The Giant's Justice

Fee-fi-fo-fum!

Jack’s not really the sharpest tool in the shed,

So while he’s busy swiping gold coins and rum,

The giant’s thinking about stuffing his corpse in a riverbed.

He decides to leave the young boy alone for now,

Knowing that Jack would try his luck a second time,

And when the boy returns to snag his goose somehow,

The giant catches him committing the crime.

He grasps the tiny thief in his hand,

Eager to throw him back down the beanstalk,

Ignoring the option of having him remanded,

And securing his death while making sure the villagers gawk.

However, he decides to turn Jack over to the hag in candy covered cottage,

Where he knows Jack will be used to his full potential,

So in he goes with Hansel and Gretel to cook some pottage,

Making the hag’s long-awaited meal truly quintessential.
