Goliath
G is for the giant, almost ten feet tall.
O is for oppression from this Phillistine.
L is for looks of disdain given David.
I is for Israel, his worst enemy.
A is for arrogance which was his trademark.
T is for threats of servitude if he won.
H is for his head which young David removed.
Goliath is remembered for the way he died.
