I was once obsessed by Tolkiein,
But now I've kicked the Hobbit....

There was a young hobbit named Frodo
Whose kind are now dead as the dodo
He got rid of the ring
So much trouble that thing
Now he's got his eternal mojo...

A flatulent codger named Frank
Passed wind as he queued in the bank
When he made his deposit
He shuffled like a hobbit 
The stench as he left was so rank

The amazing linguist J. R. R. Tolkien -
On creating an immersive Middle Earth he was keen.
Being short, loving good food, and smoking a pipe,
he considered the hobbit to be just his type!...

Pale shape
     Down path does run
Seeking something
     Not here found
Dark of night
     Hides the flight
Of the run
     In moon light
Seeking to find
     What is not here
Pale shape
     Down path does run...

By twilight we shall reach Torchwood
to spy on an insane time lord
let's delete him
then send him
straight to Mt. Erebor
then knock out a lowly hobbit,
kidnap him
and toss him in the Tardis
Once he wakes up
we take a step back
to see what happens next!...

Tripping,
Falling,
Tripping,
Acid ride inside,
What changed?
Woodstock woman,
Living dead zombie,
What changed?
Made you give up,
The ‘deadhead’ lifestyle;
Trading for a hobbit,
A Grecian convent,
Nevermore are you;
You,
The higher path,
Married to God....

In Europe women have
A better education 
And fewer children
Then before when
They were mere housewives 
When they all have
Master degrees 
No children will be born
And they will have to 
Get them from abroad.
The white tribe
Will die out 
Just like the hobbit man...

my grand
niece has
hobbit feet

but she's
a witch so
which shall

she be
just don't
shave your

legs dear
& keep clear
of solar flares

& beware
of reading
texts & testing

what next
might happen 
& may if you play

with your toes
instead of following
where they know where

to go...

A slim handsome ogre named Vampire,
married into a fairytale empire.
His elfin wife named Hairy
bore him a sharp toothed fairy,
That looked like a Hobbit from the shire.

Much to the elves’ and Ogres’ chagrin,
they bore an impish child again.
This time being on a roll,
they bore an impish troll,
and now all the fantasy creatures are kin!

(inspired by Debbie Guzzi's contest)...

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"....

A dollup
A trollup
A mole and a troll
Free spring it and wing it 
             …reach for the loftiest goals

A habit-ish hobbit
with a knob and grommet
is wearing a rakish sneer

All grasping and gobble
 foam and fobble 

Listen! 
and you can hear

A rabbit…"Gosh nabbitt!"

A frog and a log

…all frolic, bucolic in the wondrous bog

All foggy and noggy
And wet noodle woggy

   …The Farmaduke start to caw...

A dollup…a trollup
A mole and a troll
Free spring it 
we wing it …while reaching for toffee-est loftiest goals

A habit-ish hobbit

All grasping and gobble... foam and fobble - listen and you will hear!

A rabbit…Gosh nabbitt
A frog and a log…all frolic bucolic in the wondrous bog
but get foggy and noggy 
and wet noodle woggy…

when the Farmadukes start to ...caw ...caw ...caw...

A place where I knew 
it's deepest secrets,
where gardens bloom to their own awakening
on dew drenched summer morns,
where the little old men
still hang American flags on their porches,
my small town I came back to,
home. 
And you were still there,
hibernating like a hobbit,
and in your seclusion,
you uttered the rules of matrimony to me,
a visitor from your past,
I listened to your decrees
about a game you could not handle
for more than a year....

Wielding a mighty axe
       the leader of 
     the dwarves
came to a noble end
       Yes, he was overcome 
at first 
    by greed and lust 
for gold
    Yet his heart went out
to the doughty hobbit Bilbo
after the battle of Five Armies ended
  He let his rage die
Yes, at first he was overcome
      by his desire 
for the gem of gems - the Arkenstone
Yet in the end he realized 
that real riches 
  lie in friendship 
the joy of time spent
  with those we honor and trust...
