Along through the forest I walked at a pace,
When something did flutter, right up in my face.
Around and up it flew, and swirled away,
A great brown moth, out at mid-day?
Then out of the bushes, it caught me unawares,
A sleek wooden sleigh, and eight giant hares,
With a silly old driver, so lively and fast,
I knew in a moment it must be Radagast.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and chirped, and called them by name:
“Now! Bugs, now! Harvey, now! Peter and Flopsy,
“On! Roger, on! Cotton-tail, on! Thumper and Mopsy;
“To the edge of the wild! Do evade the dark hall!
“Now Dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”
He was dressed all in brown, with a nest under his hat,
and he held a tall staff, and had a beard full of scat.
A worthy wizard is he, but his thoughts are a buzzin’
‘Twas Radagast the Brown, my good ol’ cousin.
(My intent was to post this at a more timely moment between The Hobbit’s release and Christmas, but real life got busy, as it tends to do at that time of year. Also, I began putting this together back when we expected the moth would in some way be connected to Radagast. I still like that concept, and decided not to change that part. So despite it being a little less relevant now, I hope you guys enjoyed my meager attempt at humor!)

and your poem is appropriately darker and sillier than the one with that jolly old elf, and I laughed when I read it in spite of myself. Many thanks for the belated Yule mathom.

There it is: dwarves are not heroes, but calculating folk with a great idea of the value of money; some are tricky and treacherous and pretty bad lots; some are not, but are decent enough people like Thorin and Company, if you don't expect too much.
