Two pages from Shrinklits by Maurice Sagoff, condensing Beowulf: Monster Grendel's tastes are plainish. Breakfast? Just a couple Danish. King of Danes is frantic, very. Wait! Here comes the Malmö ferry Bringing Beowulf, his neighbor, Mighty swinger with a saber! Hrothgar's warriors hail the Swede, Knocking back a lot of mead; Then, when night engulfs the Hall And the Monster makes his call, Beowulf, with body-slam Wrenches off his arm, Shazam! Monster's mother finds him slain, Grabs and eats another Dane! Down her lair our hero jumps, Gives old Grendel's dam her lumps. Later on, as king of Geats He performed prodigious feats Till he met a foe too tough (Non-Beodegradable stuff) And that scaly-armored dragon Scooped him up and fixed his wagon. Sorrow-stricken, half the nation Flocked to Beowulf's cremation; Round his pyre, with drums a-muffle Did a Nordic soft-shoe shuffle.
