Bilbo's Nursery Rhyme for Merry and Pippin

This is a nursery rhyme which Bilbo wrote especially for Merry and Pippin and first appeared in Moria's Revenge: The highlighted words are the ones that Pippin learned to join in with and would shout out when he was a baby.

"Little Pippin and Merry
Have hippity hobbity feet,
Little fat, round tummies,
And never enough to eat.
Their ears are sharp and pointy,
On their heads they've curly hair,
Turned up noses, turned down toeses
And they come as a pair!

Little Pippin and Merry
Went to catch a fish,
But all they had to put it in
Was a big pie dish.
They lifted up the pie crust
and laid the fish upon it,
But with a shout, the fish jumped out,
With a piecrust bonnet!

Little Pippin and Merry
Went to the summer fair,
But all they had to ride upon
Was a pony mare.
They saddled up the pony
With the Thain's best shirt
She gave a prance and began to dance,
In her pretty pony skirt!

Little Pippin and Merry
Went to buy a bun
But when they counted out their pence
All they had was none.
They smiled nicely at the baker
And said "Good Morning," twice
He said "Good Day, now go away,"
Which was very good advice.

Little Pippin and Merry
Tried to sing this song,
But when they jumbled up the words,
The song came out all wrong.
The sounds all tasted funny,
And the rhymes all smelled of cheese,
They couldn't recall, the tune at all,
And then it made them sneeze!

Atishoo! Atishoo! Ah-Tish-Shooo!
