no!”

It looked at me and said:

 ”It’s time to eat!”  Now I’m dead…

    How like a troll to try and convince you otherwise. See what happened when you listened to it.

    Great where inspiration can come from eh.

    Beware! Trolls are everwhere and they want to eat you! Duff Man, you’re right…Inspiration is a strange thing. Bo: Strange minds think alike…Minds that are great tend to find their friends. Either way were certainly a strange pair of friends! To all others: Don’t feed the troll!
