WWXLV: The Fellowship of Saruman

[Nogrod]

Soon Tom bursted singing once again.

"Four suspicious behaviours have I noted
under which an evil intent could be coated.

There are those who speak and act differently
those minds I do not follow gently.
Like our ranger Halbarad here who suspects
those with lots of words with no serious contents
but himself doesn't give us a penny's worth,
not even the relaxation with the mirth.

And like this Uglúk chosen by Curunir
whose bloodthirst reminds one of the Bauglir.
He calls for sense balancing the nonsense
while all he himself produces is a fence.
And how in importance he lifts his own tail,
while his reasons against the wizard are just stale.

There are also those who like to use arguments of others,
bandwaggoning suitable ideas to gain more believers.
Like our high-lord Elladan of Rivendell
too happy to follow the footsteps to hell:
going after the Uruk's mind with old Tom being vicious
trying to make us blind with Radagast casted suspicious?

The fourth one is a harder one to explain
but hopefully from my words you might gain
an insight to a matter of the venerable Gildor the high
whose self-reflectiviness might darker secrets imply.
Going after the bandwaggons but notifying it
and reminding that suspicion is a dangerous gift."


After the recitation Tom felt suddenly tired and laid down unscrewing his flask.

"I'll just take a nap to refresh me old bones and brains but I'll catch you up before the sun sets. So don't you worry."

A faint "tralla-lally" came from his lips before he fell asleep.

EDIT: X'd with Gildor & Radagast & Halbarad
EDIT2: removed a doubling of "to follow" from Elladan rhyme...
