Book 2: The Ring Goes South
Many Meetings
The Hall of Fire's such a lovely place
With singing voices filling all the space
Which Frodo found quite restful,
But what he found the best, though,
Was seeing Uncle Bilbo's smiling face.
The Council of Elrond
Though not how he'd want it to be,
There's only one option to see:
Through darkness and gloom
To Mountain of Doom,
The ring-bearer has to be he.
The Ring Goes South
A small fellowship was arranged
That folk from all races contained.
And with time, they'd learn
Not all would return,
And all those that did would be changed.
A Journey in the Dark
The word that we have to procure
Is nothing too awfully obscure.
It's on the gate penned;
We simply say 'friend.'
It's really not very secure.
The Bridge of Khazad-dûm
Before that great, fiery mass,
Stood Gandalf, above the crevasse.
And at a great cost,
For Gandalf was lost,
The fearsome Balrog did not pass.
Lothlórien
Your caution with me is excess!
I won't have it done, not unless
You make your distrust
A bit less unjust,
And also blindfold Legolas.
The Mirror of Galadriel
Said Frodo to Lady of Trees,
"I'd give you this ring, if you please."
She cried, "A queen fair!
All'd love and despair!"
Then sighed, "Nah, I guess I'll just leave."
Farewell to Lórien
I know what I say's rather bold,
But 'name what you want,' I was told.
I only suggest it.
I'd never request it.
A strand of your hair, long and gold?
The Great River
Sam Gamgee was looking quite grim
He feared both for life and for limb.
Perhaps this great river
Would not make him quiver
If only he knew how to swim.
The Breaking of the Fellowship
But Frodo, that ring is the key
To saving my people! You see?
If you will not help,
I'll take it myself
By force, since you won't give it free.
You read my thing! That's really nice
'Cause having readers rocks!
