The Hobbit or There and Back Again
by J.R.R. Tolkien
by J.R.R. Tolkien
Hear here a tale of yore
Of Hobbit's unlikely adventure
Through a Wizard's wit and guile
Ventured he out of Hole and Hill
Off to the Misty Mountain wild!
Off to the Rivers long and wide!
Off to the Forest dark and deep!
All for the treasures that dwarves seek.
Oh the paths with dangers fraught
Trolls and wolves that need be fought
Spiders weave their nasty work
And goblins all in darkness lurk
Off to the Misty Mountain wild!
Off to the Rivers long and wide!
Off to the Forest dark and deep!
All for the treasures that dwarves seek.
But for courage, wit and ring
Will all perish, death will claim
Save for friendship, kinship true
Darkness Light will not subdue
Off to the Lonely Mountain far
Ruled by the Dragon Smaug in fear
When high and low the journey won
The Hobbit-- There and back again!

Monique, that's all that matters. :)K.D., thanks. *Makes a dwarfish bow*
Kwesi, I can lend you my copy next meet up.
You are the man, as our rhymes suckOur attempts to poesy puts you in shock
On your left and on your right
Every day and every night
We shall worship and admire you, Emir sire
Lesser mortals that we are, in this literary mire
Thy air, Jose, recalls to mindThe wizard wily, wise, sublime
And lest there'll be no end to to this
Unto thy heap I'll put all praise!
'Twas his mother who said he's a poet laureateThat was at the time he was taking his baccalaureate
But he humbly says he's a poet manque or a poetaster
He in fact burned his early works in an oven toaster
To his chess friends he's a pawnographer of words
Who likes to mumble poems as he plays the boards
The rhythm of the words gives him erection unending
Suited to his unique lovemaking style, patent pending
