The Shire, the Shire, of Middle Earth,
Bilbo sitting by his hearth,
Warming by his just lit fire,
Waiting for Gollum the nasty liar.
Gollum wants the Ring for himself,
Bilbo hides it high on a shelf.
Frodo comes by, just to say "Hi."
Bilbo gives him the ring and says, "Goodbye."
Frodo must now dispose of the Ring,
For all the evil it doth bring.
He set out on a quest, his mind set to do his best.
When he runs into trouble, what a mess!
"Oh the Shire, the Shire. I wish I were home!
When my duty is done, I wish never again to roam!"
