Urwen has just left Hobbiton.
The Ode to Unfortunate Noldor

Eriol:
I have plenty of tales to share
This one's one of the best
So do listen, if you dare
But first sit down by the fire and rest

The tale begins with the Elves
The beings tall and fair
Who settled into
The lands that were bare

The elves had luck
Far beyond anyone else
But for some of them life sucked
And they were never blessed

First of such was Feanor
Who departed with a clang
But he was ambushed and set on fire
Then he went out with the bang

Then came Maedhros
Who couldn't take it anymore
And in the fire he threw himself
Because his hand was sore

His brother, Celegorm the Fair
Had love troubles of the highest order
He loved Aredhel, and grabbed Luthien by the hair
And now he is no more

Curufin was the favorite
He and his bro made quite a duo
Then he was slain to break the stalemate
And to shake up the status quo

Caranthir was the dark one
Who never loved any Elleth
Instead, in his lands
He shared a bed with Haleth

Maglor was the secondborn
And the only sane one
Now, listening to Ulmo's horn
He wanders the shore alone

Finally, we have Lomion, of dubious fame
Who took after Celegorm, no joke
He played and lost the game
And then his body broke

And that's the end of this tale
That I have told
Now grab a cup of ale
And listen to more tales as they unfold
