Not Necessarily Green

Sausage and custard and ice cream with mustard Chocolate coated Kentucky Fried Bustard Whipped cream with mushrooms or frogspawn on toast These are the foods that an ogre likes most Volcanic craters and baths full of gators A pantry thats choc full of gagged and bound waiters sleeping on bones in a pterosaurs nest These are the places an ogre likes best Eyeballs and elbows, the odd severed nose Ankles and legs and a number of toes Earlobes and kidneys and hearts to dissect Things that an ogre just loves to collect Teeth that are bleeding and eyes that are red Skin like the skin of somebody that’s dead One missing ear and a hole in the throat And chomping raw meat from the leg of a goat So now that you have him laid clear in your head The image you see is of someone to dread For sometimes the truth is a pain in the neck And ogres in real life are nothing like Shrek
