A/N : This story was inspired by Frodo's sister's poem: The Scary Tower.


Sometime ago he woke

In a dungeon cool and dank

With twisted beasts who spoke

With rotting teeth and breath that stank

~0~0~0~0

In sleep he had been stripped

Of clothes and Star and sword

And the band which he had gripped

Quite long, so as to evil ward

~0~0~0~0

His friend, too, it seemed

Was lost to him in death

For how could he've escaped the fiend

And her wicked spider breath?

~0~0~0~0

While he suffered hard abuse

He thought of many days

He never thought he'd lose

Or think on in this way

~0~0~0~0

He thought of stealing mushrooms

And great loud fireworks

Of Sam's white rose blooms

And Gandalf's many quirks

~0~0~0~0

A heavy step he hears again

As a creature does ascend

With a whip which his blood stains

Cruel lashes on his back to rend

~0~0~0~0

But there! Another footstep falls

Much hurried yet still light

And a voice whichs pleads and calls

A Mr. Frodo to come to sight

~0~0~0~0

The twisted elf does stand and fight

But the gardener wins here

With brave and sturdy might

So Frodo may not fear

~0~0~0~0

At last the cold and battered hobbit

Is safe in Samwise' arms

With hope to last him quite a bit

No care to coming harm!
