Never Say 'The End'

I don't own LotR. Duh.

Don't ever say 'the end',
Because the book is never done.
Never say 'good-bye',
Then turn around and run.

When you close the cover
On the last page of a book,
Your mind is still filled with the story,
You want to go back again and look.

You go to bed that night,
After ending *Return of the King*,
You fall asleep with hobbits in your head,
And dwarves and Elves that sing.

You wish the story would go on,
And in your dreams you make it so.
You run with the Fellowship, lunch with the hobbits,
And you, like so many others, wish to never go.

But you eventually wake up,
Sad because it really *is* over now.
But you spy a simple notebook labled 'Fanfiction',
And joy resurges your soul until you almost have a cow.

So you write fanfics,
Where they all get back together,
Where Frodo finds a girl,
Where you join them in their world.

So never say 'the end'.
Don't you dare!
Because the story's never over,
And they'll always be there.

For every single person who's ever cried over the last chapter of Return of the King, like I did, not only because it was a sad and unsatisfying ending but because it was over.

For all the Fanfiction.Net authors and authoresses, none of which have ever let the words 'the end' limit them.

And for those who, like me as well, take the words 'the end' as a personal fanfic challenge.

Sorry I haven't been posting anything lately, but I'm in our school's play this year (Boogie Woogie Bugle Girls) and I've had literally *no* time to write since we have practices until six every night now. *_* It's very tiring...
