Ogre

An Ogre is mean, an Ogre is ugly An Ogre is smelly, grumpy and gruffly. They are so big they can block out the sun If you ever do hear one it's better to run. Some want to eat you or keep you as slaves Others will make you clean their old caves. Apart from Serog who has never been mean He is good, kind and friendly and only fifteen. Wise for his age and peaceful is he Has many friends including a bee. But didn't like the meanness he saw So set about to make kindness a law. Meetings were held and letters were wrote Hoping to persuade each Ogre to vote. Niceness was shown and what kindness can do Towards people, an a Ogre, an a reader (that's you) Each Ogre was shown how to smile, but that took a while Because it's never been their natural style. They learnt how to be helpful, gentle and careful And started to feel better and therefore successful. An Ogre is friendly an Ogre is fine An Ogre can smile and even queue in a line. An Ogre won't eat you they now eat their greens But an Ogre can be windy after eating baked beans. Contest Name Writing Challenge 'O' Words Sponsor Constance La France 24.03.23
