The two never meet in The Fellowship of the Ring, but anybody who has read the two poems, "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil", know that there are a couple lines in the second poem about Tom and old Farmer Maggot sitting down and having a little talk.....

What do you suppose Tom said to Maggot? Maggot to Tom? When do you suppose this little conversation took place? Before Frodo and company came by? After? I realize this is pure speculation, but thought it'd be fun.
