For Helen (and other possible fans of Carroll's nonsense poetry): that reminds me - almost seven years ago I wrote an LotR parody of that very poem! Here it is:
You are old...
It begins:
Quote:
‘You are old, Uncle Bilbo,’ young Frodo said,
‘And your age should be showing by now;
Yet you look well-preserved besides being well-fed,
Just what is your secret, say how?’
|
That whole
thread is well worth re-reading - so much fun stuff!
