DUNKER THE TROLL

I was walking across a bridge at twilight When a scruffy hairy monster jumped out from in front of me At first, I was very afraid in the dim light Until he said he was going to put me in a cauldron For me, he was going to eat For some reason, I started to laugh and asked his name He said it was Dunker the brave I told him I was twice the size of him If I wanted his bones I could snap And into the cauldron, he would go Then he started to sniffle and cry Feeling sorry for him I asked him why He told me that people hated him Every village he travelled in He was forced to leave and made to go In his friendliness, they did not believe They said he was bad luck and stinky like cheese And yes they were true when they said he smelt like a pig But his heart is full of kindness And his soul is true and so big He told me it was a myth that he eats people And that he only eats plants so he is a vegan So I spoke to the villages and begged them to be kind Requesting that they allow him to visit there village After much discussion, they gave a condition That was that has to shower every other day Using shampoo and conditioner Now he helps the villages every day And vegetables are his pay
