Frodo's Journey

A little boy
with red cheeks he was
funny he was
and solemn too

Son of Drogo he was
He lost his parents
in his childhood.
Playful he was
Liked mushrooms
Which he stole from Maggot's farms

After his loss
Reared in the Brandy Hall
Grew he to youth
And friends he had so less
Used to spend time with his uncle
Bilbo the elf-friend

To Hobbiton he went and made many friends
Samwise it was his closest
who was the son of his gaffer
Together they strolled
And saw many things
Weird he was
after Bilbo

A party they had
of bilbo's birthday
On September the twenty second
Fortunately it was
that it was also his birthday
on the same day

Fun they had and danced
speech he listened
And talks he had
With Gandalf the Grey

Sad was he when bilbo left
Inherited he did the ring
But the ring was doom
of men and elves
certainty of evil things

Gandalf left
telling him to keep it safe
For years he grew and
was said as cracking
like uncle bilbo who was cracked
as the neighbours said

Gandalf came later
A wizard he was they say
With ponted hats and a grey staff
An old man was

He said to Frodo
That the ring was evil and he had to let go
He asked him to leave the Shire
The shire was it the home town of him
who had played in the shire for long years

The years were happy but now it was sad
He left the shire with samwise and pippin and merry
his friends
To the old forest they went
Picked up by a willow
troubled he was
called out for help

Came a man
Journey they made to his house
Tales he listened and tales he told
of men and farther lands

Barrow-downs was the place even he went
Striked the wightsses hand
To bree he went also to the inn of the pony
And there many beer he had
Sang he tales
Disappeared he was
MAgician he was regarded.

Shunned after they set with a man
for their company
Lands he strode
To weathertop he went
Stabbed he was
by the witch king
Saved he was at rivendell
By Elrond the Great


A council took
Joined he to the fellowship
Planning to destroy the ring
Set out he did
Through Caradhras and moria he went
And saw the wizard
fighting a flame

To lothlorien he went
Welcomed by Galadriel
The lady of the woods
A sorceress she was every one said

Rivers he knew and
Argonath he saw
Left the Fellowship there
For he sensed
Evil at work it was
Through the hills and marshes
He went with Gollum
The sneak

To the black gates he came
IT would not open.
He went south
For he knew there a road was
near the evil city
Captured he was
by a dunedain he says
but he showed his quality
and that was the very best

Crossed the mountains of shadow he did
to the towers of cirith ungol
Shelob he fought
but poisoned he was
and captured by the orcs

The mails were taken
And sauron commanded him be bought to justice
But escaped he did
Wearing now the orc mails
he strode the lands of mordor
with samwise the friend
he came to doom
The mountain where the ring fell

The evil banished
The evil stemmed
Frodo was the saviour
Healed he was of all shadows

Returned to shire after great journeys
But his did not lessen
He wanted to feel his heart at rest
But he could not
Months later when he had finished a book
He went to the west
To the west he went with elves
To see a far green country.
