The Tale of Glrr

The Tale of Glrr
By Pretzel Jenkins

This is a tale from an era long passed

Forgotten and put out of mind

So listen up close, dear travelling folk

Some answers I’m sure you will find

 

God had a great litter of children on Whirn

The best and the strongest he’d made

The greatest among them, a creature called Glrr

Made all humankind be afraid

 

The mountainous worm was a force to behold

He invented the concept of sin

And finally one day, a Tuesday I’m told,

Glrr ravaged a town with a grin

 

He subjected them to a fate worse than death

Too terrible to sing aloud

Then God gave them pity with unsteady breath,

Of Glrr he was no longer proud

 

God readied a rock from the heavens to smite

Upon he whose wrath was immense

And with a great pillar of heavenly light

Your God missed; Glrr vanishéd thence
