The next morning, with needle and ink of deep blue,
Her friend Fox gave the Troll one more goat’s-head tattoo.

“My dear Billy Goats Gruff,” called the Troll, “Can you float?
Do you fly? Can you swim? Did you bring your own boat?"

"Never knowing their big brother’s fate in this matter,
The two younger Gruff boys grew fatter and fatter..."

And the Troll wore a grin, as her bridge tumbled down,
Dropping Biggy Goat Gruff in the river to drown.

“I have come,” Biggy rapped, “for your bridge and your river.
This message my brothers were meant to deliver.
I’ll butt you, and beat you, and bite you in half.”
But to Biggy’s amazement, he heard the Troll laugh.

When Great-Auntie McPig was brought forward for sentence,
The judge sighed: “Ten years for such beastly betrayal!
And always remember, while seeking repentance,
Beware of a Wolf with a twist in the tail.”

Now the Wolf poured a whisky and toasted poor Hilda,
“To one last request, one last drink, one last meal!”
After drinking his whisky, dear reader, he killed her,
And, lighting the grill, toasted Hilda for real.

“It’s too strong!” wheezed the Wolf, with a baffling look,
Then his whisky-stained teeth formed the thinnest of smiles,
As he took out a rope and a grappling hook,
Which he whirled and he hurled so it gripped the roof’s tiles.

The Wolf took a sledgehammer out of his case,
Which he swung at the house like a furry fanatic,
He hammered the bricks until red in the face,
And he huffed and he puffed (for the Wolf was asthmatic!).

His neck was wrapped up in a leopard-skin scarf,
And his whiskers were stained with a blueberry stain.
Of the postman, he asked, with a whiskey-fumed laugh,
“Can you point me to Higgledy-Piggledy Lane?”

Bessy tried to escape, but stuck fast in her chair,
And the Wolf thought out loud: “This is sure to get messy!”
Then, fixing the pig with a terrible stare,
Made a horrible mess… and that mess was poor Bessy.

After thinking out loud, “I will first marinade her!”
With huff and with puff, the Wolf blew the house down,
Then with jaggedy teeth he tore into poor Ada,
'Til nothing remained but her leopard-skin gown.

“What a sight!” drooled the gent, “I believe I smell bacon,
You look like a pig who’d taste good in a stew!”
“You’re the Wolf,” Ada squealed, “If I’m not much mistaken,
Great-Auntie McPig warned me all about you!”

“What about your new house? You can’t build it from chips!”
Squealed her sisters, “You’re really the greediest of pigs!”
“Don’t you fret!” Bessy belched, loudly licking her lips.
“I’ll go back to the woods, where I’ll build it from twigs!”

At the first stall, the eldest pig, Ada, jumped down,
"I am rich," she declared, "I can buy what I choose!"
And she spent her gold coin on a leopard-print gown,
A fur coat, a silk hat and a pair of red shoes.

"He has wire-wool whiskers and jaggedy teeth,
And his snout is curled up in a snarl and a sneer.
His right eye has a raggedy scar underneath
That is shaped like a star, and he's missing one ear."
