Title: Greenleaf, Greenleaf
Summary: In the manner of Dr. Seuss, Merry and Pippin learn that 'Legolas' and 'Greenleaf' mean the same thing.
Explanation: This is really random. I was bored in Spanish class when I wrote it.
*****
"Legolas Greenleaf," said Pippin,
"Why one name with two within?
"Merry, can you tell me, oh,
"Why it is that this is so?"
"No, I cannot tell you so,"
Answered Merry, voice with woe,
"But I can tell you where to go,
"Ask of Strider, he shall know."
"Strider, Strider, I ask you,
"Tell me, is it really true?"
And he pointed a finger of accusation,
"It's a crime against civilization!"
"Pippin, Pippin, calm yourself!
"Leggy is no evil Elf!"
And then Strider laughed with glee
Such a funny thing to see!
"And your brain begins to rot,
"I warned you, 'lay off Elvish pot'!"
But Legolas Aragorn did ignore
For Elvish pot he did abhor.
"Pippin," Aragorn did state,
"He his own name does inflate.
"As if one name were not enough,
"Legolas does double-stuff!
"'Greenleaf' and 'Legolas' are the same,
"Double names are just so lame!"
And then Pippin backed away
Nothing more did he say.
But on the morning next,
Poor old Elfie thought himself hexed!
"Greenleaf Greenleaf!" cried a Halfling,
How he knew this to Legolas was baffling.
But the damage was done,
And could not be outrun
Nor could it be undone
But Elfie yet would have some fun.
"Legolas Legolas!" Peregrin cried
An arrow from his bow flew wide
But this torment he did endure
Knowing not what was in store.
Later on, a fire lit,
The hobbits talked a little bit.
"Marijauna, grass, athelas, pot,
"Add greenleaf among the lot!"
This the Elf let not go free,
But slammed Pippin into a tree.
"This taunting mission you'll abort,
"Or else your little self I'll hurt!
"Do I make myself quite clear?"
Little Pippin nodded in fear.
Then the Elf let him fall
And to his friend he paid a call.
"Aragorn, Strider, Elfstone, Estel!
"Oh, my friend, your deeds are fell!
"Tell me, what did I ever do,
"To deserve this hurt from you?"
Aragorn laughed and told his friend,
"Be this not our bitter end!
"Back at hobbits we shall get,
"Ready a plan do I have yet!"
"This had better be good."
"Aye, for get revenge we should,
"As the hobbits love their food,
"We'll give them a foul mood."
Then Legolas had an evil grin,
And their plan they did begin.
*****
"A hellgrammite!" Merry cried,
"This in my meal I'll not abide!"
Pippin opened his mouth to concur,
But in his throat he felt a stir.
It was thought he would take note,
Not let the animal in his throat!
From within him came a croak,
Causing poor young Pippin choke!
Merry slapped him on the back
Then with a cough and with a hack,
Back up came the offending frog,
"Fouler than the dragon Smaug!"
Pippin jumped up to his feet.
"This small trick we shall easily beat!. . ."
