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
