“It would not have been enough to just bring any girl along.

We are more than legal servants, who decide the right and wrong.

You’re the special one I’ve waited for, and all that we’ve been doing

Reinvigorates the happiness, that I’ve spent years pursuing.

I’m so happy I could bring you here and show you my town too.

I’m so totally completely in the deepest love with you.”

Then they kissed amidst the city lights, away from giant castles.

She was at his house on Christmas day to open gift wrapped parcels.

In the latter part of January, four giants did reduce,

Came to Bryce’s house at midnight, for a feast, and orange juice.

In the gardens of his mansion, with no music to awaken

Any neighbours, lots of kissing scenes were slowly undertaken:

Alicindra with her husband Stawmi, Judge and husband Bryce,

Ambloome with her husband Lee-John, and the two who’d not seen rice

Thrown yet (Jenyfer and Krees) enjoyed the night, while folks were sleeping.

They were not aware a 13 year old boy had started peeping.

Scout was next door, living with grandparents, and snuck out at night,

In the holidays this once, because the moon was extra bright.

He made use of bushes bordering, where there were still no fences

From his property to Bryce’s, and could not believe his senses.

When a garden light globe broke, and Bryce came back with one so new,

To prevent the need for ladders, Ambloome took a chance and grew

Just enough to reach the second story outside wall’s lamp socket,

Holding Bryce, who changed the globes and put the old one in his pocket.

As he saw her shrinking back to earthling size, the boy was shocked.

Then he bumped a garden ornament, and once it had been knocked,

It fell over with a crash, and all eight adults were alerted

To his presence, and the implications couldn’t just be skirted.

He had seen their secret power. Ambloome filled the youngster in

On the fact that they were giants, who in time could all begin

To reduce themselves and visit earth. Scout wasn’t educated

Of the days of many amulets, when giants came and dated.

She decided he could have one, and a place in Lily-foot

As his second home. He promised they had not unwisely put

Any trust in him. They even let him use the early morning

That remained to party with them, just before the next day dawning.

He’d been orphaned far too late to be among the first main wave

Of the orphans who would take the chance to move that Ambloome gave,

When the colonies were built for Shangri-Large and other cities,

Like Newtopia and Lily-foot by both worlds’ old committees.

He snuck back inside, so glad that he had found a secret group,

Who’d accepted him and shared their secrets and their chicken soup.

He could go to their world any time, which would be so exciting.

Ambloome trusted him to tell no one, and he would do the right thing.
