There are these little people you see,
Not in any way like you or me.
They are sticky and stinky, and make nothing but noise
They'll steal your cookies and make you buy toys
I know them well; they live with me
I've got three boys that won't let me be
For I have been taken hostage, and the ransom , I don't know
The torture is brutal, it's intense and it's slow
All of my things are mines no more,
My childless friends think my life is a bore
But it's not a bore, these cute little creatures made it much more fun
Now I'm a water gun toting lunatic shooting my captors in the hot sun
On a good day I have the appearance of a woman dragged by a truck
My new found language is "squeak", "whistle", and quack like a duck
The captors have designed my clothes with juice, food, and paint
I wear my clothes proudly and make other people faint
Everyday I am thankful I have been kidnapped by these kids
Even when they forget to flush, and never put down the lid
They are mines now, and I forget life without them
I thank my Rabb everyday, for I wouldn't have children without him

A MAGICAL TROLL
Once upon a time, there lived a troll;
With magical powers, could turn rocks into gold.
Born a dwarf,
