Jenny Greenteeth


Jenny Greenteeth
Colour pencil, 593 mm x 840 mm, 2016
The fourth piece in the collection Rumpusbased on Blackgang Chine attractions.


A wondrous being, so legend told
Took lake and river for her home 
Whence nature flocked to celebrate
Her awesome beauty, charm and grace

Within her wake lies another fate
For unwary human fools 
Who’d take the chance to dip 
Into a cooling, calm, clear pool

For lurking ‘twixt bulrush and reed 
Fruits grinning, gruesome Jenny Greenteeth
Ready to greet with a cackling laugh
Any who stray within her path
