Where men are like giants tall,
where people like bugs are small!

The travel was long and tough,
and being frank he was feeling rough!

By the time they reached the shore,
even breathing felt a chore!

Against the traitor's guards they would fail,
and they would promise to put them in jail!

But Vincenzo was smart and slick,
an escape he would make very quick!

To the traitor's palace he would sneak,
through every window he would peek!

Though he had been taken from his herd,
he would still show him what he deserved!

Climbing in he made a plan!
He would hit him with a pan!
