Did Tolkien order
more to Mordor?
Yes and some not so blithely meant
as the Siamese Cats he sent.
First, some of his own side in war
who succumbed to bullying evermore;
And that blasted confraternity
who offended Chris in the army.
Modern life he also placed
in Mordor with disgrace
for its noisome, loathesome
fume and stench,
which daily, goodness it would drench
with uninhabitable pestilence.
Doggerel hath its uses
for allowing abuses
of poetic rhyme and sense.
Time always giddily spent.
