The Mushroom Song
*
When my hunger won't abate
When my stomach cannot wait
For a truly lovely treat
Rumbles loud until I eat
Something that will satisfy
Hobbit heart and Hobbit eye
There's just one thing that will do
One thing good enough to chew
*
Mushrooms, mushrooms, big and small
Flat or round I'll eat them all
Fried or baked or served with stew
Chopped or sliced or whole will do
*
When Cook will not let me munch
On a few before my lunch
It's not nice to have to wait
'Til they're heaped upon my plate
When Cook will not favour me
With a few before my tea
Sometimes I will try to steal
One or two before my meal
*
Mushrooms, mushrooms, cooked with ham
Thrown in pies or stuffed in lamb
Grilled or boiled or roasted through
Diced or creamed or raw will do
*
When I'm outside for a stroll
Just a few miles from my hole
Is the most enormous yield
Of fungi in Maggot's field
It takes skill to scale the fence
Wood and rope are no defence
Vicious dog and harsh rebuke
Will not stop this hungry Took
*
Mushrooms, mushrooms, mixed with rice
Tossed in salad, very nice
Cooked with parsley, served on toast
Mushrooms are what I love most
*
As the son of Shire's Thain
It's my duty to refrain
From mischief (so I've been taught)
That just means not getting caught
Tiptoeing across the floor
Towards open pantry door
Or fleeing from farmer's land
Bulging sack of goods in hand
*
Mushrooms, mushrooms, I love you
More than fish and more than stew
Such a round and juicy treat
Mushrooms make my life complete
*

Author'a Note: I've been rather neglecting my LOTR works of late, but it's nice to revisit them again (especially when I'm having a bit of (temporary) bother with my megafic).
i hope this (rather simple) bit of fluff amuses you.
Thanks for reading,
Kara's Aunty :o)
