That was orange and as big as a cathedral

Mandos, Feanor, and Melkor all ducked to avoid it

Filled with a strange substance that smelled odd.

They raced to the Hall's elegant lobby

Glad to be rid of the two Valar

As it did not rot like a Wight who was dead
And yet still annoyed Tom Bombadill at night

When he often woke up and grabbed a light
To investigate the doings of that wight

He went barrowdowning and what did he see

Nothing but an old perky Ent! A walking, talking tree!
So he complained to the BW about this monstrosity

And the Barrow-wight answered with sage veracity:
"The Perky Ent is an oxymoron, a paradox, you see.

And the Barrow Wight just had to spew
his coffee everywhere when he heard this twaddle

And stamp his transparent feet in a large puddle
Until he realised that, as a ghost, he didn't splash

And when in anger he tried to smash
Breakable things, his hand moved right through!

And ended up in someone else’s and said, "boo"

Said the Wight to the Wightess whose hand he'd uncaressed

So she rushed through a wall with a wave and a wink.

And the Barrow-Wight began to think
About how to win the lady's ghostly heart.

PS - Gurthang, thank goodness you're here! There's been nobody but Hookbill, Elempi and I for pages now!

Edit - Er, maybe I was exaggerating, but there has been a lack of other posters.

Far back he had to think about the amorous arts,
For it had been Ages of years since he'd died

And even more years back since he first tried
To woo the heart of a lady fair

So Mr Wight ran for the hills in terror

The Wight lady lost her footing and fell

To a doom most dire, so the loremasters tell;
Her fate shrouded in mystery like Entwives

And became a legend elves tell all their lives.
