LORD of the RINGS LIMERICKS by Graeme King

MAIN LIMERICKS INDEX

 

When Bilbo gave Frodo the ring

he didn’t explain anything

but Gandalf knew best

they went on a quest

to see the Return of the King!

 

The tavern in Bree served them wine

the Hobbits thought that was divine

young Pippin and Merry

got tipsy on sherry

but Strider put them back in line!

 

The Elves rescued Frodo, hooray!

But then sent him into the fray

“Poor Middle Earth’s stuffed

and we’ve had enough

we’re all nicking off, anyway!”

 

When Gandalf fell down to the pit

the audience thought that was it

but he’ll be all right

and come back in white

the sequel is already writ!

 

The Hobbits were missing the Shire

and Gollum was raising Sam’s ire

but Frodo was boss

despite double-cross

they needed to find Mount Doom’s fire.

 

In Isengard Orcs forged their swords

to fight for their evil dark lords

all ugly as sin

but keen to begin

the killing of men in their hordes!

 

The riders of Rohan were hot

they found Orcs and murdered the lot

their King had gone mad

he was Faramir’s Dad

(quite frankly, he should have been shot!)

 

Our wizard and Saruman fought

but Gandalf got rather distraught

“I reckon he cheated

his spells are so heated

remember, I’m only self-taught!”

 

What Saruman did was illegal

but Gandalf flew off on an eagle

meanwhile, on the track

to Mordor and back

young Frodo got chummy with Smeagol!

 

When Sauron looked out through his eye

an eyeball appeared in the sky

one Orc said: “Oh dear,

he’s injured, I fear

I think he’s developed a sty!

 

Right into Helm’s deep Orcs did pour

ten thousand or possibly more

the Dwarf bravely fought

but had only one thought:

to beat Legolas with his score!

 

Legolas the brave handsome Elf

told Gimli to go stuff himself

the Dwarf, so it seems

was the man of his dreams

but had fallen in love with Gandalf!

 

In to the dark forest they went

two Hobbits with one same intent

to venture inside

and go for a ride

in the shoulders of Treebeard, the Ent!

 

Poor Eowyn cried, so forlorn

her heart stolen by Aragorn

but Arwen was first

the poor man was cursed

the Elf Princess gave him a horn!
