Limericks for Legolas

There once was this Mirkwood guy
He shot arrows at Uruk-hai
Even while they were fightin'
You know he was sightin'
To make sure that all orcs would die!


Have you heard of those elvish chappies,
The ones who so lack in the happies?
Well, the one we adore
Would now like to explore
Cheerless forests in way-off-the-mappies.
- Flip the Supercat
legolas the prince of mirkwood
dont compare him to robin hood
both dressed in green tights
both were good in a fight
but leggy would kick robin good!
Legolas is a hard name to rhyme
And I fear i am running out of time
so let me just say
in the thick of the fray
his knife skills are what did shine

and now to my bed i head off
leaving you all to lightly scoff
at my lighthearted attempt
to rhyme for this gent
and my vain attempt to show off
(not really, but i needed a rhyme!)

There once was an elf from Mirkwood,
Who slew all the Orcs that he could;
Not a hair out of place,
His style and grace,
Stopped them dead in their tracks where they stood!
-Old Toby
Hickory dickory delf
Please meet Leggy the Elf
While he'll pretend
That dwarf's not his friend
He always puts him before himself.
- Aunt Kimby

There once was an elf named Legolas
Who carried himself with some class
Tall and proud he stood
The Prince of Mirkwood
And with a bow he was incredibly fast.
There once was an elf named Legolas
Who's bow was deadly fast
His tread sure and light
far reaching was his sight
and he was as old as the ages past.
- boriel
There once was an elf named Legolas.
Who had wild adventures that were fabulous,
He shot fine with a bow,
but as we all know,
he wounded far more hearts with his baby blues.
- The Foe Hammer

Sure Shot

He picked up his bow,
And walked over the snow.
Shot the giant cave troll,
And wicked orcs in the hall.
"Come on hobbits, to Lothlorien we go"

Another...

Oh the nasty old orcs, raced along the river,
As Legolas pulled his arrows from their quiver
His shots always rang true
Dropping trolls like the flu
And giving his enemies a case of the shivers!
- Shelob

There once was a Prince so fair
Who had such handsome blonde hair
That would stay in place
No matter where he raced
While performing bow shots with flair.
- Dinledhwen

Legolas Greenleaf was one
of Thranduil King's favorite sons,
As one of the nine
He fought very fine
not even one braid came undone!

The Counting Game Limerick

There once were two friends who begun
A counting game they thought would be most fun
Then the Elf was in the lead
When he brought down an Oliphant steed
Until the Dwarf said “That still counts as only one!”
- Dinledhwen
