Giants Listen To Compassionate Wife
The giants piled up books on the southern shore.
It was more novels than they had ever stacked before.
The elves and gnomes were scared and yelled “no more!”
They were afraid the stack might fall on their grocery store.
Why was that okay? Asked the giant’s wife, Lamour.
We thought it would be great, said her husband Gore.
It’s fun to stack books, it’s more fun than rock stacking, not a bore.
You are terrorizing the tiny fey, said the compassionate Lamour.
So, the giant and his friends went back to the southern shore.
They unstacked the books and apologized forever more.
That’s okay said the mayor of the seaside town Latimore.
We know you did not mean to scare us forevermore.
