I Suddenly Remembered My Charlemagne

(Yes, it's early. I used chocolate milk.) ;)



On the anniversary of your birth,
I'd like to thank you for Middle-earth,
For the rivers, plains and mountains of fire,
But most of all – thanks for The Shire.

The woods and fields and little streams,
The beech trees talking in their dreams,
Cosy homes with big round doors,
You made them ours, these tales of yours.

Thanks for making hobbits like us,
Quiet shy folk, who don't want a fuss,
Thanks for making us loyal and true,
Oh and thanks for the ale and pipeweed too.

For making us lively and full of tricks
And not much taller than three foot six,
For sturdy feet and woolly pates,
Second breakfast and filled up plates.

You found a place, peaceful and calm,
And filled it with wonder, magic and charm,
Although a professor, learned and wise,
You shared the world you saw through your eyes.

On hobbits' birthdays, we give things away,
And it's clear that you celebrate in the same way.
You gave us a gift more precious than gold,
A wonderful dream that will never grow old.

Have a good day, friends.

AN: Elves, I tell you. Sheesh.

Thank you. For everything.

I AM ON MY AGENCY WEBSITE: http://www.adamsliterary.com/clients/johnston/johnston.html

In other news, I am now imagining Bridget Regan as KING OF GONDOR, and it is pretty darn fantastic: http://rj-anderson.tumblr.com/post/44221889679/genderswap-lord-of-the-rings-1-15

So apparently emmy_roo's facebook friends decided that there should be Hobbit ice cream flavours. I cannot say I disagree.

My favourites include "You Shall Not Passionfruit" and "Root Boromir. For Root Boromir Floats", but there are many, many others that made me laugh very hard.

(OMG, I forgot about "They Have Agave Troll")

Hobbit Ice Cream Flavours (not made of actual Hobbits)

I kind of want to make the Mines of S'Moria. I'm not sure I want to know what goes into Radagast the Brownie.

This year, especially.

This is comment fic I wrote for thebeecharmer when she was having a bad day.

It's a short piece featuring Boromir and Pippin sometime in "The Ring Goes South" before it starts to snow too badly.

You can find it here.

AN: While in a bed and breakfast in Edinburgh, Rachel suggested that we should do flash fic. She then became rather angry, because both Amy and I wrote something that could almost be considered a story, instead of just cranking out something as crack-ish as possible. This one actually is Amy’s fault, as she is the one who gave me the prompts. (Amy's story is here)

Please keep in mind that I wrote this in approximately five minutes.

For: eldanna, who got me in; shirebound, who keeps me going, marigoldg who is generally awesome, and EVERYONE ELSE because it's Christmas.

AN: I wrote this on the plane on the way home for Christmas. It just kind of appeared on the page. I love it when that happens. I’ve never tried writing Sam before. I don’t think it’s half bad.

This, in a dramatic break with tradition, is entirely bookverse.

Disclaimer: I write the story but the ideas are all in the head of the Professor and none of them are mine.

Summary: Samwise Gamgee was gardener born.
