Beware the Picnic Troll!

When you go out for a picnic, you expect a pleasant day
But a freakish beast awaits you with a toll you have to pay
He’s only got one question, and he’s not afraid to ask it
He’ll look up with a goofy grin and say “what’s in that basket?”
If you packed a box of goodies, best be sure that you are able
To share a proper portion when you sit down at his table

wild-eyed dog hides under picnic table.
Do I smell chicken salad?! (Reddit)

    I would absolutely pack an extra basket for this troll.

    NTMTOM *always* gets the win during National Poetry Month! Delightful basket of madness here.

      “Delightful basket of madness” is such a perfect description of this site…

    Those eyes! That tongue! Epic.

    that tongue is out of control.

    Needs its own picnic basket.

    Really DOES look like a troll, but incredibly happy!

    I was half expecting a bear, yet I was not disappointed.

    Great poetry NTMTOM. That troll is far cuter than the fairy tale ones. I’d pack treats and water in a basket for this hungry and thirsty doggie.

      I bet his tongue gets dry…

    I don’t a pic-a-nic basket but will spaghetti with homemade meat sauce suffice?

    Must be from the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. (You know, from under the Mackinaw Bridge)! <3
