December 16 - 9 nervous Nazgûl: 5. Eru Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - by Agape4Gondor
Eru Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
In Gondor there are gentlemen
Arrayed as Knights in glory
In the Shire there are Halflings
Who love a good night story.
In Rohan there are Rohirrim
Who love their horses more – y
And – all come to Crickhollow for a bath, for a bath
And – all come to Crickhollow for a bath.
('bout time some would say of a certain Ranger)

They never pass their borders.

Tell tales of Mordor's
Fell beasts, ringwraiths, and wraiths on wings
All kinds of foul, stinking Lord – ors
And – Galadriel she brings her pitcher full, pitcher full
And – Galadriel she brings her pitcher full.
In the Barrow-downs the barrow wights

Ents – walking tall - I've missed the lot
Oh and Dwarves – I'm very sorry - Beornings, Maier, Wild Men,
Orcs – spiders – Urak-hai –
But I'll drop down dead before I say anything about that Gollum-y creature, Gollum-y creature)
Yes, I'll drop down dead before I say anything about that Gollum.)
