Are You the Burglar Or Bilbo Revisited
Were you offered an adventure
past the gateway to the lake
for a share of golden treasure?
What decision did you make?
Were you captured by some hungry Trolls
while spying all alone?
Did the magic in the sunlight
turn your enemies to stone?
Did you travel on a pony
through the mountains in the spring?
Did you really riddle Gollum?
Did you dare to steal his ring?
Do you know the King of Eagles?
Were you once his honored guest?
Did you travel through the forest
with King Thorin and the rest?
Did you ride the running river
on a barrel made of wood?
Did you really tease a dragon?
Did it do you any good?
Do you live in Hobbit comfort
with the money that you made?
Do you boast of how the Goblins
and the spiders fear your blade?
Will you now forsake adventures?
Have you put away your sting?
Are you still the only burglar
for the Wizard and the King?
Were you truly born the only son
of Belladonna Took?
Or are you simply lost in an
extraordinary book?
