Fifteen birds in five firtrees,
their feathers were fanned in a fiery breeze!
But, funny little birds, they had no wings!
O what shall we do with the funny little things?
Roast 'em alive, or stem them in a pot;
fry them, boil them, and eat them hot?

The Goblins to the Dwarves, Gandalf, and Mr.Baggins, all up in the trees. From The Hobbit, Chapter 6.

Thank you, Beren87! *bows*

Anyway, just wait: I'm searching the previous threads to see if my idea's a repeat.

Nilpaurion Felagund 11-20-2003 02:23 AM

Oh, Angband...they're too long, and I have not the time. Here goes.

. . . at that sound the bent shape of the king sprang suddenly erect. Tall and proud he seemed again; and rising in his stirrups he cried in a loud voice, more clear than any there had ever heard a mortal man achieve before:

Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!

For a searing second it stood dazzling far off in black and white,its tomost tower like a glittering needle and then as the darkness closed again there came rolling over the fields a great boom.
