Those Dam Trolls

 

Hard vulcanized rubber imaginatively winced 

   with Cheshire cat grin evoking y'haul

as a boy, the toy troll 

illusory virtuous vibrancy of cloned compact mere inches tall 

come back now - so ike kin save er yar soul

which invisible essence smaller than a cube bah roll

n against friction, thence haltingly lurching frisson marking up Paul
vaulting on par with a marvel super man comic con creation with opal

s scent eyes piercing silence of the lambs with ventriloquist caterwaul 

such favorite indestructible hard core Thomas Dam carved bare all
   crude cream-colored Hottentot like hobbits appeared to extol
therefore experienced little injury when infrequently prone to fall
this innocent pudgy pint size inhabitants from some island country atoll

with their long frizzy horsehair appeared droll

that could be wrapped round their little plump body akin to a boll

Weevil scrunched into a dense hardened roll
parodied an asymmetric ball guaranteed not to bounce for self-protection 

   against being stomped on by a giant doll
where British bobby beastie boys ganged up 

   and arrested the life size costumed catchpoll

the protagonist in a rather scary fairy tale 

   (amidst where the wild things throve) 

   conjured as a pump per nickel back stabbing moll 

 donned as a trumpeting mole hiding out of sight under a bridge 
   ready to pounce billy goat gruff demanding gate toll
amp pull fee to purchase without resistance from volt a mort erbol

elixir to serve as a tonic, salve or cure all albeit universal.
