by Simbo Rumblebelly Who ploughed up the field? Who planted the seed? Who scared off the crows? Who dug up the weeds? And when harvest came Who cut down the corn And ground it to flour From dusk until dawn? Who raised all the cattle From calf until cow? Who tended the pigs From piglet to sow? Who made them a shelter From rain and from heat? Who sold them at market Their milk and the meat? Who tended the garden Where grew all the veg The taters and carrots With herbs round the edge? Who kept it all watered And chased off the slugs? And when they all ripened Who dug them all up? Who cut up the logs From woods in The Shire? Who scooped up the coal To put on the fire? The veg and the meat Who sliced, diced and chopped To place in a tray With pastry on top? Who placed on the table This pie that I see? For so many hobbits Did help make my tea! So think of this pie It's more than a treat It's all of The Shire That makes it so sweet Some information about the artist: Master Simbo is a famous poet around the Shire.

He is a regular visitor of the Green Dragon, where on fridaynights he may be found willing to recite some of his work. Master Simbo is also a gifted musician and actor.
