  19. An example of a Quatrain Poem The Sleepy Giant My age is three hundred and seventy-twoAnd I think, with the deepest regret,How I used to pick up and voraciously chewThe dear little boys whom I met.

  20. I’ve eaten them raw, in their holiday suits;I’ve eaten them curried with rice;I’ve eaten them baked, in their jackets and boots,And found them exceedingly nice. But now that my jaws are too weak for such fare,I think it exceedingly rudeto do such a thing, when I’m quite well awareLittle boys do not like to be chewed.

  21. And so I contentedly live upon eels,And try to do nothing amiss,And I pass all the time I can spare from my mealsIn innocent slumber– like this.
