The Tale of Groz

By Alexis Gibbs

Once upon a time there was

A very little girl called Groz. 

She wasn't more than eight years old

But oh, the stories she had told!

Her tales came from a tribe called Fry,

Their books could make a grown man cry.

But tribal life was not for her

So she set out for the town of Skur.

In Skur there were so many people

That unless you stood atop a steeple

And shouted to the crowd below

“Hello! I’ve got books on show!”

No one would glance at you twice

Preferring instead to watch some mice.

But Groz was really quite ambitious

She ran through Main Street, looking vicious

‘Til everybody stopped and stared

And with them she began to share…

Stories of a time of war

Stories made when she was bored 

Tales shared around campfires

Tales of brave dragon riders

Unicorns and nymphs alike

Despairing maidens’ knightly strife

Battles to be won and lost

Chatting ladies’ goss and gloss

Whatever there was to be told

To the crowd Groz would tell all.

Groz was dubbed the Story Queen

And made a Kid Celebrity.

And all those watching home in Fry

Knew that it was Groz’s time!
