Here:

Mighty Among Elves, yet empty of mirth,
After his death, never returned he to Middle Earth,

On my butt, I think. <img src=laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

OK.

Strong with an axe I am,
Scored someone higher than one,
And yet had fun,
Because I saw those places deep,
That the memory of I wish I could keep. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

I'm a wussy little elf,
In Rivendell I keep myself,
I have an Aunt, she's pretty strong,
Her husband's a wuss, though, all along.
Until my controlling Aunt left Middle Earth,
Then he had a lot of fun and mirth.

i showed to him felegunds ring
i vowed to him the silmaril
for the daughter of idril
i took it from the dark lords crown
now it is in a terrible hound

Yes!


Gold was my hair, no flowers grew there,
When my sword was bare, balrogs beware!
When they drove us from our secret place,
We made away with haste, to another place.
But alas! We were assailed, but I did not fail,
Both of us fell after we fought, pell-mell.
But back I came, and am here again,
To ask you what be my name?

I held elves, but not first,
protected by magic for many ages of man,
crafted by Naugrim, and also destroyed by the same,
Steeped in sadness of Maia, Man, Dwarf, and Elf,
Would you like to call me home?
You cannot for I am but a memory of former days.
