Like Bilbo

I would like to live in a house in the The Shire;
sit upon the stoop, smoke a pipe, blow fancy rings
          into the air.

I would like to go adventuring; slay the dragon,
retrieve it's hoard of gold, become a legend.

I would like to live to one hundred and eleven,
celebrate, then disappear.


Inspired by the adventures of Bilbo Baggins the Hobbit in JRR Tolkien's "The Fellowship of the Ring".

Those are beautiful movies! How funny too is the beginning where all these people barge into his quiet home…such is where adventure begins and one chooses whether to befriend it!
