Trolls

There’s a troll beneath the bridge today,

menacing the children as they go on their way.

He’s got big nasty claws and a lopsided head.

You answer his riddles or end up dead.

“What’s six plus three?”

“Nine!”

Phew. Sophie’s fine.

“What do horses eat?”

“Hay!”

Great—Tyler ’s okay.

“What sound does a sneeze make?”

“Achoo!”

Raj made it through.

Now the troll’s got his question for you:

“Fried or baked? Grilled or flambé?

How would you like to be eaten today?”
