~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a bright and sunny day, and Winnie the Frodo stumped up to the top of the Shire to see if his friend Christopher Gandalf was interested in Hobbits at all. Christopher Gandalf was sitting at his door pulling on his Big Boots. As soon as he saw the Big Boots, Frodo knew that an Adventure was going to happen.
"We're all going on an Expedition," said Gandalf.
"Going on an Expotition?" said Frodo eagerly. "Where are we going to on this Expotition?"
"Expedition, silly old Hobbit! We're going to discover the Cracks of Doom."
"Oh" said Frodo. "What's the Cracks of Doom."
"Oh, just a thing you discover, " said Gandalf carelessly. "Go and tell the others, and make sure you bring Provisions."
"Pro... what? I'm a Hobbit of Very Little Brain and long words Bother me."
"Things to eat."
"Oh, that's good!" said Frodo happily, and off he went to fetch Sam and some mushrooms.

~~~~~~
They all went off to discover Mount Doom,
Legolas, Sam and Gimli and all,
It's a thing you discover as I've been told,
By Legolas, Sam and Gimli and all.
Boromir, Gandalf and Frodoo,
And Frodoo's relations all went too,
But where Mount Doom was none of them knew,
Sing Hey! for Sam and Gimli and all!
