Wow!--this poem really garnered you some attention.
You realize, of course, that you are a desperately ill and scary woman. Except for an oyster shell, the ogre's diet would have gagged a starving goat. And, ironically, it is the much-easier-to-contemplate oyster shell that actually does him in. Brilliant.
A fascinating poetic fairy tale, Judy--a little weird, a little frightening and a lot wonderful.
This, Judy, was highly entertaining....and so well done
Little Dr. Seuss - ish but unique and so much fun...
Could easily be an illustrated book (perhaps ages 7 to adult) :)
I absolutely loved it. First time, I think, I've ever seen the word "a" rhymed ...

I love getting caught up in the little worlds you create!
This is way cute!
I love the rhythm created him - it's so consistent, but avoids becoming stagnant, because of the constant flow of intriguing things being read, there to balance it.
My Dear Writing Friend Judy,
This poem brought a smile to my face and then an even bigger smile with its surprise ending. As an ogre in folklore was a man-eating giant or a cruel and terrifying person, I found your clever end to the Ogre Trullet by an oyster shell a very unique way to end this feasting bully. An excellent read that stirs the imagination of the reader, well done.
I have to say I love this.. I loved the fairies buttered on rolls.. not funny and yet I was smiling.. A symbolic write to life as is in this moment...xx Those troublesome oysters...ahh.. Wonderful Judy..xx
