A Troll In My Trunk

A Troll in My Trunk (Inspired by the YouTube video ‘A Monkey in your Trunk’) Ok! Some crazy person made a YouTube video, about a monkey in your trunk. Yep, my Trolls saw it, on their new cell phones. Now, Who would of thunk? Honestly! I tried to take those phones away. Guess What? They said no! Way! They’re twitter and app crazy and with technology, are quite ready to stay. Where did they get those fancy phones? And just where did I first, go wrong? A modern, savvy, techno Troll… It seems to me, is just so very, very wrong! How will I ever keep up with their mayhem, if I’m a step behind? Surely, You see? Well, all that came to a screeching halt, on a bridge, not long ago. Eweeee! Then I had a flat, and was thinking whom to call, while in the middle of a bridge. When suddenly a Troll popped out of my trunk. Yes, for sure, he really, really did! Now Trolls don’t fit in little trunks, so my spare, in there, wouldn’t be, in play. Hey! That is, unless, a tire pancake is what you really need. But that just wasn’t me today. So I kicked the flat and wished to myself, that all 4 tires could some how, be the same. So Trolls being Trolls, he preceded to flatten the other three as I cried out, No! NO! Then I muttered ‘Gee now, how am I to get the car to the other side’ Yep, then I cried! You guessed? The Troll picked up the car and strolled off pushing the other cars aside. When I looked back, my Troll was now trying to take tolls, yea, wouldn’t you know? This in turn caused still more problems, for the other cars left pushed aside in the roe. A policeman had been called! Yep, the Sheriff of Crazyland, was now there to behold. He gave tickets to me for disturbing the peace, and stopping the traffic flow. Oh, Woe! Being annoyed, our Troll then picked the sheriff up, and threw him off the bridge. Thank goodness, the bridge was small, close to the creek and also just a little smidge. When he crawled up, his eyes were as hard as nails, and Yes, he threw the book at me. Wet and soggy as that might be, he wouldn’t believe in my innocence at all, you see. Soooo… I now reside in our small City Jail, as the Troll was sent home, you bet! But oddly, there was more peace in here, than at my home, I would ever truly get. Instead of paying my fines, I decided to do some, VERY quiet time, without my brood. Unfortunately, without me to control my ditzy Dragon and bunch, craziness ensued. The town was now determined to get me out… So piled them all in my cell, all about. They won! The louts! But not without Grandpa Troll first blocking all their YouTube! Hey silly Trolls... Take that! 1st Place in Humorous Poetry Contest Won 5-18-2015

Dear Carol, How those trolls work their tricks, especially in the town of Crazyland. Thanks for taking me on this wild ride. I couldn't stop laughing. The trolls probably know how to use the fancy phones better than I do. I have a "dumb phone." :D What a great co--write with your husband! Love, Carolyn

As soon as you said that the trolls had cell phones, I was on the edge of my seat. Great story, indeed.
