An Annoying Troll - Children Story

A troll followed me home one day,
Looking to bring me down.
I told it I didn’t want to play,
To go dig a great deep hole,
Roll its little soul into the black hole.
It didn't matter where I went
It just wouldn't go away.
The troll climbed up the phone pole
Stuck its drooling tongue out and scolded.
I had troll in my soup bowl,
Troll in my egg-roll,
Troll my keyhole,
Troll in my buttonhole,
Troll in my toilet roll,
Troll in my toilet bowl.
It followed me to school and crawled
Into my cubbyhole.
It followed me to the barber shop
Sat on top of the barber's pole.
It followed me on my date
Sat between me and my date.

I finally decided I was going to get control,
Ignored the troll and foiled its day,
Until one day it got bored
And  slithered away.

You did, in time, discover the only proper way to handle any/all annoying trolls, and I'm sure your cleverly instructive (and gleefully taunting) piece will cause at least some others to slither away. I enjoyed reading this.

Ugh. How disgusting. And, difficult to deal with. You have aptly described it. Thanks for sharing.

Cute and funny. I saw some film with a troll but cannot recall the name.
