One Hungry Hobbit

By Yodaman

'Why don't we stop for a bite?' asked the Hobbit

With a beastly ravenous fury

He'd take anything from some beef to pork to chicken

Even some Gondorian curry!

'What?' asks the Ranger of the North

'We just got one at the inn!

Surely that was enough for you

Don't you want to say trim?'

'Yes' says the Hobbit with a smile on a face

Eager for a bite of pork grind

'What about a second breakfast' he said to his friend

His stomach enzymes messing with his mind.

The ranger just walked off ignoring the mess

Shocked of the behavior of his friend

He had never had more than three meals

Let alone beg for one till the end.

'He doesn't know about second breakfast' said the other Hobbit

And very angry was he

He just wasted a very good minute

A minute of peace and glee!

'Doesn't know about second breakfast?' asked the shocked Hobbit

The worst of all horrors he must bear!

No elevensies or afternoon tea

And dinner and supper are not there!

How could his life end this way

With so much agony and pain?

His life was so young and carefree

And now it would never be the same.

Suddenly he felt a bump on his skull

Oh he was going to smack his pal!

But lying on the ground was an apple

Salvation had come to his bowels!

Picked the fruit up and said 'oh'

But more happy was he than that!

He devoured the morsel with such desire

And happily on the ground he sat.

Thus is the tale of a monstrous horror

A terror beyond comprehension

But all fears can be overcome by kindness

And that's the end of this conversation.

The End
