The Lord of the Rings

Out of all the hobbits who lived in the Shire
It was Biblo Baggins who found the ring of fire.
He escaped from old Gollum who lived in a cave
And adopted an heir who was very brave.
After Bilbo's 111th birthday,
He used the ring to take a permenant holiday.

Gandalf taught Frodo about the ring and it's power,
Which Sauron had made near the Dark Tower.
Frodo knew he must leave Bag End,
But on the way he took his friend.
With Sam at his side and sorrow in his heart,
The two of them shall never part.

On the way they met Merry and Pippen,
Who were in Maggot's crop, stealin' and pickin'.
Their journey began while traveling to Bree,
Where they saw Dark Riders and began to flee.
They were to meet Gandalf at the local inn,
Because to them he was like kin.

But Gandalf did not show and they wondered why?
Could he be dead? Or did he Die?
Instead they met a mysterious ranger
Who tried to keep them away from danger.
His task was to lead them to Rivendell,
An elven city where all things dwell.

On their way they met some unexpected friends,
A party of nine whom King Sauron sends.
They stabbed Frodo with one of their swords,
And he started to fade towards the Dark Lord.
But just in time when all hope was out,
Arwin came without a doubt.

She rode with Frodo and drew her sword,
As she raced across the ford.
The power of Elrond sent a great wave of water,
To stop the Wraiths and save his daughter.
The strength of Elrond saved Frodo's life,
And healed the wound made by the knife.

When he woke Gandalf was there,
And he asked him questions, leaving nothing to spare.
When he was healthy he was summoned to a meeting,
In which everyone gave him a merry greeting.
The council, however, was no ordinary thing.
It was created to discuss issues of the Ring.

Strider was soon discovered to be no mere man,
He was the King of Gondor and was to rule the land.
Then there was Legolas, an attractive elf,
Who shoots arrows and has immortal health.
There is also Gimli, a dwarf with an attitude,
And only to elves does he act very rude.

The decision was made to take the ring South,
Where Gandalf met his end in a fiery mouth.
Despair filled their hearts and all hope was lost,
For everything comes with a certain cost.
Soon the company met the Lady of the Wood,
She was mysterious, her face shadowed by a hood.

They left the land of Lorien on three little boats,
And they were all wrapped up in elven cloaks.
When they got to shore, Frodo left on his own,
Boromir attacked him, and showed his true side that was never known.
Frodo put on the ring and went out of site,
And Boromir tried to find him with all his might.

Aragorn found him and told him to go,
Because Sting,Frodo's sword, was beginning to glow.
The company was fighting hard and brave,
Especially Boromir, defending the hobbits he was trying to save.
But in the end, Boromir died,
With Aragorn his king, by his side.

Sadly the orcs captured Merry and Pippin,
Who were soon to get a very big whippin'.
Frodo set off, all alone,
But Sam followed him, and would not go home.
They were to go to Mordor and destroy the ring,

While the rest of the company was to rescue the hobbits from the domain of the Dark King.
