Poem: The Riders Visit

Eiko: A humourous poem invovling the Nazgul

Skye rolls eyes

The riders visit

While Hobbits loitered in a pub,
The riders came to stay.
They tried to enter the prancing pony,
But they were turned away.

"Today we run a special,
Only hobbits and dwarves allowed,
So try again tomorrow,"
Said butterbur with a frown.

The riders weren't to happy,
They plotted for a way,
To get into the pony,
Before the hobbits got away.

They knelt down in the mud,
And tied shoes to their knees,
Before crawling back to the pony,
As small as a dwarf at least.

They banged on the door which was opened,
Butterbur laughed at the sight,
Of riders passing themselves off for dwarves,
On this dark and murky night.
