Hot, crispy nice hobbit has just left Hobbiton.
Boots Ode to the Merry Fellow

What? Nobody likes Ol' Tom? Lemme guess... His eyes arn't blue enough? I will prove you wrong!

Quote:
'I had an errand there: gathering water-lilies,
green leaves and lilies white to please my pretty lady,
the last ere the year's end to keep them from the winter,
to flower by her pretty feet til the snows are melted.
Each year at summer's end I go find them for her,
in a wide pool, deep and clear, far down Withywindle;
there they open first in spring and there they linger latest.
By that pool long ago I found the River-daughter,
fair young Goldberry sitting in the rushes.
Sweet was here singing then, and her heart was beating!'

He opened his eyes and looked at them with a sudden glint of blue.

'And that proved well for you - for now I shall no longer go down deep again along the forest-water, not while the year is old. Nor shall I be passing Old Man Willow's house this side of spring-time, not till the merry spring, when the River-daughter dances down the withy-path to bathe in the water.'
Never guess that Ol' Tom can be a shepherd, huh?
