Should You Need Us

Teenage Sarah couldn’t stand her baby brother Toby.
She made a wish that caught the ears of creatures quite unholy.
The moment that she realized it, she tried to take it back.
The Goblin King was not inclined to cut a lot of slack.
He gave her thirteen hours to traverse his magic maze,
Lest Toby be a goblin the remainder of his days.
If Sarah had to work alone, she probably would fail,
But several local residents did help her on her trail.
The dwarflike man named Hoggle hardly dared stick out his neck,
Until the thought of friendship kept his cowardice in check.
The hairy giant Ludo brought not only massive brawn;
He called and summoned boulders that were safe for walking on.
Sir Didymus the vulpine left his guard post in the bog.
More comical than useful, still he charged upon a dog.
The king set traps and sped up time, yet Sarah came to be
In front of him and said, “You have no power over me.”
Her quest complete, she found herself and Toby back at home,
But friends retained connections so she needn’t be alone.
