In response to the challenge
issued by Daughter of Kings at Texas Moot:
Write on any topic you choose… it
doesn’t even have to be LOTR-themed. However, your work must contain
the following phrases as they are written:
• Elves at Helm’s Deep
• “Fire a warning shot across the
bow.”
• Tom Bombadil?
• mountain of skulls
• his name is Brego
• “You’ll have to toss me.”
• Eowyn’s stew

If I live to be a hundred and find I cannot sleep
I’ll remember how I cried to see Elves at Helm’s Deep.
When I lived on a farm in the valley and cared for a sow and cow,
I never found reason to shout, “Fire a warning shot across the bow.”
I’d need a hunter’sskill
To find Tom Bombadil.
“Oh, the big rock candy mountain.”
“No, Aragorn, it’s not a mountain of candy. It’s a mountain of skulls.”
His name is Brego
Brave: Stayed with me to the end
Runner: Like the wind through the plains of Rohan
Enthusiastic: I can scarce hold him when the mood fills him
Great: Not like a Maia – no, better
Obey: Me to the death
Aragorn:
“Say, say, oh playmate,
Come out and play with me
And bring your brothers three
Climb up my mallorn tree.”
Haldir:
“Say, say, oh Strider,
I cannot play with you
An orc has skewered me through
Boo hoo boo hoo hoo hoo.”
Gimli:
“You’ll have to toss me
To make me play with you
Your clothes are full of goo
Your hair needs washing too.”
Legolas:
“Ain’t got no hairbrush
Ain’t got no shampoo too
So I will play with you
Forever more…..”
When the sky was black and the winter winds blew
I said I’d love you – till I ate Eowyn’s stew.
*shudders*
