TEAM Vs. Dolla 49 McRib

 TEAM is Tom Bombadil, Huorn #1-4, & Conner Weidman.


Dolla 49 McRib is 6 Cave Trolls, 4 Balrogs, Nazghul #3 w/ Fell Beast, & 9 Dead Men of Dunharrow.  


Today we shall conduct a match in honor of the songs of Tolkien that so guided his literary works; but were largely left out of the cinematic versions. 


This bit of poetic prose should be sung to the tune of......  Well, to the tune of whatever you want; just make it whimsical, with feeling.




Hey dol! Merry dol!  Ring a dong a dillo!
Ring a dong! Hop along! fa lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!

[Tom answers]:

I'm Tom, Merry Tom Ringing the dong a dillo!
Awakened Tom, Morning Friends, Risen from the pillow!
Tom Bom, I'm Tom, Tom Bombadillo!  

Here to save the Shire Folk from Rock Trolls of the East!
Save the lads from fire foes, dead men, and a fell beast!

The Huorns may be stuck in soil, stationary, with places ner to go!
They defeat the trolls with size and might in a handed bit of ratio!
The Huorns are protectors of the tiny folk of The Shire!
But still succumb sadly to the Balrogs and their fire! 

Hurry may and hurry might, with so little time for singing!
Goldberry has gone on errand and I hear the pub bells ringing!
Awaiting for me is me friend, not too far tis Conner my best crony!
He sits at table waiting for me Tom at The Prancing Pony!

Tis such a rush before me now, late is of the hour!
But descendants of the Old Great Took are needing of my power!
Trouble has befallen them, evil, fierce, and quite a power show!
But Middle earth has protection from Tom Bom Tom Bombadillo!

The Wraith finds his ring is about to shatter and to crack! 
And his poor Fell Beast comes to ground with broken back!
The Dead Men have been relieved from the spell of the king of old!
And returned to their noble traits so let the stories be of them told!
The Balrogs are a frightening lot terrorizing Halflings of the meadows!
But merry, old Tom Bobadil casts them back into the shadows.

You have a good team Conner. Not just this week; but as a whole. You had a rough year; but you can get plenty of revenge next season.
