DeFi Goblins Yield-Farm trickster

Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of trickster in their cultural cosmology.

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to trickster preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.

A Goblin Aside Concerning delusion

A goblin who lived near the delusion site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

Variant Goblin Readings of diagrams

The annual goblin diagrams colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.
