The Lyrics

I wrote this for the AGES contest...we were supposed to write about another culture...and I figure if any culture deserves to be celebrated, it's the culture of my favorite little halflings.

This, however, is especially for 2nz...who, from a comment he left on a parody of mine earlier this week, seems to fear that I've forgotten my roots. Don't be silly, 2nzy. You can take the Elf Princess out of Rivendell...but you can't take Rivendell out of the Elf Princess. =)
They make their homes in a hilly terrain
Oh so short, but I don’t complain
I love ‘em still
My dreams fulfill
Hearts so spacious, guys from the Shire!

They don’t wear shoes and their feet are so hairy
They’re pretty tough but NE-ver scary!
I like ‘em small
We have a ball
Cute, flirtatious, guys from the Shire!

Bein’ lazy
Mmmm…feels good!
They go crazy
If…they find their gardens won’t grow like they should
For wine…they pine
If they see a Ring, say it’s “Mine, mine, mine, mine!”

They don’t want gifts just ‘cause their birth-day comes
If you’re lucky then they’ll give you one!
Whoa baby, heart’s goin’ crazy
Want a gracious guy from the Shire!

(piano solo)

Well...kiss me baby
Mmmm…feels good
Can’t reach baby?
Well…I’ll wait right here—go grab a stool of wood
Escort’s…too short?
Got to find a way we can court, court, court, court!

Although they stink just from smokin’ their weed
A small package can be good indeed!
Wanna maybe…have Frodo’s baby!
My salacious guy from the Shire!

I say, touche. Too many good lines, but your 'spacious' rhymes and "If they see a Ring, say it’s “Mine, mine, mine, mine" stood out for me. You're an amazing parody writer, and it's excellent to see some LOTR from your time-honed skills. Thanks for giving me an 'Oh, wow. it's been five years since I joined the site and we were writing this stuff' moment.

Lol, a followup to "From The Shire" to the tune of "I'm On Fire?" Glad you made it into this round! I like the mine line also, and "I like em small" made me laugh because I have a dirty mind.

"A small package can be good indeed!" "I like em small" "Oh so short, but I don’t complain"... Are you trying to tell us something Arwen. lol. Loved it girl, and a great take on a culture that would be the farthest thing from my mind.

It made me crack up all the way. Perfect 5s for you!
Serafina - April 23, 2009 - Report this comment
I loved it too. Excellent subsitutions all around. Here's another perfect 5-5-5...keep up the good work! =)

Alvin...happy to do what I can to make your morning a little brighter. =) Thanks!

2nzy...Five years? Seriously? Whoa. Five and a half, really...and I didn't realize, until today, that you and I showed up around here within just a couple weeks of one another. I always thought you'd been around a lot longer than me. Not sure why. ??? ANYWAY...I'm glad you liked it...thanks for your continued support/friendship/etc. Let's see where the next five years goes, huh?

Jeffy...you're supposed to have a dirty mind...you're a guy, right? (And...it just means that we think alike...; )...)

Leo...=) Thanks!!

Mark...thank you very much!

Matty...take it for what you will, sir...that's all that I will say. =)

Joe...glad to hear it! Thanks!

(Ages) Who'd a thunk it? We made those guys from the Shire sound sweet and romantic. Ahhh... 5-5-5!

(Ages2) Interesting take on the topic, Arwen. Makes me wanna watch the films again. 555 for you!

It's funny and well written, I just wish the OS was longer because it didn't let you develop the idea fully. . .:( Still--you maximized what you had.
Invisible Boy - May 06, 2009 - Report this comment
Loved it Arwen.
I'm a fan of your Hobbit Habit
"spacious,flirtatious,gracious,salacious" as subs for the OS stood out for me.
Super...(Arwen)
Jeff Reuben - May 06, 2009 - Report this comment
Still like...see above!

God Arwen, you raise the bar a couple atmospheric levels whenever I read your stuff (to the dismay, I'm sure, of all them Brandybucks and Proudfeet and Hottentots and which whom). Too many good lines to mention. Actually, there's one exception: "I like 'em small"?!? :-D
Arwen - May 11, 2009 - Report this comment
hehe & Michael...I'm pretty sure your comments go along with the comment that someone posted under my name that have since been deleted. So basically...I don't get them. But if you think it was ME who left the ranch dressing out, you've got another thing coming. There wasn't any left over to leave out. I cleaned that stuff off!

Melanie...=) Thanks...glad you liked it!

BPC...if anything I do makes people want to watch the films again, I consider the day a success. People should always been watching those films. Seriously. Now I want to go watch the films again.

Dave...at first I was totally bummed by how short the OS was...but then, considering how short my subject matter was...I thought it worked out just fine. ; ) Thanks!

Invisible Boy...hehehe...my Hobbit Habit. Aren't you a clever one.

Jeff...I am always glad when people still like my stuff when they re-visit. Sometimes I fear that they'll come back and say "What the crap was I thinking?? This sucks. Can I reverse my 5 votes? I feel like vomiting." Much like my reaction when I re-visited my favorite childhood horror film, "The Lady in White."

Emi...oh YOU. Seriously...you are a darling girl and full of flattery, but my talent doesn't even compare to yours. I love that you love me, though. It matters. =) Thanks!
