Hobbit Trailer Limericks
|
Can't Post
|
|
Some of our clever disqus regulars have started posting these limericks/poems on our latest Great Hall of Poets post on the frontpage. As I wasn't sure how many of you visit our Frontpage posts, I thought I'd share them all with you here and see what you guys can come up with. Enjoy slugbelch There once was a guy name Peter. Who once delayed the final trailer. Everyone is getting upset! So sit back and wait some more on TheOneRing.net! Legolas Cuthalion Greenleaf If only he'd give us a snippet then perhaps the fandom would zip it! If it doesn't come soon we are going to swoon! Or at least go and pay him a visit... Kili's Runestone I'm not an immortal elf I keep staring at DOS on the shelf 100 years isn't a mere blink high time for the trailer, I think! I NEED IT NOW MY GOODNESS yessss, preciousss, yesss!!! slugbelch High time for the trailer, we all know you're right. ...but what are we to do? Stay up all night? I got my popcorn ready when TORN puts it up, but they better hurry, before Germany wins the World Cup! Legolas Cuthalion Greenleaf (If they wait till Germany wins, then you will wait long Cuz Holland will be singing the WC victory song!) But back to all seriousness, JACKSON, WE PLEAD: GIVE US THE TRAILER AND QUENCH OUR GREAT NEED! Kili's Runestone Has Bilbo got the Arkenstone? I want to see the battle of blood and bone! I cannot wait any longer for at least a foretaste of this cinema feast! COME ON SIR PETER Tauriel, Leggy left her, Thorin's gone mad Kili, an injury's had Where's Bolg going now How's Gandalf going to get out, how? YOU CANNOT LEAVE US STARING DOWN SMAUG GIVE US THE TRAILER, WE'RE IN A FOG!!! slugbelch I'm done. That was fun! You two are just too good, for me to continue, soon I would be misunderstood. But hey, Kili's, you're sure named a bunch of cool scenes there, but for now, Holland doesn't have a prayer! Wait a minute, I thought I was going to stop? But since I haven't, When is Weta going to make a Smaug polystone prop? Legolas Cuthalion Greenleaf Holland's victorious, thanks very much! Mexico tried but they can't beat the Dutch! =) I agree with you both, we need news of new scenes and could certainly use some nice Smaug figurines... This rhyming is fun but we need something more, like a trailer! Some hint about what lies in store! Theresa Yes Holland's victorious, makes me quite happy, I never thought it would end in disaster; And now I'm in need of a scene that is happy to make me forget that DOS isn't out! Kili's Runestone Bilbo's face crushed to darkness and piercing notes rang out SMAUG'S GOING TO KILL THEM I'm really starting to pout If I had just the least bit news Peter Jackson, give us something Basically, THE TRAILER PLEASE!!! For now all I can hear is the deadly woosh of Smaug's wing (Dude, we totally need to put this in the great hall of the poets!) Legolas Cuthalion Greenleaf Arkenstone, battle, a dragon in flight, Dain on a war pig, Laketown burning bright, Thrandy in action or someone's last breath... Just give us something: THIS WAITING IS DEATH!!! (I completely agree!! Or even better, send it to PJ himself... =D) Kili's Runestone By the Line of Durin it's like the curse of Hurin! By all the dragon fire give us what we desire! Dwarf beards, elf ears, Thrandy's sassy sneers, goblin bones, bats wings, golden precious things, Peter I beg thee! You know what we want to see! (I completely agree - if you know how to get it to PJ, tell away! This is ligit the best poem ever) Legolas Cuthalion Greenleaf It used to feel like PJ loved us like Luthien loved Beren. But now it's starting to feel like he simply beyond caring! All we've heard in six months straight is that the title's changed. If we don't get more tidbits soon the fans will be deranged!!! (I wish I knew how to get it to PJ, but sadly I don't have contacts in the right places...) slugbelch ok, ok, I got to admit, Holland's pretty good, but Germany aint done yet! I have to say, if Pete (and these poems) he were to see, I would feel like a little naked Hobbit running through Bree! That title thing really bugged me a bit, but like the bookworms from day one: Will debate ever end? Will the frustration ever quit? But when the film begins and the Smaug scene starts to erupt, will the Arkenstone, in Bilbo's "precious" pocket, start to corrupt? I don't know about you, but there's one thing I'll bet, that silly little title stuff...I will quickly forget! Legolas Cuthalion Greenleaf Who'll win this year only time can determine but I'm rooting for Dutch with a second place German. Agreed, the changed title will probably seem but a trivial thing when it hits the big screen. In the meantime, however, might there be a chance of a trailer? Oh come, precious, give us a glance! slugbelch That trailer you speak of should be heading out the station, I hope you all enjoy it, because I will be on vacation. For the next two long weeks I'll have no internet. I guess I should't despair, because it probably won't be out yet. Remember what TORN said, there's only 5 words, lines, or phrase? If that is the case then, Dwarves/Elves/Orcs/Men... We're about to see is a bunch of action and Laketown ablaze! I think it's kinda fun, waiting so long for 2 minutes or so. You think he did this on purpose? You think its done to make more dough? I, for one, it is definitely not causing me any more pain, because in November... ... every single TORN member... will be ready to go THERE AND BACK AGAIN!
Bag ENZ Home of the Hobbit *with thanks to cameragod ;D* One by one they faded, and fell into shadow... One book to rule them all One book to find them One book to bring them all And in TORn bind them In the land of TORnadoes...where the brilliant play

I got a real kick out of reading these wonderful limericks. I usually visit the home page and make an effort to read the articles/features (comments included) yet I've missed all of this. Thanks for posting them here. I appreciate their tense enthusiasm for the overdue teaser trailer (I can relate) and I especially like the World Cup references. Go Deutschland! P.S. I am poetically challenged; but, I just might attempt to compose a limerick that is worthy of association.

We know how this sad story ends: Big battle, king dies, makes amends. Expect no surprises. I'm sure Peter surmises On no goof-ups this fandom depends. So no sense in us pleading and moaning, Writing letters or tweeting and phoning. Camping outside the fence Just makes Peter all tense. Take a walk! You need more serotonin!
