The Fellowship Delight
Let's begin back in Hobbiton,
With the hobbit kin and their closest friends.
Down in Bag End, Bilbo Baggins
Has cards to send 'cuz once again
Its Bilbo's birthday; he's having a party,
With the big ass buffet and fireworks display,
But to their dismay, there is delay
Then Bilbo goes "Yo! I gots something to say
"Hey, my dear people," he had begun,
"This year is the year I turn eleventy-one
So, all you Tooks and Brandybucks, Grubbs and Chubbs,
Even Sackville Scrubs, Can you feel my love, ya'll
"I won't stall and I'll keep this short,
There's another birthday that I wanna report,
It's Frodo as you know, my heir of sorts,
Who gets Bag End whenever I depart,
"And there's no time like the present, it's pleasant
I'm quite content but I must lament
That the time I spent with you shire folks,
Was much too short but I'm ain't making no jokes
"'Cuz I love you blokes and I love these Oaks,
And I love the smokes but this is not a hoax,
For you must allow that the time is now,
For me to take my bow. Goodbye!" - Pow!
Then a flash of light and he goes outta sight
The entire shire talked about the flight
"Where the hell did he go? That is so not polite."
Some thought he ought to try and act more right
"I wonder why he fled," some hobbits said
Then a rumor was spread that Bilbo was dead,
"I don't know," said Frodo and celebrated instead
And everyone agreed he's messed up in the head
'Cuz Frodo son of Drogo is Baggins by blood,
Mysterious, I'm serious he's not like he should be
Decent folk worry; you know how Baggins be
Bragging about Dragons and nagging the community
With stories of glories (even Dori's and Ori's)
Giving folks all these worries about hidden inventories
Of gold they've got holed up in loads of big stacks,
I suppose there were those who know all of the facts
But Frodo left to go back to Crickhollow
Sold all his stuff and all his friends followed
Sammy and Merry and Pippin Took too
Even Fatty Bolger and that whole little crew
Actually, you see, there's this conspiracy
Where Frodo's friends agreed to get him to Bree,
Before they'd even left home they'd already known,
He'd try to run off and do it all on his own.
The whole time he was whining and bitching and moaning
So they said "stop lying we know where you're going.
There's no use denying or even postponing
Our hiding and spying has left us all knowing."
"Ahh? I love all you guys, you're true allies
I only hope I can cope if one of you dies."
And Fatty said "Well, I'm saying my goodbyes
I'm gonna stay right here and finish off these fries.
"Relax and kick back; hang out and chill
Hide from black riders so I don't get killed
Good luck with that quest there, Mr. Underhill
And give my regards to Tom Bombadil."
So the rest left for Bree (except for Fatty)
They hung out with Tom and Goldberry
And got rescued from a tree and then finally,
They ended up in the Inn called "The Prancing Pony"
