Can You Teel Me the Way To Middle Earth?

Friend - Can you show me the way to Middle Earth? Enough of this century of angst and warfare My desire is to see elves singing in the twilight The creations of the dwarves beckon to me and I understand their love of mirthril Friend - please point me in the direction of the Last Homely House My longing to see Elrond and Arwen Evenstar is something I can barely control Does your map show the way to Lothlorien? Celeborn and Galadriel still reign in that enchanted wood I pine to see mallorn trees Do you know the way to the Shire? I want to be there in early autumn When the harvests are in And I would like to quaff cold Shire - Ale With any Baggins, Took or Gamgee who will drink with me Friend - Please show me the way to Middle Earth
