The Lovable Troll



Standing on the shelf inside,
Is a magical Troll,
In truth these wonderful keepsakes,
Are very fun and droll.

The gift shop he came from,
Gave card that had explained,
How to keep a Troll,
And how a Troll is trained.

Nice card that came with Troll,
Warned of disbelief,
And doubting that Trolls are real,
Will steal them like a thief,

I will never forget this truth,
This import is not missed,
I don't want to cause my Troll,
No longer to exist.

I believe I swear I do,
This thought imparts my soul,
I love my little keepsake,
The fun and happy Troll.
