I wrote a LotR baseed poem for school last year, and I'm working on a few Song parodies to songs that are rather obscure and unknown, at least where I live. The poem I wrote for school has been posted on Fanfiction.net under my name of Syenya, However, I will put it here as well.
Ballad of the Last Alliance

Long ago in Middle Earth
Late in the second age
Twenty rings of Power
Were forged and given to
The three main races.

The kings of the Elves
Got three silver* rings,
The Humans got
Nine of gold.*

The Dwarven Lords
Got 7 rings
And the Dark Lord
One of his own.

It’s amazing that war
Can be won and lost
Over such little things
As a plain gold ring.

Years passed in
Middle Earth
And the Dark Lord
Almost controlled Arda.

Finally, Men and Elves
Created an alliance
To overthrow
The Dark Lord.

At last, when all hope failed,
Isildur of the Dúnedain
Picked up a broken sword
And sliced the One Ring
Off the Dark Lord’s hand.

It’s amazing that war
Can be won and lost
Over such little things
As a plain gold ring.

Isildur now had the chance
To throw the ring
Into the fires of Mount Doom.
He gave up the choice
And kept the ring,
Sealing the fate of Arda.
