41. Gollum
Author’s note:
As well as the usual disclaimer, please note that this is based on “Cloudy,” written by Paul Simon, performed by Simon & Garfunkel. Sung by Bilbo in the caves during The Hobbit.
*******
Gollum
His skin is greenish and quite loathsome,
Sometimes I think he has no teeth, just gums.
And it’s strange to see him smile.
His expression full of bile
Though he thinks he’s full of guile.
I’ll play his game and go back to the Dwarves in a short while.
Gollum
His cave is lightless and his pool glum,
Even the Orcs would call it a slum.
This game he does compel.
So we riddles each will tell.
And whichever does most well
He will have the prize he wishes and the other bid farewell.
Hey Balin
Remember lucky number fourteen.
Where have you Dwarves escaped to unforeseen?
These riddles that I try
Are ending in a tie.
And I’m worried I might die.
I can’t think of another so I’ll have to be more sly.
Gollum,
Gollum.
