The Smelly Troll

Our mayor was attacked out of town as he went for a peaceful little stroll.
There was an odor that wouldn’t go away, it was left by a pesty little troll.
Bullies come in all shapes and sizes, both male and female alike.
Here they are no longer tolerated, we will just stick your head on a pike.

I went for a short little stroll to check the perimeter outside of our town.
It appears that an old bitter troll left some puddles that are smelly and brown.
Maybe it was a drink with her father that gave her that extra little pep.
Those puddles could cause an infection, so watch each foot where you step.

Our mayor gave a call to old Wilbur, he’s a farmer who can shovel and dig.
He is pretty good at cleaning up messes, back at home he lives with a pig.
On the farm is a sign making spider, once famous but is now known as Jeb.
A few of you just might remember, he once starred in the famous Charlotte’s web.

Together they helped make a sign and then hung it by the Troll’s little shack.
It’s a reminder for this foul little creature, just be careful of who you attack.
Peace is once again restored in Soup Creek, that wretched smell is gone from our air.
Don’t mess with our good mayor Tom, he has friends who love him and care.

A shame the powers that be didn't get their facts right Tania.

I bet that was the same uppity troll that strolled into my saloon the other day. Already deep into her cups I’d say. Acting all shrewish and piggish and talking British, like Mayor Tom. I threw the shrew out on her keester. Thanks for keeping watch over our town, Sheriff Mark.

Lol, im struggling writing this I'm shaking that much. Absolutely brilliant Mark, great humour but with a clear message that trolling will be no longer tolerated on this site. It's lovely to once breath the fresh air in our town. A big fat fave from me and should be POTD. Tom
