From J.R.R. Tolkien:

"A Troll sat alone on his seat of stone,
And munched and mumbled a bare old bone;
For many a year he had gnawed it near,
For meat was hard to come by.
Some by! Gum by!
In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone,
And meat was hard to come by.

Up came John with his big boots on.
Said he to Troll: 'Pray, what is yon?
For it looks like the shin o' my nuncle Jim,
As should be a-lyin' in graveyard.
Caveyard! Paveyard!
This many a year has Jim been gone,
And I thought he were lyin' in graveyard.'

'My lad,' said Troll, 'this bone I stole.
But what be bones that lie in a hole?
Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead,
Afore I found his carcas.
Arkey! Markey!
He can spare a bone for a poor old troll,
For he got no use for his carcas.'

Said John: 'I don't see why the likes o' thee
Without axin' leave should go makin' free
With the leg of the shin o' my father's kin;
So hand the old bone over!
Rover! Trover!
Though dead he be, it belongs to he;
So hand the old bone over!'

'For a couple o' pins,' says Troll, and grins,
'I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins.
A bit o' fresh meat will go down sweet!
It'll be a nice change then yer nuncle
Sunkle! Grunkle!
I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins;
It'll be a nice change then yer nuncle.


But just as he thought his dinner was caught,
He found his hands had hold of naught.
Before he could mind, John slipped behind
And gave him the boot to larn him.
Warn him! Darn him!
A bump o' the boot on the seat, John thought,
Would be the way to larn him.

But harder than stone is the flesh and bone
Of a troll that sits in the hills alone.
As well set your boot to the mountain's root,
For the seat of a troll don't feel it.
Deal it! Peel it!
Old Troll laughed, when John did groan,
For his poor toes did feel it.

Johns leg is game, since home he came,
And his bootless foot is lasting lame;
But Troll don't care, and he's still there
With the bone he boned from its owner.
Doner! Boner!
Troll's old seat is still the same,
And the bone he boned from its owner!"
