Vacuity

The giant grew addled (as they tend to do)
as walls are for windows, not head butting through
he roasted the clucker (as her egg went bad)
then drafted a dodger that’s traveled a tad
but lost all his money (as giants will joke)
by suffering losses when going for broke
and now his whole kingdom (as far as that goes)
may crumble much quicker than anyone knows.

  1. Needs that golden goose
    Or a rich moose
    To keep afloat
    And not have to rely on a goat

  4. Do you think Giants are scared of heights? To risk or not to risk it all.

  6. I think that this giant (it's just my opinion)
    Should be more self reliant (to keep his dominion)
    Foolish giants eat their fowl (instead of eggs)
    And are left to howl about eating dregs.
    Grow up giant dear, put a helmet on your head
    Or it may crumble, too, I fear, 'nuff said.

    I'm sorry...I just couldn't help myself. I needed to try it! I told you I had PCD! Consider this a compliment! Loved your poem!
