Doom, doom, doom,
We love Orlando Bloom
But Elijahs the best
Don't care about the rest
Cause he's all shacked up in my room!!!
hoom hoom

There was a king named Aragorn
Isildurs heir he was born,
he was a healer
but also a pipe-weed dealer
But still the best King that ever was born!!!
(y'know...you would not believe some of the other versions of that last line that I had!!! If ya wanna know...you gotta ask)

Arathorn · 02-19-2002, 05:28 AM

Pippin, Frodo, Samwise, and Merry
Fell riders chased them all the way to the ferry
They first hid in a nook,
Then went all out for the brook
Now their singing with good ole Tom and Goldberry

Nameless · 02-19-2002, 08:25 AM

There was a Barrow Wight
Who gave the hobbits a fright
For he had entrapped them
Then he tried to attack them
Until Tom sang with all of his might!

Arathorn · 02-19-2002, 12:08 PM

This is cheating a bit (isn't Smeagol so lucky?)

Our precious goes over the mountainses
To land with small people called hobbitses
A Baggins did steal it
Another did bring it
And now we will sneak them through Marsheses

Nameless · 02-19-2002, 05:59 PM

LOL

Good one Arathorn! I don't think it is cheating at all!

Shelob was a large hairy spider
Who thought the darkness would hide her
But along came Frodo and Sam
Who held starlight in their hand
And in the end she had Sting thrust inside her

Nibs · 02-19-2002, 06:25 PM

I searched, but to no avail. I find this rhyming scheme a little tight to work within, so I wrote in a different one. I looked for a different place to put them... I couldn't find one, but if there is, tell me and I won't do any more here.

Hey, ho, that jubilant soul
His name is Tom Bombadillo
Helped out some strangers, the halflings
With the troublesome old man willow
They thanked him profusely
For his good will giv’n loosely
But, in return, had nothing to give
Then he taught them a song
To which before long
He’d come quickly as long as they lived

Bregalad · 02-19-2002, 11:32 PM

Arathorn, that Gollum one's my fav, so far! And that's saying a lot, 'cause we have some wicked good limerick writers so far!

Nibs, I love your poem, and it don't hurt a bit that it's not a limerick, it's grand! Just my luck though, my new one is about Tom too! Ah well, I alwasys was a day late and a dollar short!

Tom Bombadil was so merry,
The Hobbits needn't be wary,
He sang "ring a dong dillo"
As he chastised the willow,
Then they all went to meet Goldberry!

Arathorn · 02-19-2002, 11:43 PM

thanks Nameless and Bregalad, and great poem Nibs!

I just though it was too unfairly easy since Gollum's allowed a lot of leeway with the way he says thingses.

I'll be back in a while. I have rhymer's block, I think.

Nibs · 02-20-2002, 12:17 AM

Compliments! "Grand!!", raved one reviewer. Oh, let me return the favor. All of yours are equally stunning... I’m especially liking Arathorn’s and Nameless', but they're not alone... here’s one for all the unbelievers (of Tolkien, that is).

Aragorn and Elessar
The Elfstone and brand-spankin’ new king
“Who are all these people?” you ask
I say, they’re all the same thing!
“Why so many names??” you inquire in spite
But it’s not nearly enough for me
You think it’s not normal, I think it quite right
That’s the difference between me and thee

I may go back to limericks, but I prefer these. Hope you like.

Tanoliel · 02-20-2002, 01:13 AM

I LOVE it! Nibs, that's great! Aragorn does have too many names, though....(~Aw, what? No way! Many names are a good thing! *Be quiet. You only have one! ~So far! *Oh, Lord...)
Anhow. I'm working on it. I've never been very good at rhyming poems...I could try a sonnet, though...

Arathorn · 02-20-2002, 03:45 AM

(this one's starts out well but goes flat in the end)
Gimli did wail by poor Balin's Tomb: "NO!"
With Gandalf and the rest, a muttering: "oh.."
Then Gandalf did read: "We cannot get out"
As goblins were roused with nary a shout
While poor Foolofatook squinted, with a regretful woe

Nibs · 02-20-2002, 06:50 AM

Hope you can handle constructive criticism, considering you can give it... methinks it should be "regretful woe", not "regrettable woe."

Don't be regretfully regretful about that sort of thing... you might regret it.

Arathorn · 02-20-2002, 08:35 AM

Oh, thanks. I don't usually use the word as an adjective and was pondering on the no. of syllables to put in. You're right, wrong context.

Anyway, I changed it; but added an article to preserve the no. of syllables. Thanks again!

so, which regret do i regret?

I'll be back if inspiration comes a'knockin'

Arathorn · 02-21-2002, 12:43 PM

In the Land of Mordor, far far to the ashen east
There grows a fell shadow, Sauron the brooding dark Beast
They cut his poor finger
He lost his gold ringer
Plot his revenge he will, at the very very least.

Arathorn · 02-21-2002, 01:00 PM

One more limerick before I fall asleep
There's still work tomorrow, 'hope this one would keep
No LOTR Books
Nor Threads with hooks
To dreamworld I go now, get ready you sheep

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 02-21-2002, 03:28 PM

Some say that the Balrog can fly
Others say that is a lie
It's a thing we avoid
Cause the admins get annoyed
And we don't want to make Tater cry

Starr Polish · 02-21-2002, 04:10 PM

There once was a girl with the flu
She was bored, and said "What can I do"
Then she felt okay
Because she was going to read ROTK
Oh no! I left it at schoo'!

Bregalad · 02-21-2002, 07:10 PM

Awake! Fear! Fire! Foes!
So the horn of Buckland goes,
Poor Fatty fled back,
From Riders in black,
Fear curled the hair on his toes!

Bregalad · 02-21-2002, 07:17 PM

Attercop! Attercop! Bilbo cheered.
An insult spiders hate to hear.
He added Tomnoddy!
Which bugs anybody,
And with Sting he taught them to fear.

Nibs · 02-21-2002, 07:40 PM

Excellent, Bregalad and others! This is quite fun.

The greatest in speed and up to the task
Purest of breed, noble Shadowfax
Though somewhat unruly
'Til Gandalf dealt coolly
Now mounted, he flies through countless fields of flax
