Hobbit

It's a wonderful day
And now everyone's here
So we give a loud cheer
As the pair come this way
We're all wearing our smiles
As they walk down the aisle
It's a wonderful day
And the Hobbits all sing
Let the Wedding bells ring

((TBC))

There lived a merry Hobbit Lad
He kept a merry hole
And every day he liked to go
For merry little strolls

So putting on his merry hat
And with a merry smile
He wandered down the garden path
To walk a merry mile

And so, the Michel Delving road
He made his way along
Whilst whistling at the merry birds
All singing merry songs

He went into the market square
To buy some merry fruit
But whilst he shopped he heard a sound
A merry strumming lute

Now Hobbits can be fond of words
And tell tales all the time
But what I'd really like to see
Are hobbits writing rhymes!

So listen to this poem here
It teaches things to you
And by the time the poem's done
You'll write your own ones too!

Before you start to think of words
And writing verses out
You firstly have to pick a theme
What will it be about?

And will it be a funny work
Or serious or sad?
Or maybe one with heroes in
Or one to make you glad?

The Rhyme of the Ancient Hobbit

Part One

And there the ancient hobbit sits
With many gathered round
Much silence in the Inn that night
There hardly was a sound
And then the Gaffer thumps his mug
His eyes looked sharp and mean
"I'll tell ye all about the Inn,
And why the Dragon's green!"

"So long ago, I was a lad"
Was how his tale began
"I worked the pits in Scary town
It toughened up these hands
