* Gandalf laughed heartily. By chance, he'd been just thinking of the song Holly and Bird had been singing several days ago, the one that started out: *

There were three ra'ens sat on a tree,
Down a down, hey down, hey down,
They were as black as black might be,
With a down.
The one of them said to his mate,
Where shall we our breakfast take?
With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down

My answer, Birdie, is this: By plucking the goose! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

If we're wandering further afield with our word puzzles, Bird, how about this question?

A small town in the Shire had two barbers. The first barber was slovenly, with wilting hair cut all uneven with patches sticking up and curls hanging down in odd places. The second barber was neat and clean, hair perfectly washed, cut, and combed. A passing Dwarf, needing his beard trimmed, chose the first barber. Why? Both barbers charged the same fee.
