archy of the ring

by otrfan

hello, boss, just back from my vacation
mehitabel and I been to middle earth
to see wot all the fuss was about
big doings all over the place over
some ring everybody had the hots for

mehitabel says it the ring that is
was much too plain needed a diamond
on it she never goes for anything
less than two carats as if she would
ever be offered such a rock but still
she remains toujour gai toujour
gai nonetheless

so we ran into some short guys
with hairy feet and rode along
dodging a septet of nasties i never
saw em but frodo the one with the
ring he said they were most
unpleasant i took his word for that

then there was a strider character
who didn’t strike me as much better
but the short hairy footed guys took
to him like mehitabel takes to catnip

suddenly we were in this fancy place
with lots of odd looking ducks and
then it got real cold mehitabel said
she didn’t much care for that and
your humble correspondent was
forced to agree with her but still
it was better than that cave we was
lost in for a few ays mehitabel got
a bit peckish since nobody remembered
to bring along any milk for her

damned inconsiderate of them i
opined and she was forced to agree
with my assessment of the situation but
toujour gai toujour gai says she
and so she was as best she could be
given the circumstances

there was some fighting here and there
and before long a couple of the short
hairy footed guys went to toss the ring
in a volcano which is a mountain with
a bad smoking habit seemed like a
waste of a perfectly good ring even if
it don’t have a diamond on it and once
again mehitabel found it in her heart to
concur with me

so now were back and mehitabel has
all the milk and catnip she can handle
and once again i archy your humble
correspondent can batter his brains
out on the keys of the old remington
as in days of eld the way a good post
soul transmigration vers libre poet
should i’ll sign off now and give the
keys a rest until tomorrow night
