feeling superior to trolls

they live in the toadstools of Venue Valley
materializing only when wanting to do mischief
or to frighten a superstitious human

I heard them giggling once,
but they did not appear to me
trolls are fearful of redheaded girls

We have a reputation of turning them into toads
or bats, cats, snakes or worse
it is our Celtic heritage on speed

come on out! I teased them
there was stony silence
I knew then how they feared me
it made me feel superior to trolls
