Middle Earth Nursery Rhymes

[Samwise]

More oddness...

Hush, evil Sauron
don't say a word
sorry, but you're not going to rule the world
A plucky little hobbit's got your Ring
He's gonna make sure he destroys that thing!

"I met Sam going up the hill and told him to follow me; but plainly he did not do so. he guessed his master's mind and came back here before Frodo had gone. He did not find it easy to leave Sam behind! " ~Aragorn, TTT

[Samwise]

Okay, one more then I'll quit (well, for today... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )
One, two, three diverse Walkers
four, five, six diverse Walkers
seven, eight, nine diverse Walkers
all heading toward Mordor.

Nine, eight, seven diverse Walkers
six, five, four diverse Walkers
three, two, one little Walker
made it to Mordor with a friend.

'Kay, that's it, I promise! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

"So my plan is all spoilt!" said Frodo. "It is no good trying to escape you. But I'm glad, Sam. It is plain that we were meant to go together. "

[Raefindel]

Thought I'd ressurect this thread so the newbies could give it a shot. Anyone care to add a new one?

[LadyElbereth]

Here's one!

*Little Bo Peep*

Evil Lord Sauron has lost his ring
and doesn't know where to find it
leave it alone and it'll come home
dragging two hobbits behind it!

~LadyElbereth

[Diamond18]

Well, I'm a Wight, not a newbie. But I've only been here since September, so I'm glad this post has been revieved:

Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of Ring:
Four and twenty crebain
Flying on a wing.

Gollum is fond of fishes,
And Elves like to sing,
Was not that a dainty dish
To set before the King?

The King was on Caradhras,
Climbing up the summit,
The Queen was in Rivendell,
Glorfindel wasn’t.

The hobbit was in the garden,
Trimming up the trees,
When down swooped Gandalf,
And accused him of dropping eaves.

[hobbitlass]

These are great!

(I'm a little teapot)
I'm a little hobbit short and stout
Samwise and I are on a rough route
When I throw the ring in
Hear me shout
Mt Doom will explode, get the heck out

(POP goes the weasel)
All around the elvish place
the peoples had a council
Elrond named it the Fellowship
POP! goes the one ring.

Fellowship set out on a quest
then lost a few of its members
Two hobbits made it to Mt Doom
POP! goes the one ring

(I posted this in the limmericks, but I'll add it here, too)
There is a land called the Shire
it housed a burgler for hire
he went on his way
with dwarves oh so gay
and a wizard who played with fire.

(not homosexual)

[LadyElbereth]

here another one!

*little miss muffet*

Poor Fatty Lumpkin
sat on a pumkin
eating his elevenses(sp?)
along came a man-eating spider
and sat down beside him
then carried poor Fatty Lumpkin away!

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Elven Mistress]

OMG! Kalimac!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVED! the first one!!!!!!!!!

I've been trying SO hard to come up with one...

There once was a hobbit from shire
Who sold everyone a tire
He woke up one day
With nothing left to say
But, "Fire! fire!"

--okay, that made NO sense, but i just felt that i had to add something--

[Raefindel]

LOL! those were great everyone! Good Job.

[Diamond18]

(Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater).

Pippin, Pippin, the Foolish Took,
Had a palantír and couldn't keep it;
He switched it for a rounded stone,
And talked with Sauron all alone.

(Mary Mary Quite Contrary)

Merry, Merry, quite contrary,
How did that halfling grow!
With Scatha's horn and Sam's scorn,
They beat the Chief's men in a row.

(row = fight)

[Samwise]

LOL!!! Those are great!!

[LadyElbereth]

I love the "I'm a little tea pot" one!
hmmm...

This little hobbit likes to write
This little hobbit can't sing
This little hobbit puts up a fight
This little hobbit had the Ring
This little hobbit said,"Wait, Wait, Wait! What about my afternoon tea?"

[DarkRose]

Hahahha! You guys are all brilliant! I enjoyed these so much! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'll have a go at it:

Sauron, Sauron
Go away.

Wreak havoc on Middle Earth
some other day.

Lame, I know. If anyone didn't know, that was the LOTR version of "Rain, Rain, Go Away!" Heh. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Diamond18]

What are little orcs made of, made of?
What are little orcs made of?
Whips and spikes and grubby head lice,
And that’s what little orcs are made of!

~~~~~~~~~

Bah, bah, Dark Lord,
Have you any Rings?
Yes, marry, have I,
Such precious things!
One ring to rule them all,
One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them!

~~~~~~~~~

Peregrin and Meriadoc resolved to have a battle,
For Peregrin said Meriadoc had spoiled his nice new rattle.
Just then flew by a monstrous fell-beast,
As big as a tar barrel,
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.

~~~~~~~~~

Sam and Bill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water,
Bill fell down and broke his crown,
And Sam laughed at him ever after.

~~~~~~~~~

[LadyElbereth]

Hey diddle diddle
the dwarf and the fiddle
Bilbo got stuck in the trees
all the goblins laughed to see such sport
and Beorn had a hive full of bees.

[hobbitlass]

This is my 7 year-old's poem.....

Hobbit's are blue.
Wizard's are new.
Dwarves and elves are glue.
Men are pens.
Orcs are hands. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

[hobbitlass]

(Have to be fair...this is my 5 year-old's poem)

Wizards can make fire.
Hobbits eat mushrooms.
But Frodo has a ring.
Pippin says- The quest is long. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

[LadyElbereth]

Awwww, those are so cute, hobbitlass!

[Diamond18]

Here's one you've probably never heard of! I only changed a very few words, to "LotRize" it. You know how most hobbits were suspicious of Elves or anything of the outside world, so...

My mother said, I never should
Play with Elves in the wood.
If I did, then she would say:
Naughty lass to disobey.
You hair shan’t curl on your head or feet.
You Elven girl you shan’t be mine!
And my father said that if I did,
He’d rap me with a teapot lid.

My mother said that I never should
Play with Elves in the wood.
The wood was dark, the grass was green;
By came an Elf with a tambourine.
I went to sea—no ship to get across;
I paid ten shillings for a tall white horse.
I upped on his back and was off in a crack,
Tell my mother I shall never come back!

[TolkienGurl]

To the tune of "Sing a Song of Six-pence"

Sing a song of Nine Rings,
Nine Men so proud and tall.
Seven Rings for Dwarves
who lived in their stony halls.
Elven Rings were wrought and
T'were given to Three Kings.
But Sauron came to Earth
And destroyed these pretty things.

[TolkienGurl]

To the tune "Rock-a-bye Baby"

Good Bye, Frodo
Leaving Bag End
Off to Mordor
With a friend.
He'll stay with you
Till darkness comes
Protect you and carry you
Without qualms.

Aaw. Isn't that sweet? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Aaw. Isn't that sweet?

*sniff*Actually, yes! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

One from a good friend of mine, Puff the Orc.

Wee Willie Nazgul rides through the town,
Upstairs downstairs in his frightgown,
Rapping at the window,
Prying at the lock
Are the hobbits all asleep?
For it’s past 12 o’clock!

[img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Smeagol, Smeagol hates the sun.
Stole a ring and away did run.
The ring was lost,
Smeagol was cross
and his precious went on to
exact its cost.

There was an old wizard who was quite aloof.
He kept many orcs, but not under his roof.
He made them work hard and treated them poor,
and whipped them up fiercely and sent them to war.

[Pennthangeil]

i got this off a site dont remember where so DONT SUE ME !

"The time has come" the Balrog said
"To talk of other things.
Of elves and dwarves and mortal men
but not "Do I have wings?"

"Of Isldur in his pride
The Dark Lord in his pain
The little Hobbits in their sloth
Til the ring was found again!"

"The dragon's greed
The Wormtoung's lust
and Shelob's guttony
The pits of Mordor deep and dark
Those crying to be free!'

"A wizards envy brought him down
And made him slave to sin
And angers' found all around
In every wayside inn"

[Rumil]

O Gimli, did you hurt yourself,
falling from that masonry?
If not, please do it once again,
because this elf here didn't see.

[Pennthangeil]

O, Come to the Shire
my young lads and lasses
To the home of round doors and of kelly green grasses
The hills are a-rolling and so are our tunes
And all of the young ones are laughing like loons

Glad to see this thread going again. I'll have to see if I can think up some new ones--these are pretty good!

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Sorry Samwise, but the thought of Boromir as “Little Boy Blue” was a good one!

Oh son of Denethor
Come blow your horn!
There’s orcs on the Anduin
And you’re passed the mallorn.
Where is lord Boromir
‘ere troubles run deep?
He’s catching young Frodo,
his ring for to keep.

[Samwise]

No apology necessary (still thinking...) [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

[Samwise]

Okay...

Old Bilbo was a merry old soul
who had an eleventy-onthe birthday party.
He called all the Hobbits, and an old wizard friend
and his heir, a ring for to see.

*claps* Bravo! Bravo! Encore!
I'm so glad this thread is up and runnin again cause I really like this one! I'm gonna have to go rack my brains for some good ones also!

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Only indirectly ME related & not Mother Goose but here it goes:

‘Twas brilliant and the forum good,
Did agree not quibble on each page.
All matchless conversation stood,
And no Wight was outraged.

“Beware the Balrog threads, my son!
The shadow wings are a slippery path!
Beware the fangirl threads and shun,
The moderator’s wrath!”

He took his vorpal mouse in hand:
Longtime the legend’s foe he sought,
Through many a thread both wild and bland.
The computer locked up, distraught.

And slowly flickered on the screen,
The Balrog with his eyes of flame,
came scrolling down in black and green,
the tower grinding as it came!

Point one! Point two! And through and through!
His keyboard sang with click and clack!
The connection dead, and with it said,
He went galumphing back.

“And hast thou conquered the Balrog then?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.

‘Twas brilliant and the forum good
with posts aplenty on the site.
All mimsy were the Barrowdowns
Wights typing through the night. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

(Thank goodness for the preview option!)

[Skippy the Nazgul]

There were two brothers from Rivendell
who feared their sister would ever reek hell.
There then can a man
she accepted his hand
And now in happiness they do dwell.

Skip [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

[Samwise]

Wow, Hilde Bracegirdle, The Jabberwocky? That took some thinking! *applauds*

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Thanks for the encouragement Samwise! Pennthangeil's post got me thinking of Lewis Carrol.

It was quite a diversion on my evening commute home, luckily there was no traffic.
I kept hoping I could remember enough to get it down on paper when I reached home!

Old Tom Bom.badil was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he.
He called for his boots, and he called for his jacket,
And he chased away barrow wights three.

[Samwise]

Nice to see this thread going again! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Must think up more silly stuff... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Silmarien]

Once a gloomy hobbit
Sat on Orodruin,
Under the shade
Of a some rocks by the path,
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til the Master came
"You'll come a-waltzing,
My precious, with me."

Waltzing My precious,
Waltzing My precious
You'll come a-waltzing,
My precious, with me
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til the Master came,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
My precious, with me."

Past came the Master,
On the back of Faithful Sam,
Up jumped the hobbit
And grabbed him with glee,
But he was fought off
And had to wait ‘til further up,
To go a-waltzing,
My precious, with me.

Waltzing My precious,
Waltzing My precious
You'll come a-waltzing,
My precious, with me
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til the Master came,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
My precious, with me."

He fought with the Master,
And bit off the ring finger,
Up flew the Ringwraiths,
One, two, three,
"Where's that jolly one ring
You've got in your clasped fist?
You'll come a-waltzing,
My precious, with me."

Waltzing My precious,
Waltzing My precious
You'll come a-waltzing,
My precious, with me
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til the sun went down,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
My precious, with me."

Up jumped the hobbit,
Sprang into the fiery pit,
"You'll never catch me
Alive," said he,
And his ghost may be heard
As you pass by the fiery mount,
”You'll come a-waltzing,
My precious, with me.”

Waltzing My precious,
Waltzing My precious
You'll come a-waltzing,
My precious, with me
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til the sun went down,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
My precious, with me."

I just found one for Sam

Yokie pokie,
Yankie, fun,
How do you like
Your tatters done?

First in brandy,
then in rum,
That's how I like
My tatters done.

and

Sammywise, Sammywise, where have you been?
I've been to Gondor to visit the king.
Sammywise, Sammywise, what did you there?
...well more than I can fit into one line!

When I was walking to Rivendell,
I met a man with 7 elves,
each elf had 7 sacks,
each sack had 7 rabbits,
each rabbit had 7 carrots,
each carrot had 7 bugs,
Bugs, carrots, rabbits, Elves,
How many were going to Rivendell.

Silmarien, I think you have WAY too much time on your hands. And I can't think of any rhymes, so I'll shut up now.
