I bought a Carthage apple from a goblin man,
so red, so juicy,
all the little seeds wormed out onto my skirt.

Then I saw the goblin man snuffling around by a tree,
I paid him a silver sixpence for some purple roots,
they made a delicious soup.

Now my hair's falling out,
and I dream of seed-worms and rootling teeth.
