"the Twins" a Billy Goats Gruff Story
The story about the Billy Goats Gruff
At best, we partially know
So let me tell you the rest of the story
But, just mainly, about the troll
You see, the billy goats don't really matter
Under the bridge is where we'll start
And I guess that everyone noticed
That the troll just wasn't that smart
He was kind of short and ugly
Cause trolls are pretty small
Did I mention this troll has a sister?
Yep, his twin, is my mother-in-law
They almost look identical
But she has a fuller beard
I knew my life was over
The moment that she appeared
Ok, I'm sorry, enough about my pain
So I guess we'll just move on
Anyway, the goats were all three brothers
But the troll was not alone
When the last billy goat charged him
And he suddenly began to fall
They forgot about his sister
Remember? my mother-in-law?
In truth, the goats were killed that day
And before you start to assume
Their heads are hanging on the wall
In my mother-in-law's living room
