Tolkien's Dwarves hie
from Nordic sagas and myths,
where they were sly
and cunning with glyphs,
were evil, the foes
of the gods.
I suppose,
*LMP nods,*
Tollers would dispose
of Disney,
wouldn't he?
But he liked the Grimms,
fellow linguists,
whose stories from the dim
ancient mists
of the past,
were not repast
for children's minds
with their lurid crimes
and stark tales
with dragon scales.
So Tollers' Dwarves, hard bitten
are ennobled, I'm thinkin'.
