Middle Earth Nursery Rhymes
 
There was an old Wizard who traversed the land
with a crooked, blue hat and a staff in his hand.
A Hobbit he sought,an adventure to share.
Gold to recover when they got there.

There was an old Wizard who went to the Shire
He had 13 dwarves and they did conspire
He gave them a map, and with it a key.
And also a Hobbit who missed Morning Tea

LOL, Rae!! Got to think one of those up, myself!!

How many leagues to Orodruin?
Three score leagues and ten.
Can I get there by Phial-light?
Yes, if you travel cloaked by night
And keep your guide within your sight
You can get there by Phial-light.

Raefindel 04-10-2002 10:40 AM

That was great Kalimac! I know you guys would be good at this! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

All the Istari
Sat in their saris,
Eating their curds & whey.
When down came a Sauron,
(A bit of a moron)
And that did spoil their day.

Raefindel 04-10-2002 11:40 AM

I love it Stephanos! LOL!

Quenyachick 04-10-2002 12:15 PM

Hey Can i do a limerick?? I will neway!

There once was a mage called Olorin,
Who needed a pipe every mornin,
Of the finest pipe-weed,
He was ever in need,
Cos he found tobacco too borin!

Ok so not brill but hey! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Samwise 04-10-2002 04:06 PM

Ugh...been racking my brains, and this is the best I could come up with so far.

There was a hobbit couple who lived in a hole
they had lots of children, which didn't bother them at all.
She was a loving wife
he a gardner for hire
and all those children?
Why, they replenished the Shire.

"There was a lot more," said Sam, "all about Mordor. I didn't learn that part, it gave me the shivers. "

Raefindel 04-10-2002 04:15 PM

Very good Samwise and Quenyachic. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elenya 04-10-2002 04:28 PM

Sauron had a little ring, little ring, little ring
Sauron had a little ring, and it was made of gold.
He used the ring to scare the kids, scare the kids, scare the kids.
He used the ring to scare the kids, and so this tale was told.
A little hobbit found the rind, found the ring, found the ring
A little hobbit found the ring, and kept it in his cave.
Another hobbit came along, came along, came along
Another hobbit came along, and took the ring from him
He left the one ring to Frodo, to Frodo, to Frodo
He left the one ring to Frodo, and Gandalf got freaked out
He told Frodo to leave at once, leave at once, leave at once
He told Frodo to leave at once, and he took his pal Sam along
They came among two other friends, other friends, other friends
They came among two other friends, called Merry and Pippin
They saw a ringwraith on the path, on the path, on the path
They saw a ringwraith on the path, and they set out for th'old town Bree
Strider came upon them there, upon them there, upon them there
Strider came upon them there, and led them to Rivendell

Feel free to finish!

Kalimac 04-10-2002 08:24 PM

Replenishing the Shire, neat [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] . Hey, it's true - the Shire's population couldn't have been *that* big,

This is the Ring that Baggins stole.

This is heir, who inherited the Ring that Baggins stole.

This is the friend, who stayed by the heir, who inherited the Ring that Baggins stole.

This is the Stoor all shrunken and worn, who betrayed the friend, who stayed by the heir, who inherited the Ring that Baggins stole.

This is Eye all fiery with scorn, who tortured the Stoor all shrunken and worn, who betrayed the friend, who stood by heir, who inherited the Ring that Baggins stole.

This is King who looked in the Stone, who diverted the Eye all fiery with scorn, who tortured the Stoor all shrunken and worn, who betrayed the friend, who stood by the heir, who inherited the Ring that Baggins stole.

This is the Elf-maiden, fair and alone, who loved the King who looked in the Stone, who diverted the Eye all fiery with scorn, who tortured the Stoor all shrunken and worn, who betrayed the friend, who stood by the heir, who inherited the Ring that Baggins stole.

This is the Wizard, triumphant at morn, who joined the Elf-maiden, fair and alone, with the King who looked in the ancient Stone, who diverted the Eye all fiery with scorn, who tortured the Stoor all shrunken and worn, who betrayed the friend, who stood by the heir, who inherited the Ring that Baggins stole.

OK, not great, but there it is. Bet you didn't think I'd write the whole thing out, did you? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Raefindel 04-10-2002 08:45 PM

It was excellent, Kalimac! much better than mine! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Glorfindel's Lament

Ride an Elf horse to Bruinen Ford
to rescue a hobbit, you plucky Elf Lord!
'Gainst Ring Wraiths and Balrogs
You always will win,
but you blew the audition
and now you're ARWEN?

Raefindel 04-11-2002 09:22 PM

LOL! I LOVE IT!

Kalimac 04-11-2002 09:31 PM

That's wonderful, Birdland!! (Poor old Glorfindel...his name definitely lives on in song, but maybe not quite the way he'd pictured it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])

Poor little Smeagol
Murdered poor Deagol
Just for a chance at the Ring.
Thus he was foredone
And goodness did shun
And at last was destroyed by the thing.

Samwise 04-12-2002 03:33 PM

Thought up this one (as well as my last riddle)on the way home from the dr. this morning, what that says, I don't know, but here it is:
---------------------------------------------
Evil lord Sauron
has lost his Ring
and dosen't know where
to find it.
Leave it alone
and a hobbit will bring it home
and for the good of Middle-Earth
throw it in a fire pit!

Alchrivëwen 04-13-2002 11:17 AM

There once was a nasty hobbit
who was old and very mean,
She'd yell and complain,
all the live long day,
until she got Bilbo's key!

Lady_Báin 04-13-2002 04:35 PM

this is just a little note to say that you guys all had great ones keep it up they're hilarious [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] five grins up!

(okay I know that was oozing with sheese but what can I say I'm cheddar [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])

Lady_Báin 04-13-2002 04:37 PM

agggghhhhh cheese not sheese *pounds head on keyboard*

Elenya 04-16-2002 08:21 PM

Gollum was a hobbit
With a fetish for the Ring
He followed Sam and Frodo around
With hopes, of his precious, to cling
The lust was too much
He began to throw a fit
And finally got a hold on that thing
And fell into a pit!

I personally have nothing against Gollum, he's one of my favorites [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Hey Kalimac: Love the signature!

Nice job, Alchrivewen and Elenya. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elenya 04-17-2002 03:29 PM

Thanks muchas! I like yours too!

Samwise 04-19-2002 08:00 PM

Boromir! Come blow your horn!
There're Orcs in the farmlands
and they ain't there to steal corn!

"And after all, sir," added Sam, "you did ought to take the elves' advice. Gildor said you should take them as was willing, and you can't deny it. "

Great Job, Samwise & Birdland!
TY, Miss Rae! Hee--this is fun!

Sam stood by him, his round eyes wide open - for he was looking across lands he had never seen to a new horizon.

Auriel Haevasawen 04-25-2002 04:05 PM

Okay, despite the fact I mangle the English language daily for my work I am no poet so this has taken me ages and isn't that hot. Nevermind here goes:

Bye baby Halfling
Aragorn's gone a hunting
To fetch on orc or goblin skin
To wrap our little Hobbit in.

Actually that's quite gross. He could be done for Hobbit-abuse. Sorry I'll try a different tack.

Raefindel 04-25-2002 09:15 PM

OOOooohhh, that WAS gross, Auriel, but it was funny. Thanks for joining.

I'm not a good writer and had to really think about it before I posted one.

Where are you from? is English your primary language?

Auriel Haevasawen 04-27-2002 07:57 AM

Yes I am English. Although technically I am actually living in Middle Earth as I live near Sarehole, the original inspiration for the Shire. It is my primary language as you so beautifully put it but I also speak German, French, some Spanish and Gaelic. Sounds cool but wrecks your ability to spell. Now back to thinking up another rhyme.

Samwise 04-27-2002 10:30 AM

Quote:

Bye baby Halfling
Aragorn's gone a hunting
To fetch on orc or goblin skin
To wrap our little Hobbit in.
Here's a possible adaptation:

Bye baby Halfling
Bilbo once went a hunting
Brought back a little Mithril skin
To wrap an "Elven Princeling" in!
(Yeah, Mithril's not "skin", but this rhyme is what that made me think of...)
Quote:

"Gollum's doing, I'll be bound," said Sam to Frodo. "And a nice place to choose, too. The River seems set on taking us right into their arms! "

Raefindel 04-27-2002 02:32 PM

That was great Samwise! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Auriel Haevasawen 04-27-2002 03:24 PM

Brilliant and loads less gross than mine.

The Balrog Debate

Khazad-dûm is falling down, falling down, falling down
Khazad-dûm is falling down,
There goes Gandalf.

Crack the whip and spread your wings, spread your wings, spread your wings,
Crack the whip and spread your wings,
There goes Gandalf.

Silly twit, there are no wings, are no wings, are no wings,
Silly twit, there are no wings,
Those are merely shadows.

Read the book, you brainless moron, brainless moron, brainless moron,
Read the book you brainless moron,
It’s there in black and white.

Ever hear of metaphor, metaphor, metaphor?
Ever hear of metaphor?
Look it up in the HoME.

Metaphor? You HoME-ie snob, HoME-ie snob, HoME-ie snob,
Metaphor? HoME-ie snob,
Ever hear of re-writes?

HoME-ie snob? You illiterate wanker! illiterate wanker! illiterate wanker!
HoME-ie snob? You illiterate wanker!
Go read Roverandom!

Roverandom this, you pretentious as*****...

“Aunt Birdie, this is boring! Can’t we just sing the song and have fun?”

“Why certainly, dear. Big finish?“

“YEAH!”

“KHAZAD-DÛM IS FALLING DOWN, FALLING DOWN, FALLING DOWN,
KHAZAD-DÛM IS FALLING DOWN,
THERE GOES GANDALF!”

Kalimac 04-28-2002 10:11 PM

Birdland, ooh, that was vicious [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] . Which makes me think...

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To read H.o.M.E.
Jack thoughts did drift and so he left
While Jill screamed "Philistine!"

Kinda feeble, I know, but the best I can come up with a long hiatus.

Gimli Son Of Gloin 04-28-2002 10:54 PM

There once was a hobbit
Who found a gold ring.
Which was forged by Sauron,
An evil king [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

He left it to Frodo
Instead of some cash,
Who snuck into Mordor
And burned it to ash.
