=**Cormac and the little man**= By Sean D.

Cormac the noble, one of the greatest of men, It was quite ironic since he was born in Ireland. The saviors deed which will be told Shows how daring, how great, how bold. Character he had that good old man Cormac 5 However he had the face of a stepped on doormat.

Without a villain a hero cannot be grow, And his nemesis throughout Ireland and England was well known, Born out of fire redder than a drunk Englishman This creature breathed hot breath and ate most of the land. 10 Ten inches off the ground it stood They all saw it happen, but believe it, none of them could. For this was a man like no Irishman had ever seen He floated, breathed fire, and worst of all its appetite for potatoes was obscene. The potato the most important thing in the field, 15 They tried to bribe the little man but he would not yield.

So the poor must call upon the nobles they must, However there were far a few they could trust. In front of a great gathering of wealth they appealed, They expected great mockery but now it became real. 20 Then stood Cormac’s greatest noble of opposition, Arthur the English King beat down the Irish sons into submission. Outraged by Arthur’s tongue Cormac stood up to make a vow, Shouting at everyone else he said, I will stop this plight now!

He began at once this most noble man all alone, 25 Roaming the countryside he could not find the dwarf anywhere in his home. For days he traveled until his legs were no more, He lay in a field were he closed his eyes and started to snore.

Cormac awoke to a noise, a great giggle of glee, His back was turned a tiny man with his eyes did see. 30 Cormac gasped at the deformed and hideous sight, However he knew this was his chance to make everything right. Jumping to his feet toward the monster he trotted, He was not quiet enough and so he was spotted! The monster physical was not paralyzing, 35 But the noise that came its mouth was quite terrifying. Cormac with no fear raised both fists, The creature did not hesitate to blow him a kiss. The flames took Cormac’s left arm and left leg, He would never again run for the rest of his days. 40 Cormac laid on the ground quite dejected, Finally now, the monster Cormac respected.

The little thing can to stand over him and bring Cormac disgrace, When Cormac noticed a potato right near his only hand’s space. He heaved the potato, and with one mighty throw, 45 The potato landed sqaurly on the nasty things toe; It bounced up off the little gross feet, Up into the dwarfs neck where it took its seat The creatures eyes grew twenty sizes, It couldn’t breath fire to Cormac’s surprises. 50 And then in Cormac’s final heroic act, He swung his body around and hit the little man with a great smack!

Cormac arose on one leg, he knew he had his renown, The thing smaller and more ugly than him now laid dead on the ground. And so are hero lived for the rest of his days, 55 One half of himself but two times as great. And for Arthur’s harsh words that he did display, Cormac with his fame took Arthur’s wife the very next May. Peoples champion now he became, He had saved the potato the most important thing to his countrymen. 60
