Twunce wuz a wiz. Call ‘im Sharkey.
From high towers he shouted malarkey.
But the hobz up’n shoved ‘im,
Even squirmtung unloved ‘im
Thus concluding his crupt oligarchy.

There once was a Balrog in Moria,It's a long tale, but chill, I won't bore ya,Elessar, Dunedain,Stood to fight Durin's Bane,But Gandalf said \”I'll do it for ya\”

I'm sorry to arrive so late to such a great party. Here goes:Smaug, the great king under mountain,Brought fear wherever one found him,But he tired of men,So slept in his den,With the stone and the mist to enshroud him,He languished for years on his hoard,Sedate and perhaps a bit bored,He once thought of leaving,But gold's tough for heaving,So went back to snozzing and snoredOne day he awoke to a noise,And saw what appeared to be boys,The pests who would rob-it,Turned out to be hobbit,Together with bunches of dwarvesSmaug, in all of his fury,Rashly flew out in a flurry,He went to the lake,Some lives he did take,But soon found that vengeance can't cure thee,Bard's arrow flew up with a rush,Which caused Smaug to bleed with a gush,The dragon was slainThe mountain king's reign,Was ended by only a thrush

I am definitely late to the party, but I've been greatly enjoying all of these, and would like to contribute my own humble offering:Once behind Bag End our SamwiseOverheard Master Gandalf a-dram'tizeA lord mighty scaryA quest oh-so hairyWhen all'n he wanted was lamb pies'Twas then thrust upon our poor SamwiseA burden much huger than ham sizeHis courage was testedHis mettle none bestedI'd give 'im of all of them gran' prize.

Well this is joyous, indeed! To awake to a sweet verse from Sarah about the sturdy Sam Wise. So filled with great rhymes, humor and…lamb pies. When Sam said \”I wonder if we shall ever be put into songs or tales\” little did he imagine such an honor as this verse.

There's thinking outside the box, paw, as is your wont. Is it autobiographically accurate?

A pair for your consideration, not real jokey, but, as Eeyore says, we can't all, and some don't:Samwise stood by the silvery waters,Frodo told him, \”Although your heart totters,You'll do well without me,I must cross o'er the sea,And you must go beget sons and daughters.\”The ride home, dark and silent, alack!Yet glad windows shone out of the black;Rosie opened the door,Handed him Elanor,Samwise sat, and he said, \”Well, I'm back!\”

Quite good. That is a great moment in the story, when Sam returns for the next chapter of his life. I wish there had been another Tolkien novel about Sam's life with no real plot. Just about Sam and Rosie raising some kids. Maybe they take over the green dragon but it goes bust and it looks like they will loose their hobbit hole but then Sam's gardening work takes off and the kids turn out all right in the end.
