A Giant was, I should premise,
A hulking lout of monstrous size;
He mostly stood—I know you 'll laugh—
About as high as a giraffe.
His waist was some three yards in girth:
When he walked he shook the earth.
His eyes were of the class called "goggle,"
Fitter for the scowl than ogle.
His mouth, decidedly carnivorous,
Like a shark's,—the Saints deliver us!
He yawned like a huge sarcophagus,
For he was an Anthropophagus,
