The Queen of Giantesses
The Queen of Giantesses, or The Giantess Queen, Composed by Richard Handley Thomas, Kidsgrove, November 1885.
T-his wonderful child, amongst great Giantesses
H-ath outgrown her sex from the day of her birth.
E-very hour of her life, her whole substance increases
Q-uite ample to prove her the greatest on earth:
U-nfed by rich diets, yet healthy and blooming,
E-ach day she subsists on the plainest of food,
E-njoying the plainest of meal she's consuming,
N-or does she to luxuries ever allude.
O-f all the great wonders of nature no other
F-rom all the great nations, from mountain to vale,
G-ives such a real honour to father and mother
I-n height weight and beauty as young Hannah Dale.
A-nd as to her cheerful and fresh-coloured features,
N-oble-formed head with her silky waved hair,
T-here is not such another amongst human creatures,
E-ven Royal descendents must fail to compare.
S-he's so unassuming and void of pretensions,
S-o happy in mind, and remarkably clean.
E-ach day she improves her enormous dimensions
S-ufficient to crown her the Giantess Queen.
