Trollabout

Trollabout

He, who searches for evil, must first look at his
own reflection.”--Confucious.

Hugo was a giant mountain troll; could not fit
in a doorway. He came to town to see the
TROLLS movie. He went home with only a new
DVD.

There is a troll at
the White House, who has fondness
for flesh and evil.

There is a big troll there... with frogs spawning from his mouth

The troll in the white house does sort of look like that illustration.

It's too bad Hugo didn't get to see the movie, but he can watch the DVD over and over again.

One troll with restraint, one troll without. Troll is perfect descriptor for the twitterer.

A great take on the Troll prompt! Seems trolls come in all shapes and sizes!

Hurrah! A pox on the twittering troll!

Haha!❤️ This is incredibly witty, powerful and brilliant all at the same time, Glenn! I wonder if there is any chance the troll can get impeached? Kudos ❤️

I like the Confucius saying - someone should send it to the White House.

Oh dear, another Glenn Trump poem. He seems to be your cute red-headed muse. I love the Confucius post -- perhaps you ought to send it to the Chinese communist party of trolls -- did you hear that though Mao tried to rid China of superstitious religions, modern China has turned about and, realizing that religion is indomitable, has made Confucianism the official spokesman for the party's propaganda machine. And then silly American Universities, sucked up Chinese money opening "Confucian Institutes" to further their political objectives. But Rubio, a Republican, served notice to oust these trolls. See Time Magazine (among others) on that. Religion, Confucian or others, can be used powerfully to manipulate. Thought you may enjoy.
