The Giants and the Englishmen
Once upon a time
In a land much like ours
There lived giant men
Who dwarfed the tallest towers
They lived in the clouds
But they named it the ground
They then learned of a land below
Back when the clouds were low
They digged it up like hounds
And that's when the englishmen were found
Strange creatues
like them but tiny
With Miniature features
The english men spoke in a very strange manner
Yelling and screaming with no pause for banter
The giants then asked, "what be the matter"
They hid and they fled
Some under their bed
Others kept yelling "dead,dead,dead"
The giants were puzzeled by this behavior
And were honestly offended by their new neighbor
And while some were in the position of fetus
Others hollered "please don't eat us"
The idea had never crossed their mind
What rude creatures they have happened to find
They decided to never see them again
So they calmed down, counted to ten
And made up a poem right there and then
"FEE FI FO FEM
we smell the bood of english men
Let this be a warning to all who hear, we giants are to be feared
FEE FI FO FOU
dare not tresspass the clouds
Or we will eat you quicker than sound"
And with that the giants, upset,
Gathered their things and quickly left
They lifted the clouds 500 stories high
So that they would never meet another human eye
The giants lived in peace, the rhyme in mind
In case a human they happened to find
But never worried about human attack
For whom down below would be so wack
Or so they believed until thry heard of Jack
