Heh he... <img src=smile.gif ALT="">

I believe that TB was a maia. There are lot of maiar not known in the legends of Men and Tom Bombadil might have been one of them. Maybe he left the Undying Lands, not that he was banished or anything; he just wanted to leave, and settled down to Middle-Earth. This all happened long before the Awakening of Elves and other major historical events.

Or what if he was sent by the valar? Just like the istari were sent to Middle-Earth to fight against Sauron? What if he was to guide Elves to sail into the West, into the light of Valinor, away from the darkness of Middle-Earth?
