Hey guys! I just found an old poem I wrote a couple years ago in English class! We were studying fantasy and I had to write a poem about what would happen if you lived with a giant. I found this task so fun and I really love this poem! I hope you like it too! :)

p.s. this one is copyrighted! thanks (:


If a giant comes through the town that you dwell

You may have some problems you won't find so swell.

Problems may be if it's angry or roused

But the big issue is if it lives in your house!


The first of these problems is surely the door.

Give him space so he won't have to crawl on the floor!

Then build the roof higher or simply get rid of it.

It's going to be hard and you'll have to get used to it.


Mainly, you need to enlarge everything,

Even the small things, like needles and string.

A much bigger toilet, (and huge toilet rolls).

As well as the cutlery, plates and the bowls.


You'll need much more water, and more food to eat.

Could be a problem - they eat human meat!

Necessities like a large bed and bedroom.

Larger print books and five mirrors to groom.


When hosting a giant, it will get expensive.

Suggesting employment, though, may sound offensive.

Plus your employer won't give you a raise.

Because you've been "minding a giant" for days.


On top of all this, your name is at stake.

Apology notes to the neighbours you'll make.

Don't host an event or you're sure to regret it,

And friends coming over for dinner - forget it!


You'll have to make peace with a few of their habits...

The snoring! The stench!! The snacking on rabbits!!!

A likelihood always to smash everything.

Mostly by accident.... occasionally on purpose.
