The Giant Leprechaun

Durby was a giant,

As tall as he could be.

He should have been quite short because

A leprechaun was he.

All other leprechauns his age

Laughed at him and sneered.

“You’re huge!” they shouted towards his head.

“You’re hairy and you’re weird!”

Until one day the gnomes attacked

And stole the pot of gold.

The leprechauns were all upset-

The young ones and the old.

Except the mighty Durby,

Who took up a magic horn

And waded deep into the woods.

“I’ll rescue the gold,” he’d sworn.

After eighty days and nights,

He came upon the gnomes.

He tooted on the magic horn,

And the gnomes turned into stones.

Durby found the pot of gold

And returned it to its home.

Now he is greatly loved and named,

Durby the Bane of Gnomes.
