Ole Grassy Bill On a green grassy knoll on the top of a hill Lived a wee little elf known as Ole Grassy Bill One day a young lady climbed up to the knoll And asked Grassy Bill for some help with a troll It seems this foul creature was lurking quite near And filling the town folks with all kinds of fear The troll was quite awful the young lady said And it had a great horn on the top of its head As people passed by on the roadway each day The troll would jump out and take each one away He took them down deep in a dark lonely hole And made them dig daily for buckets of coal The young lady promised Ole Bill she would pay A bagful of gold for his service that day Ole Bill did agree to get rid of the troll In exchange for the pay of the young lady’s toll And Ole Grassy Bill was as good as his word No more from the troll was again ever heard When his work was all done, Ole Bill went to get paid But the woman refused him the deal they had made In anger Ole Bill turned the woman to ice For failing to pay the agreed upon price So learn from this story my friend if you will To avoid being cold pay your G’assy Bill |

Lol. What sense of humour you have. We're coming into summer but I'll still be paying my gas bill for seasons to come, based on the strength of your words. Nice storytelling in rhyme too. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
