It's not very good and I let my little sister (in reality) help, with a line or two but it's what I could come up with. This is the first time I've enterexd a contest so if I did something wrong just let me know. Anyway there's my entry (if I can join) and I hope that you liked it. :-D

Haha, that is great! I love it!

What Ring is This? (Greensleeves/What Child is This?)

What ring is this
That when did rest
On Sauron's hand caused weeping?
Bewitching power, battles faught o'er
In hobbits trust is keeping?
This, this is the one ring
From which men will quail and dwarves will squeam.
Nine Nazgul are slaves to call,
This one, this ring to rule them all.

So cast into the mountain hot
To melt and destroy its evil.
With help from nine and loyal one
Dear Frodo heads to Oroudin
This, this is the one ring
Gone into lava (no more bad bling bling)
Heros, now, halflings stand tall
They rid us of this ring to rule them all.

*Ahem* This is my slightly loopy attempt, written on a bit of a sugar high and NOT one of my finest pieces. But I had to have an entry! Goodness, the contest was my idea!

So prepare yourself. Oh yeah, and it works better if you sing it to the tune of Jingle Bells.

The Ring was gold and shiny
'Twas circular and small
Though its size was but tiny
Its power ruled them all.

Through many hands it passed
Of Maia, Hobbit, Man
When Frodo found it Gandalf said
"Destroy it if you can!"

Oh! The wizard went, by Valar sent
The dwarf and two men too
The hobbits tagged along behind
With the elf of old, it's true - yrch!

The Fellowship, the banded Nine
They traveled many lands
They strayed not from the narrow edge
With Fate held in their hands!

There's more, if anyone wants it...but it's not very good, even worse than that.

EDIT: Well, I decided to post it anyway :)

Through ancient Moria of stone
The party made their path
They exited there minus one -
While the Balrog had a bath!

The Steward's son, of Gondor
Was noble, tall and brave
The Uruk-hai, they shot him down -
Sent to a watery grave!

Oh! Seven split, bit by bit
Now Gollum has a part
Their journeys long, not in this song
In a book now called great art

Sauron died, Gollum tried
To bite off Frodo's hand
He only got his finger, though
Now Elessar ruled the land!

As an alternative, I thought about doing "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" but it came out like this:

Have a Merry, Pippin Christmas
And a Frodo, Sam one too

And then my sister added her two cents:

Have a Gandalf, Gimli feature
They've got three pink tutus!

So that didn't work so well.

Ok, here is my first entry. I'll have the other one later today. :-)

P.S It's for all you Nazgul's out there. ;)


[To the tune of "Oh, Come All Ye Faithful"]

Oh, come all ye Nazgul
Dark and evil-icious
Oh, come ye, oh, come ye to Minas Morgul
Come and behold them
Hobbits due for torture
Oh, come let us torture
Oh, come let us torture
Oh, come let us torture
Hobbits galore

Lord of the Nazgul
Evil of the evil
Born out of darkness
Once of mortal men
Servant of Sauron
Leading torturer
Oh, come let us torture
Oh, come let us torture
Oh, come let us torture
Hobbits galore

Screech, choir of Nazguls
Screeh in exultation
Screech all ye citizens of Minas Morgul
For Christmas is coming
More hobbits need torturing
Oh, come let us torture
Oh, come let us torture
Oh, come let us torture
Hobbits, galore


EDIT: Here is my second entry. :-)


[To the tune of "While Shepards Wacthed Their Flocks by night"]


While Hobbits cooked their food by night
All seated on the ground
Nazgul of the Dark Lord came down
And slowly circled round

“Fear not” said the chief
“We just wish, to have a bit of fun
The Nazgul Christmas party’s here
There is no need to run”

“To you, all Hobbit’s here today
We would like to invite
To join our Nazgul festive bash
On this here very night”

“A party like you’ve never seen
With magnificent black trees
Fell Beasts giving Christmas rides
And let’s not forget the feast”

“Oh, food like you have ever seen
Will be there for you
Cakes and pies, will greet you eyes
All sorts of ales too”

The Hobbits liked the sound of this
The cakes, the ales, the pies
The Christmas trees, (the food there’d be)
Danced before their eyes

They walked away hand in hand
(Which was the Nazgul’s aim)
Joyfully the Hobbits skipped
But ne’er were seen again

(There is something to be learned by this
'Though the Hobbits failed to see
Never trust those with Fell Beasts
And who have black Christmas trees)
