Ogre

An ogre is a creature of lore
With a hunger for flesh and gore
He is large and ugly, like a man
But with teeth and claws that can

Tear apart his prey with ease
And make him feel a wicked glee
Some say he lives in caves or woods
And hunts for children, as he should

He likes to roast them on a spit
Or boil them in a cauldron fit
For such a monstrous appetite
That never seems to be satisfied

But not all ogres are the same
Some have a heart, and even a name
Like Shrek, the hero of a tale
Who saved a princess from a jail

And fell in love with her, despite
Their different looks and ways of life
So ogres are not always bad
Some can be funny, or even sad

They have their stories, and their dreams
They are not as simple as they seem
They are more than just a scary sight
They are ogres, and they have a right.

An ogre is a fantasy creature that is usually depicted as a large, hideous, man-like being that eats ordinary human beings, especially infants and children.
Ogres frequently feature in mythology, folklore, and fiction throughout the world.
They appear in many classic works of literature, and are most often associated in fairy tales and legend with a taste for infants.

Some common characteristics of ogres are:

• They have a disproportionately large head, abundant hair, unusually colored skin, a voracious appetite, and a strong body.
• They are often inhumanly large and tall, sometimes reaching the size of giants.
• They are usually very stupid, cruel, and greedy.
• They live in isolated places, such as caves, forests, mountains, or swamps.
• They may have horns, tusks, claws, scales, or other monstrous features.

Some famous examples of ogres in fiction are:

• The ogre in "Puss in Boots" who can transform into various animals.
• The ogre in "Hop-o'-My-Thumb" who tries to eat seven children but is outwitted by them.
• The title character from "Shrek" who is an ogre with a heart of gold.
• The oni of Japanese folklore who are ogre-like demons with red or blue skin and horns.

Here is a funny joke to make you laugh: Q: What do you call an ogre who likes to dance? A: A boogie monster!
