My very feeble attempt now has a second verse but the thread seems to have gone (?) so here it is.......

The Legend of the Ring

"Some time ago in a forgotten place
A dark lord dreamed to govern evey race,
And in order to gain all the land
The dark lord created a golden band.

A dwarven seven and a mortal nine
An elven three with powers divine,
But twenty was the final score
One more was forged tells ancient lore.

One to rule above all the rest
And put each creature to his test.

Until an alliance of elves and men
Came face to face with his dark ten,
Nine mortal men doomed to die
And the dark lord to rule them all on high.

The battle raged as they fell one by one
Until the dark lord's deed was done,
But elves resisted and men wouldn't crack
Until Isildur fell upon his back.

He lifted up his father's blade
And with that blow the rings power unmade,
Sauron defeated but spirit not gone
The legend of the ring would forever live on."
