Tooth-Butter

The troll from Kebnekaise felt besides himself
Hungry and outdated he loved a pretty elf
He ate a knob of butter and drank from river water
“It helps control your feelings,” said his eldest daughter
He looked down in the river and saw a giant whale
What river mirror showed him, was not a fairy tale.

“So thick my body looks, the butter has changed to fat
A stomach like a whale will women notice that?
Now I will turn the pot not listen to my daughter
And use my own advice: Stop looking down the water.”
