Oh, What Is That In The Hollow?

Oh what is that in the Hollow?
Oh my, It looks like a Fellow!
There is moss on his teeth,
And vines underneath,
And his skin is a terrible yellow.

By the twilight the forest is scary!
So we followed the track from the dairy.
Then we saw him below,
by the pale moon’s glow,
He was maybe done in by a Faerie?

(A slightly irreverent poem written by Doktor A, inspired by my favourite ever painting, Oh What is That in the Hollow by Edward Robert Hughes…)
