Ring

Seeing that not a soul was impressed with his Trickster theory, and frankly glad of it, LMP shrugged and got off his chair. He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a pair of three foot deep congas and started setting up a back beat in 4/4 time. His personae, Eodwine, Garreth and Harreld, from the White Horse, wafted away from his person and pulled out brass instruments and started up a three part brass riff. Falco Boffin, normally not known for musical talent, not even singing, nevertheless reached into his back pocket and pulled out a bass guitar complete with amplifier and electrical hook ups and started thrumming for all he was worth. Then LMP started doing a somewhat bad job of mimicking Peter Gabriel.

you could have a grond ram
if you'd just lay down your orcs
you could have a nazgul flying
if you bring your doom sky back

all you do is call me
I'll be any Ring you need

you could have a big mumak
going up and down, all around Pelenno
you could have a hundred wargs, howling,
this abuse just never ends

all you do is call me
I'll be any Ring you need

I want to use a dwarven hammer
why don't you call for Dain
oh let me use a dwarven hammer
this could be the best, if only

show me round your hobbit hole
'cos I will be your honey and tea
open up your hobbit hole
where the tea is precisely at three

I want to be your dwarven hammer
why don't you call for Dain
you'd better use a dwarven hammer
put your axe at rest
I'm going to use a dwarven hammer
this could be the best, if only
I've got a dwarven hammer
let there be no doubt about it

dwarf! dwarf! dwarven hammer

I've seen a dragon
shed its skin
then came the new stuff
it went prancing in, it went prancing in
oh won't you show your Ring
and I will show you mine
show me your Ring and I will show you mine
yea yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I do mean Rings
only Rings
they've been coming through
going to build that power
build, build up that power, hey
I've been feeding the dragon
I've been feeding the dragon
going to feel that power build in him

yeah yeah yeah
all day and night

et cetera

A few souls could be seen here and there grooving and moving to the tune. LMP had fun watching it all, and thanked the Valar for the chorus that suddenly backed him, made up of Fea, Eswen, and other various and sundry persons from various rpgs.
