Once upon a time in the days of old There lived a very ugly troll But her heart was made of gold
Her body was round and lumpy Her brow furrowed and grumpy She always stood all slumpy
She was abandoned as soon as she was born For her mother had looked upon her with scorn For with beauty she was not adorned
She was wrapped in a towel and placed under a bridge Right up there on that little ridge She was nothing then but a little smidge
The forest creatures insteed of eating her up Raised her as a cub They even shared with her their grub
The wolf taught of graces The vultures, patience The skunk, fragrances
The mouse taught of need The crow, greed The fox, speed
She lived in an ugly house of mud Just like her the outside was a dud But wow the inside of that hut could warm your blood
Late one night came a knock on her door It was a knight in shining armor complete with sword Battle weary, and badly gourd
She took him in and sewed up he's wounds He looked longingly in her eyes, she thought loved had bloomed But in reality she unknowingly sealed her doom
For he had seen her heart of gold Please excuse me, this is where the tale turns cold For this knight was not so nice, he had a heart of mold
Late that same darkened night He unsheathed his sharpest knife And plunged in the troll's chest just right
With a wailing mournful cry Right there in her hut she would die In that fleeting moment that sparkle left her eye
That knight cut out that gloden heart It was so huge he had to put it on a cart He didn't feel bad, what an ugly troll was he's only thought
The animals came to see what was that screaming sound The wolfs smelled around Nose to the ground Off to hunt that evil knight down
The vultures did what they do, and ate her remains The crows joined in and did the same The mice and the fox just ran around all insane
The moral to this story is an ugly body can hold a heart of gold But this world is very, very cold So be very careful with your heart and to who it is you show
