Barrow Downers ain't no frowners; we comes to do the Clerihew
Sam Gamgee
Had quite a family and The Shire would be rotten if Rosie didn't to him cotton. Gollem was ever so solemn Would the story ring differently if he had a taste for comedy? How to do Clerihew

Fun!
And especially for us non-English speakers! At last rhymes that are meant to be cranky in the first place! Túrin, son of Húrin befriended with a kinsman of Durin. But who would have ever made the wager, that all he would do was to act like a teenager? (yep, I just finished the CoH)

Elrond Peredhil
Is in a quandary still Whenever he committed a gaffe He got scolded by his better half

Excellent clerihews, Nogrod and Morthoron. You've provided unexpected little twists about your characters and have considerably raised the bar. (Of course, if we were doing the limbo, that would help me alot. )

Frodo,
He's no dodo: When he sees danger ride-- He hides! |

Aragorn,
Often the subject of scorn, Was nicer than was told: Not quite shiny, but still gold.

Didn't go. Was he afeard? From the book he disappeared.

Imrahil of Dol Amroth
Protected the guard of Osgiliath; Rescued Faramir, saved Eowyn, Aragorn first did see-- But for all that he did not warrant a part in any movie. |

Desperately rode Radagast,
And finally caught Gandalf at last; But he was beguiled by cunning words, So all his efforts were for the birds.

Hear the story of Angmar's nasty Witch King:
An evil git enslaved by a ring, He terrorized the human race 'Til a chick ran a knife through his face.

Ah! I'm away for a day and the thread moves with wit and speed. Good to see people having fun. Perhaps I should be away more often?
Ruling firmly, Théoden King denied a girl her fling. Then like a monarch was not nonplussed when beneath his mount he was crushed.

great thread!
Eomer, a brave Rider, Third Marshal of the Mark
With Theoden brought light to Minas Tirith when 'twas dark. At times he may get a little violent, But he never keeps his thoughts silent.

Of Sauron, The Lord of Dark:
Hear this information. Hark! He used his armies to commit atrocities beyond description, But at least embraced equal opportunity conscription.

Eowyn
Slayed efficiently by being a woman. Rejected by Aragorn, feeling blue, She looked at Faramir and said, "You'll do."

Merry of the Brandybucks Said to Pippin, "Shucks! Do we have to follow Frodo? He's a) fat, and b) a dodo!"

Boromir:
I hear The Horn of Gondor when it gets blown. Is that the moan of the instrument? Or your own?

Frodo,
Where'd your finger go? Ah! Inside of Gollum, beneath the plume Within the fires of Mount Doom.

Maedhros, Maglor, Celegorm, Caranthir, Curufin, Amras in Amrod
Contrived to be born to a mother still slim as a ramrod. Amras, Celegorm, Caranthir, Curufin, and old and young redheads In disarranged order went down a succession of deadheads.

Amazing to see this old thread come up for some fresh air. Good ones, all!
Galadriel's phial gave a smile to Frodo where the sun don't go. Celeborn was quite forlorn when to the West sailed half his best.

Eol went to find his wife,
But instead he lost his life. No one went down the mountian-side To scrape off the rocks Eol's insides.

Osse wrecked the ships all night,
Amusing himself until it was light, Because Uinen came at dawn And said, "Honey, do calm down!" Legolas Said, "Alas! I have competition. I would That there was no Robin Hood!"

Frodo kept the Ring
nd thought that no one knew about the thing. Merry had to prove him wrong - For a long time he knew all along!

Arwen was changed by Peter Jackson
Into an Elvish woman of action Like some gladiator bred for an arena Thus the Half-Elf warrior princess Xena.

Since I'm already Clerihewing the films, I'll add this one that I posted on another thread concerning The Hobbit movie. God knows if I'll remember where it is a year from now...
Of the dubious character Itaril, Some may call her a bitter pill; Yet along came Saoirse Ronan To play this Elfess Conan.
