There was a troll who lived in a hole. A hole in a knoll. The troll demanded a toll. A toll from those who passed over the knoll. His goal was to buy another hole. Another hole in another knoll. A second knoll hole for a second knoll toll.

The troll took a stroll. The troll spoke with Mole, who also had a knoll. They spoke about a recent knoll real estate poll that showed a decline in knoll hole ownership. This was taking its toll.

While the local knoll authorities came and filled the troll knoll hole.

    I read this out loud and can’t stop laughing 😆

  • Hahahaha this was brilliant!

  • Not so much tongue- as mind-twister, leaving us in a state where either local knoll authorities will require the filling of this hole it's left behind in my cranium, or a troll I fear will take up residence.

  • Ha HA! Quite clever and fun to read!
