Goblin Romance

I will bring you bounty from the hedgerow

Shiny berries, fat and sweet,

Really nice feathers.

I will make you funny, chewy goblin cake

Full of peanut butter

And sticky things.

I will bring you cool rocks that I find.

Some with dead things in

Some that sparkle.

I will show you the best slugs and spiders

The really cool toadstools

The nicest moss.

I will bring you stories I have scavenged

Others I have made up

Songs I like to sing.

I will take your rubbish and turn it into

Goblin treasure, happy things

Made from your old trousers.

I will bring you myself, for all the years

That I can, gladly

Be your scummy goblin.
