High fells

A man with sensible walking boots
Is striding across the high fells
In Cumbria.

Walking towards him
Along the path
Is a grey mountain troll.

As they pass, the troll says:
"How do you know
That I am a grey mountain troll?"

"Because these mountains are grey
And you have a disagreeable
Troll-like physiognomy," says the man.

Ten years later
The man recalls a curious detail.

The mountain troll was carrying
A bright orange Gucci handbag.
