| Is it because I look different to you? Or is it because I'm not sweet? Is it because I've a ring through my nose? Or because I have hooves and not feet? Is it because of my long pointy horns? Or because of my big furry head? Is it because I wear skulls on my tail? Or because I have skin like the dead? |  Illustration © 2016 Jonny Duddle |

| A moody mardy Minotaur still walks the mountain way. Calumphing 'cross the corpses he encounters day by day. Don’t ask him why he does it - that’s a dangerous game to play. And many men have tried and failed (NOT lived to rue the day). |  Illustration © 2016 Jonny Duddle |
| Eddie Lark was a London Lad Who grew up with his Mum and Dad. But the Larks were poor and kids ‘aint cheap So they sold young Ed to the chimney sweep. The sweep was rough, the work was tough, Poor Ed had to do all the dirty stuff. |  Illustration © 2016 Jonny Duddle |
| Peer into my telescope. Look closely at those shapes. Can you believe it? I’ve just found… the Planet of the Apes! |  Illustration © 2016 Jonny Duddle |
When you said: Son, we don’t eat mortals.
Ever. It’s against the rules -
I disbelieved you, disrespected you,
now it seems I was the fool.
I didn’t understand, I didn’t know,
so I crunched on skulls and bones.
Mortal morsels were so tasty, I didn’t want to misplace any, waste any.
Now I want to go back home but I’m stuck here all alone
in a maze of ice and stone.
