Trolls

Deep within the darkness
in a place there is no light
lurks the troll in his cave
bathed in eternal night

His hair is green and tangled
his eyes the darkest red
in the cave of eternal night
on a pile of bones he makes his bed

He snacks on pale white fishes
that never saw the sun
and uses the bones to clean his teeth
and toenails when he is done

He sharpens his claws upon a rock
that once was a castle wall
and remembers the day long ago
when he watched that castle fall

His troll friends come visit
almost every day
and the caves echo with dark laughter
from the games they play

The goblin brings for them
all sort of trollish treats,
from old rat ears to mouldy socks
and green slimy meat

A raid upon the upper world,
they all sit and plan
to plunge the sun in the sea
and make war with the man

To live a life of darkness
without the walls within
To conquer all of human folk,
a war they wish to win

So should you hear a sound
that fills you full of fright,
the sound of evil laughter
deep within the night

Or the sound of the sun
sinking into the sea,
be on your guard,
for the trolls,
behind you,
they
will
be
