So, a rundown and requests for help

After looking over what we have, I believe we need 2 more verse; one that uses Verse TuneI and is kind of light-hearted and one that uses Verse Tune II, and is more "thoughtful" but not deeply serious. I'd love help and suggestions and input of all kinds! Ours goes like this right now (the "T's" are for the Verse Tunes). I put it in a possible order, but it's not at all set in stone. The actual song up to now is below this "map" : Chorus T.I Chorus T.II Chorus T.II T.I Chorus (T.I light-hearted?) (T.II, more "thoughtful" but not deeply serious?) Chorus T.II and T.II (sil's 2 stanza) Chorus Ruxendil's-- T. III T.II Special ending chorus (Ruxendil's) Hail Tolkenia! Chorus All Ha-il to Tolkienia, Let us all proclaim our love, Of our glorious suburban banks and braes. Here, just south a bit from Chelmsford Tooks play golf upon the greensward; All hail to Tolkenia, thee we praise! Verse (Tune I) Here in So-uth Woodham Ferrers we are safe from changeling bears, As we amble past the trees of Arwen's Grove. We pick up a lunch at Curlew's, sail off from Eyotts club, To navigate the falls of Dimrill Stairs. Chorus All Ha-il to Tolkienia, Let us all proclaim our love, Of our glorious suburban banks and braes. Here, just south a bit from Chelmsford Tooks play golf upon the greensward; All hail to Tolkenia, thee we praise! Verse (Tune II) Drawn by it's mellow byways, We meander on our bikes, To discover nooks and crannies Or adventure that We likes (Precious). Chorus All Ha-il to Tolkienia, Let us all proclaim our love, Of our glorious suburban banks and braes. Here, just south a bit from Chelmsford Tooks play golf upon the greensward; All hail to Tolkenia, thee we praise! Verse Tune II In our gracious Tolkienia We do not shout "Ere! Oo are you?" We greet each other with warm hugs Around our big barbecue Verse Tune I The end of day is a special time, in our little Tolkien town In our Fellowship, a hum of happy sound. At dusk we stand together, beneath the darkening sky, All eyes on heaven as Earandil glimmers by. Chorus All Ha-il to Tolkienia, Let us all proclaim our love, Of our glorious suburban banks and braes. Here, just south a bit from Chelmsford Tooks play golf upon the greensward; All hail to Tolkenia, thee we praise! Need a verse in Tune I. Need a verse in Tune II. Chorus All Ha-il to Tolkienia, Let us all proclaim our love, Of our glorious suburban banks and braes. Here, just south a bit from Chelmsford Tooks play golf upon the greensward; All hail to Tolkenia, thee we praise! There is one by name of Tolkien, With his heart the world adorned. A spirit of his kind, unique, Among all authors born. Profound and deepest meaning, summoned by simple call of horn. In Middle-earth, all led as one By humble ranger, Aragorn. Chorus All Ha-il to Tolkienia, Let us all proclaim our love, Of our glorious suburban banks and braes. Here, just south a bit from Chelmsford Tooks play golf upon the greensward; All hail to Tolkenia, thee we praise! Verse Tune III Then we saw it in Crickhollow and in winding Shirebourn Vale, Some Ferrers folk were singing O Elbereth Gilthoniel! Shall we join in lifting voices to good Varda high above, Shall we praise the Legendarium, the object of our love? Verse Tune II We join the chorus singing, Circling Gandalf’s Ride’s detour, Ever knowing of one truth: We adore our Professor’s lore! Chorus On the breeze that follows sunset We can hear the bright refrain, Hail Tolkienia! Tolkienia! Hooray! Hail the world-inventing dreamer O Eärendil Elenion Ancalima! All hail to Tolkienia, thee we praise! All hail to Tolkienia, thee we praise!
