By Simbo Rumblebelly Now Hobbits can be fond of words And tell tales all the time But what I'd really like to see Are hobbits writing rhymes! So listen to this poem here It teaches things to you And by the time the poem's done You'll write your own ones too! Before you start to think of words And writing verses out You firstly have to pick a theme What will it be about? And will it be a funny work Or serious or sad? Or maybe one with heroes in Or one to make you glad? One featuring our Shire home Should brighten up your mood But personally my favourites Are poems praising food! Now take a quill and paper sheet And write out words that rhyme For poems will have rhyming words Although a good few don't This little poem that I tell It has a simple rhyme There's just one pair of matching words The fourth and second lines The poem has a rhythm too It's like a beating drum A simple beat will work quite well da-dum da-dum da-dum It's time to start your poem now So write out all those lines The words should flow quite naturally It shouldn't take much time! And once your poem is complete There's one more thing to do Is find a group of hobbit folk To read your poem to So, everybody here today Your poems should be heard It’s good to share with everyone The wonder of your words!
