Trolls often get bad press
I met a troll sitting under a bridge 
looking sad
he was kicked out of the mountain 
because it had two eyes
normal trolls have only one eye
planted on the forehead 
Worst of all, the unfortunate troll didn't
 had a tree stuck in his  long nose, ducks under 
water inhale mightily and
catch trout
Goats grazing at the bank
of the stream,
but the sad troll had a phobia against
against horns
besides, he didn't like the way they stunk
Our troll wore soft straw shoes
I suggested he make indoor shoes
for farmers's wives, sell them and
be famous 
He did so well that a rose bush grew on his long nose
the drawback was he could no longer
catch trout
When other trolls heard of this, he was
invited inside the mountain because
trolls to like soft shoes and roses
