I agree with TM here. I actually don't believe Tom could do anything evil wilfully or even be made to do evil.

Tom's direct opposite, as we all know, is Gothmog of Morgul, who is as mysterious as his good counterpart, just on the other side. And I'm pretty sure Gothmog also made verses (though probably aliteration verse without rhymes).
