Where he hoped to find some Hobbits to eat

Yet soon he had to rest his tired feet.
But some Rangers saw him sleeping

And the thief stole a relic, dusty and old.

The thief was Bingo, a bad orphan
Bilbo refused to adopt for he'd found another

One who'd lost his father and mother
In a boating accident on the Brandywine

And had half-round, half-pointy ears

On his seemingly accursed hovel and Barrow

"Why are you laughing?" the lion wailed
