The Long-Expected Party

based on the book, ‘The Lord of the Rings’ by J.R.R. Tolkien

A grand event was being planned,
Excitement spread throughout the land,
The little hobbits could hardly wait,
For the grand party Bilbo would make.
It was said that the wizard of ancient lore,
Would come to his door,
Gandalf and his fire-works bright,
Would make the brilliant party blaze with light.
Underneath the great old tree,
Hobbits scurried here and there,
Making ready the great night,
In which all would take delight.
At last the day had come!
It had seemed it never could,
Yet now it was here,
And hobbits came from far and near.
Old Master Baggins sat there,
A smile covering his kindly face,
He was liked well by all,
Though was withal,
A rather odd old hobbit.
Then he rose to make a speech,
The hobbits ceased their noise,
The little ones put down their gilded toys,
And prepared to be bored,
With some tale of dragons,
Or an old dwarvish hoard.
Yet the got nothing of the like,
He thanked him for coming that night,
And then there was a flash of light,
