it is a weak little troll

if it were a mountain troll, we would fear it

have no fear

it is a weak little troll

it screams, it beats, it bullies, it bashes, it belittles

because that is what it is

nonetheless

kill it

for the first time it was weak and stupid

this time it has enlisted the aid of its army of toads

but the third time’s a charm, they say

so kill it

not with old age

nor imprisonment

but with an axe to the neck

as all small trolls deserve
