The Barrow-Downs Patriotic Stuff Thread! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

TGEW and I noticed the appaling lack of one. Thus, here is our contribution:

We are Barrow wights
We do what we please
But only
When The Barrow-Wight
Himself says "apple".
We're dead
Already, so
We fear
Not a thing
We're wights
Of the Downs,
And we can do anything.

Calling all Tolkienites
To come join our ranks
Of wights
All Night
We haunt those living folk.
Werewolves,
Journalists,
Meat makers
And priests
All live here
On the Downs
And we agree:

Tolkien is great!
And we should follow the lead
Of Soap Pope
Barrow-Wight
There are no guarantees
You won't be
Stabbed in the back
Or elected King
So come!
Have fun!
And drink lots
Of tea!

And we'd love to see yours! We'd also like to see Pledges of Allegiance

I pledge alligence to the Downs
and to the Barrow Wight Himself
and to all the Wights who live in the Downs
undead, underground, utterly bribeable, with soap and meat products for all.

and flags

What? I didn't make one of those.

And anything else you come up with!

Don't you just love national anthems?

Anthems? Did someone say national anthems?

Ahem!

Hark all to the National Anthem of the Barrow-Downs!

This is how I justify staying up till midnight for the past few days.

The Mordorion National Anthem (With apologies to Wm. Blake)

Did hobnail boots from Morgul Vale
Walk up the crags to Orodruin;
And was the home of Uruk-hai
In Mordor's ill-fed wrack and ruin!

And did the Dark Lord's dread design
Spew forth upon the countless hordes?
And was Barad-dur builded here
Among the slag heaps of Mordor?

Bring me my bow all ebon' stained;
Bring me my chain mail rusted hard:
Bring me my spear with poison tip!
Bring me my crooked scimitar!

I shall not sleep in Lugbúrz's shade
Until a Tark dies by my sword!
And we rebuild tall Barad-dur
Among the slag heaps of Mordor!
