Where he shook from bone to marrow
All the while Hobbits stole all his food

Which put him into a terrible mood,
So that he felt he needed a vacation

So he packed up his bags and sailed to a nation
Far in the sunny southern seas.

Where he caught a nasty disease
And began to smell of dead fish

Being blind, he felt for a dish
of cod which would not have worked

As the Wight began to weep out loud

Because, he now knew, no place could be found,
Where Hobbits did not find and terrorize him.

Tormented the poor Wight's soul

Yet found that it tasted as awful as ever

And agreed with Gollum that he would rather
Not eat at all then munch on an orc.

He was not like Gandalf who had pork
and ate while in Saruman's best shed

Which meant that nothing had changed

But, before we speak a whole string of curses,
We'll tell you how the Elves were awakened.

And how, once awake, they were hastened
One summer's eve, to trek into the West.

For, t'was said, Manwe's Barbeques are best
So they all wanted to get there before Melkor

Always ate half the burgers at every divine party.

He would then drink all the red and white wines
Becoming increasingly violent and unsociable

Though Vana* pleaded, his ire was not negotiable

But in great anger and annoyance the sun cried,
"He hath such a hide that maketh the blood boil"

And so she began to toil
To sunburn the unwary Melkor

And from the evil brow, the sweat began to pour,
Until he looked down and cried, "Curse the dark depths of Thangorodrim! Now I need a higher SPF!"

So he soaked himself in 80 proof oil.

Then he began to roll around in the soil
Making the worms feel more nervous

But Melkor sure felt impervious
To the sun's scorching rays

So, it was not long before everyone else joined in

Except for Arien, who with haughty chin
Turned her back and caused an eclipse

She sat in the sky, with pouty lips,
Refusing to join the dance below

Tilion was mooning over Vana!

And the Monkey-Clown-King took a great fall
And landed at sweet Vana's feet

And sweet Vana offered him a seat
right next to her stable-boy

To get the monkey to sit on a pin

But the monkey had a rump of tin!
He barely felt the pointy needle
