I really like my wizard friend
He came to visit me again
He brought twelve dwarves but that's okay
But do not with my dishes play!
They think I should a burglar be!
I'd rather have a cup of tea.
To Lonely Mountain should I go?
I can't decide. Oh no, oh no
We camped and there discussed our roles
But now we're overrun with trolls!
Gandalf, damn it, where'd you go?
They're going to eat us, this I know.
And now the trolls are arguing
A fight that might salvation bring
The sun's first light has touched the sky
And trolls to stone are turned thereby.
We've now arrived at Rivendell
Where Elrond and the Elves do dwell
Our map has secrets yet unsealed
By Elrond's hand they're now revealed
Oh good! We're Misty Mountains bound
Oh bad! By goblins we are found
I'm best off fleeing underground
And lo! This ring was lying 'round
I tucked the ring inside my vest
A strange thing wants a riddle-fest
It turns into a hard contest
...Escaping with the ring is best
Well, twelve dwarves are now impressed
in Beorn's house we take our rest
So on we into Mirkwood go!
Giant. Fucking. Spiders. No.
And now the wood-elves have a quarrel
Into a dungeon, out in a barrel
Laketown's far more welcoming
But much desiring Smaug-slaying
I find the door, the passage in
I find my courage to begin
The dragon speaks; I answer back
See one small space his armor lacks
He's really mad about this cup
He's going to burn Laketown up
The Thrush will bring the warning whole
The dragon and its armor's hole
But Bard has his black arrow ready
His aim is true, his hand is steady
The arrow flies, the dragon falls
The dwarves reclaim their ancient halls
All should be well! We've won the day...
The men demand the dwarves should pay
For damage done unto their town
Thorin scowls and turns them down
And now a siege? The hell is this?
This Arkenstone they shouldn't miss
The men could take this and be done
A reward for a battle won
But wait! Thorin is much dismayed
He says I have the dwarves betrayed!
He orders me to go away
As Dain, his cousin, arrives today
Gandalf returns but with a warning
The goblins and the worgs are forming
An army 'gainst both dwarf and man
So I guess we're out of the frying pan
The elves have come as well I see
They all ally as armies three
To set the goblin army back
but air support is what they lack
Oh look! We now have eagles too!
Wings and talons, much to do!
The battle's turned, the goblins broken
And Thorin's final words are spoken
We part as friends, I take small share
For treasure I have little care
Why not more? Gandalf inquires
But this is plenty in the Shires.
And now my story's done, dear friend
We have reached the very end
I suppose I might a book begin
Of going There and Back Again
