'Twas Gimli and slimy orcs
Did battle and grumble in the way
All flimsy were the Hornburg doors
And in the end, they gave
"Beware the Uruk-hai my dwarf!
The sword that strikes,
the voice that bellows
Beware the crebain bird,
and shun
The wizard he follows!"
He took his mighty axe in hand:
Long time Legolas' count he sought
So rested Gimli by Hornburg's walls,
And stood awhile in thought
And as a gruffish dwarf he stood,
The Uruk-hai, with torch aflame,
Came marching up with rams of wood,
And roaring as he came!
One, two! One, two!
And through and through
The mighty axe went snicker-snack!
He left them dead,
with count of head
He went brazenly back.
"And hast thou slain the Uruk-hai?
Come to my arms, my dwarvish boy!
O fabulous day!
I think I'm gay!"
Said Legolas in joy.
'Twas Gimli and slimy orcs
Did battle and grumble in the way
All flimsy were the Hornburg doors
And in the end, they gave.
