19An example of a Quatrain Poem The Sleepy Giant My
age is three hundred and seventy-twoAnd I think,
with the deepest regret,How I used to pick up
and voraciously chewThe dear little boys whom I
met.
20Ive eaten them raw, in their holiday suitsIve
eaten them curried with riceIve eaten them
baked, in their jackets and boots,And found them
exceedingly nice. But now that my jaws are too
weak for such fare,I think it exceedingly
rudeto do such a thing, when Im quite well
awareLittle boys do not like to be chewed.
21And so I contentedly live upon eels,And try to
do nothing amiss,And I pass all the time I can
spare from my mealsIn innocent slumber like
this.

I wonder what you are? A Up above the world
so bright BLike a diamond in the night
