Sitting here on a Wednesday evening, a bit exhausted from half a week's work, listening to the mother of my daughters read "The Hobbit" to my 6-year old.
It's relaxing, and inspirational enough to push me to write my very first blog entry...
So let me share Miranda's elvish (not elvis) tome:
Mr. Baggins is a burglar
a sneaky afraid burglar
Mr. Baggins is a burglar
Gandalf is in the lead to show
Mr. Baggins what to do.
Mr. Baggins is a hobbit
He doesn't like adventure
He wants to stay home
and eat a lot
Mr. Baggins is a sneaky peaky burglar
but Gandalf wants him to be a burglar
Mr. Baggins is a sneaky hobbit burglar
Bilbo is afraid!
Miranda suggests we set the song to flute or lute.
So, now I have to get out my my mandolin and fiddle and come up with an elvish tune (well, since my baby left me...) fitting of the poem above.
No small feat. But Hobbits have small feet.

Hey that's cool about your kids and Tolkien's kids. I've read The Hobbit to Aaron, but he hasn't seen any of the LOTR movies yet. A tune for Miranda's song ... You Ain't Nothin' But a HoundDog almost works, but I'll bet you can do better than that. Yeah, I'll post the syrup recipe soon. Back atcha!
