Chapter 1 - A Hobbit and His Lass

There once was a hobbit
Who had hair the sun lit  
Small and proud was he 
Like the stump of an old tree 
He lived in a hole in a ground 
With doors and windows round 

He lived a peaceful life 
He didn't know about strife 
Until a day came to pass 
When a small hobbit lass 
Took his heart away 
One sunny, autumn day 

She was fair and kind  
Many hobbit lads had her in their mind 
"She has a smile like the sun." 
The hobbit lad whispered as he watched her have fun 
His good friend pushed him towards the lady 
"Go have a dance! Stop being lazy!" 

A month or two did pass 
When that small hobbit lass 
Would be the one in the hobbit lad's peace 
For he would go on a journey full of unease 
Samwise Gamgee was this hobbit lad's name 
And a quest he set out 
Full of trials and doubt 

He helped his friend Frodo destroy a great shadow 
Poor Sam found that life was full of sorrow 
Yet he thought of his hobbit lass 
"This evil, Mr. Frodo, it will pass." 
His heart was brave and thoughts full  
Of helping his friend and that homeward's pull 

Finally after so many days 
They went home and parted ways 
With friends they had made along their quest 
To a place they once knew best 
Sam found his courage to ask his lass 
To marry him and his story is passed
