What could be more awful than an ogre named Awful? Awful Ogre is a proud and oversized addition to the literary canon. And about as explosive as a canon.
I am awful when it's sunny,
Snowy, cloudy, windy, rainy. I am awful, awful, awful Summer, winter, spring, and fall. “You are awful, Awful Ogre!” Roar the other awful ogres— I alone am Awful Ogre, And the awfulest of all. From the poem, “Awful Ogre Boasts a Bit” |

The illustration for the poem “Awful Ogre Boasts a Bit” in all of its expanse seemed a fitting subject for a repeating pattern, for use on a tablecloth or maybe cloth napkins. Paul created this pattern in Photoshop and posted it on the website Spoonflower.com in several different color variants.
