The Heartless Giant

The pirates stole the giant’s heart
So that he could love no more
Carried away by horse and kart
To their ship just off the shore
 
The pirates had a heart attack
The giant called for a storm
They decided to take the organ back
So that things could return to norm

The ship ripped and split in two
All lives were lost at sea
The heart sank deep into the blue
But still continued to beat
 
Have you ever met a heartless giant?
Things would never be the same
With rage and anger he grew defiant
To make up for the pain
