O man, I've been working on this one for about three days now. I think someone's done Merry, but not in prose.
Most abused of the Halflings and
Eowyn's friend, this
Rohirrim warrior
Imbibed to the end; he
Always was brave and
Did every right thing; he
Only despair'd he
Could not save the king. He
Became a great hero, in
Rohan and Shire; he
Answered Pip's questions [of which he
Ne'er tired]; he
Dreaded the wars and
Yet
Beat down
Unrest; thus the
Courage of Merry
Kept strength in the Quest.
Whew.
