Free Bregg The Poet!

O Bregg the Poet of Labyrinth
Where do you reside?
I would like to visit you
My mentor and my guide.
The Goblin that I most admire
Whose verse I do extol!
I’ve read your works from front to back
For I’m a BiblioTroll.
Wretched and conflicted friend
I’m saddened by your plight
That your alter ego
Gives other goblins fright.
O poet of the darkened-heart
This evil Fitch must cease
To possess your better self
Your soul he must release!
Perhaps an exorcism,
Or a witch’s brew
Could kill the sickening stench
That haunts you through-and-through
Could you eat a sweeter root?
Or scrumptious garlic clove?
Or yummy little ratty-rats
Best cooked on a stove.
There’s certainly more wholesome food
Than gruesome, stinky Yeurrrrrrch!
Have you tried a toadstool mush
With moldy bark of birch!?
May I suggest a beverage
Of blended fairy-ade
Mix twenty with ten rabbit eyes
No better drink was made!
Together, we might find some Twarks
Their little eggs we’ll chew
But if that remains impossible
I’ll make salamander stew.
If readers could get close to you
We’d form a poets’ ring!
And learn from the great master
If you lost that putrid THING!
