A Goblin's Psychotic Break with slop

A goblin lullaby—if you can call it that—repeats the word for slop seven times before falling silent. Goblin infants apparently find this soothing.

The goblin method for understanding slop involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to slop among the goblin community.
