Barrow Downers ain't no frowners; we comes to do the Clerihew
 

Sam Gamgee
Had quite a family
and The Shire would be rotten
if Rosie didn't to him cotton.


Gollem
was ever so solemn
Would the story ring differently
if he had a taste for comedy?


How to do Clerihew

Fun!

And especially for us non-English speakers! At last rhymes that are meant to be cranky in the first place! :D


Túrin, son of Húrin
befriended with a kinsman of Durin.
But who would have ever made the wager,
that all he would do was to act like a teenager?

(yep, I just finished the CoH)

Elrond Peredhil
Is in a quandary still
Whenever he committed a gaffe
He got scolded by his better half

Excellent clerihews, Nogrod and Morthoron. You've provided unexpected little twists about your characters and have considerably raised the bar. (Of course, if we were doing the limbo, that would help me alot. :D ;) )

Frodo,
He's no dodo:
When he sees danger ride--
He hides!

Aragorn,
Often the subject of scorn,
Was nicer than was told:
Not quite shiny, but still gold.

Tuor and Turin
Were the sons of Huor and Hurin:
One found Elvish wedded bliss,
The other got a blind date with his sis.

Eowyn,
Fair and thin,
Caused a story-bender
With her gender!

Folco
Didn't go.
Was he afeard?
From the book he disappeared.

Tom Bombadil
-masterful of tree and hill-
Puts on the Ring
And lo! You cannot see the thing!

Imrahil of Dol Amroth
Protected the guard of Osgiliath;
Rescued Faramir, saved Eowyn, Aragorn first did see--
But for all that he did not warrant a part in any movie.

Desperately rode Radagast,
And finally caught Gandalf at last;
But he was beguiled by cunning words,
So all his efforts were for the birds.

Hear the story of Angmar's nasty Witch King:
An evil git enslaved by a ring,
He terrorized the human race
'Til a chick ran a knife through his face.

:cool:

Ah! I'm away for a day and the thread moves with wit and speed. Good to see people having fun. Perhaps I should be away more often? ;)

Ruling firmly, Théoden King
denied a girl her fling.
Then like a monarch was not nonplussed
when beneath his mount he was crushed.

Dear and sensible Fatty Bolger,
posed as Crickhollow's newest lodger.
Of walking he'd have none,
but soon found he'd rather run.

Poor Old Eol!
Deprived of his last meal!
But King Turgon's verdict you may recall,
Left no time for dining careening off the wall.

Bilbo, when lost with a ring in a cave
Was subject to danger most grave
From a creature called Smeagol.
Next thing you know, "Look! An Eagle!"

Treebeard
Is afeard,
Not of wizard's ire,
Just fire.

Poor Elmo!
Where did you go?
Never heard from you, not even a tweet,
Did you end up in Sesame Street?

Beleg said of Turambar,
"There are none as narrow-minded as you are."
But Turin merely pointed to Mim
And said, "Nay, I am not as petty as him."

great thread!
 

Eomer, a brave Rider, Third Marshal of the Mark
With Theoden brought light to Minas Tirith when 'twas dark.
At times he may get a little violent,
But he never keeps his thoughts silent.

one more:
 

Pippin
Went a-fishin'
To the rod he didn't attach the hook -
People yell, "Fool of a Took!"

Of Sauron, The Lord of Dark:
Hear this information. Hark!
He used his armies to commit atrocities beyond description,
But at least embraced equal opportunity conscription.

Eowyn
Slayed efficiently by being a woman.
Rejected by Aragorn, feeling blue,
She looked at Faramir and said, "You'll do."

Boromir:
I hear
The Horn of Gondor when it gets blown.
Is that the moan of the instrument? Or your own?

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D


Merry of the Brandybucks
Said to Pippin, "Shucks!
Do we have to follow Frodo?
He's a) fat, and b) a dodo!"

Galadriel
Doesn't go along very well
With time-management. To be clearer,
She spends the day looking in her mirror.

Frodo,
Where'd your finger go?
Ah! Inside of Gollum, beneath the plume
Within the fires of Mount Doom.

Gollum's dentist
Made of medicines a checklist:
Smeagol is in a tight fix,
His teeth are only six!

Maedhros, Maglor, Celegorm, Caranthir, Curufin, Amras in Amrod
Contrived to be born to a mother still slim as a ramrod.
Amras, Celegorm, Caranthir, Curufin, and old and young redheads
In disarranged order went down a succession of deadheads.

Amazing to see this old thread come up for some fresh air. Good ones, all!

Galadriel's phial
gave a smile
to Frodo
where the sun don't go.


Celeborn
was quite forlorn
when to the West
sailed half his best.

Eol went to find his wife,
But instead he lost his life.
No one went down the mountian-side
To scrape off the rocks Eol's insides.

Osse wrecked the ships all night,
Amusing himself until it was light,
Because Uinen came at dawn
And said, "Honey, do calm down!"



Legolas
Said, "Alas!
I have competition. I would
That there was no Robin Hood!"

Frodo kept the Ring
nd thought that no one knew about the thing.
Merry had to prove him wrong -
For a long time he knew all along!

Arwen was changed by Peter Jackson
Into an Elvish woman of action
Like some gladiator bred for an arena
Thus the Half-Elf warrior princess Xena.

Since I'm already Clerihewing the films, I'll add this one that I posted on another thread concerning The Hobbit movie. God knows if I'll remember where it is a year from now...

Of the dubious character Itaril,
Some may call her a bitter pill;
Yet along came Saoirse Ronan
To play this Elfess Conan.

Arwen Undomiel,
You are the granddaughter of Galadriel,
And now thou darest
Argue about who is the fairest!
