Hey! I like some of these. At least, the adaptation of We Three Kings. I'll give you a list of some of the ones I came up with this weekend, and you all pick which one you want me to work on first.
Perhaps Good King Theoden? Or does Deck the Halls with boughs of mithril sound better? Let me look at this Christmas hymn book...okay, choose your pick.
"While Treebeard watched his flock by day", the rest of this would be something like "while watching all aroo-ound two hobbits came wal-king about, and stumbled on the ground...AND stumbled ON the ground. Oh,
"Hark! the Wraith’s last cry is shouted,
hail Dernhelm, the Victor’ous! (Hark! The Hereld Angels Sing)
Or how about "O come, little hob-bits, oh come, one and all. To Bag-End, to Frodo, so kingly and tall" (That one was a little more off the beaten path, it's called O Come Little Children) Or how about “Frodo take your lit-tle sword, Samwise bring your pans aaand come, there are orcs a’bustin’ in, wham-whack-bang-crash-boom, pat-a-pat-a-PAN, Samwise whacked an orc, now he’s gettin’ the hang of iiiiiit”
No, no, wait, how’s this? “Jolly old Saint Mithranir, Thrust your staff this way!”
And let’s not even MENTION what I could do with “I Saw Three Ships” in respect to the fleet that Aragorn captured and used to rescue Gondor.
I’m being BOMBARDED with inspiration! How about “Nazgūl we have heard on high, sourly crying o’er the plains”
Any more ideas? I don't always have time, but when I do, I could cook up some more of these. Oh, how about "Away on a dark stair, no place for a bed...the lit-tle Ringbearer lay down his sweet head...that menace Smeagol comes back with a plan...but nearly repents when he sees him with Sam." (That, of course, is Away in a Manger.)
I have to stop! I'm getting Christmas fever!!!
