Optimistic Troll Makes the Trek
follow this bridge to the other side
there is a world there where a troll can hide
you can keep your nudity, so enjoy the walk.
be aware of things overhead that squawk
optimistic troll loved crunchy leaves
he stomped them hard; it was a breeze
the old bridge said ouch but winked his eye
this encouragement made him want to try
he figured it would take a week and a day
to cross that footbridge, but what the hey?
the only thing you have is your time right?
It was scary when it got dark late at night
He heard a WHOOO and it scared him so
He covered up with leaves and refused to go
How this story ends, is anyone’s guess….
Tune in next week to hear the rest.
