Had to reread this, it being Christmas and all.

It's a real classic: meter, humor, wonderful rhymes. Major kudos!

I adore it! I may just have to commit it to memory and sing it around the house. It has so many great lines but two of my favorites are:

'Just how long can that Frodo take to dump the flaming Ring?'
and
'So she and Merry kill him off, cause that’s what friends are for.'

Very amusing all around. Thanks for sharing it.

Author Reply: The Frodo line was my favourite, too. I had "blooming ring", but my husband was quite right to replace it with "flaming". Thanks for reviewing.

Your dh's version certainly has a certain panache...

cause that’s what friends are for. and he's dead, for pity's sake!

*snork*

Very funny and clever! I could hear the music in my head as I was reading.

The nazgûl hovers mightily among the blood and gore.

But Dernhelm takes his helmet off and lo! ‘twas drag she wore!

So she and Merry kill him off, cause that’s what friends are for.




Bwa-ha-haaaaah! Oh, the whole song is delightful, but this part just had me laughing out loud and noisily. Of course, in LOTR, that's what friends are for, to battle a mega-spider for one, or stab the boss Ringwraith in the ankle -hobbits do make great friends!

Very well done!



Author Reply: Thanks, I confess it wasn't exactly hard to write...

Ah--but I have giggled so over this one! Hilarious, and so very apropos! Sorry the husband's addition didn't work--it would have been quite the addition, I'm certain!

Author Reply: Ah, Finlay can live with it. Glad I gave you a laugh.

I liked this one! Very good!

Author Reply: Thanks! I wonder if this will remain the only marital co-production in my household.
