Poem
Trolls are in our basement. My hubby invited them there. Every night they wrestle…only for a little fun, they declare. But I won’t let them have coffee or stay up late at night. Believe me grumpy trolls stomping around your house can be a fright! My Hubby goes to work each and every day. And can you guess who baby-sits the trolls while he’s away? They’ve played Xbox and Play Station through every foray and doomsday… So I’ve taught them how to clean and mow, strictly to pay their way. And now they’re reading children stories each and every morn. Then they watch American Idol reruns, trying to sing along. One is taking ballet lessons to improve his earthly charms. But my favorite is serving at the Soup Kitchen daily, way down town. I called my friend the Leprechaun to give me a little help. To keep them from being bored, he lets them chase him through the park. One he has been grooming to join the Boston Marathon next year. Others, he’s getting ready to present Shakespeare in the park for a lark. I thought, that would surely go well, if they’ll leave their clubs at home. They like the richness in how he writes, and think they can improvise some. But adding more mayhem to Shakespeare isn’t what I had in mind. It’ll be like the 3 stooges doing Shakespeare, and I’m afraid of what I’ll find… When the Big day came… I had to close my eyes, and much to my surprise. Halo, World of War Craft, and crude singing had added to their charm. Movie agents began to swarm… as the teenagers burst out in applause. Now they’ve signed for TV commercials to compete with Vikings selling credit cards. And don’t forget the movie they’re making that puts Shakespeare in a different light. My hubby isn’t amused at losing his wrestling troll friends along the way. But they gave him a lot of free passes to join them at various spots in their foray. So I can finally say, everyone lived Happily Ever After… Hip…Hip…Hooray! Now have a very pleasant and good day…
