A HOBBIT EPILOGUE OR SO

 

here's to hobbits young and old

sheep all counted, in the fold

sheep all in, and star in sky

baby hobbits, lullaby!

may our pantries last and last.

heaven is approaching fast.

birthdays brighter year by year

we will go on living here

for six hundred years or more

filling jampots by the score

baking cakes and little pies

mugs of cider, no goodbyes.

have your wish and make no sparing

hobbit, elf and elven fairy

no more wandering left to do

roam no more in pointy shoes.

hang new curtains if you must

but please don't disturb our dust

we are home and home to stay

happy hobbits made of clay

in our souls the shire will shine

no more hills and scares in Time

no more journey just be still

happy how our lives were filled

hobbit haven heaven home

so at last! no more to roam.
