Okay, okay, I just had to say, spent yesterday watching the services for Ronald Reagan and the only time I smiled through my sniffles was when they played Battle Hymn of the Republic!

Not all tears are evil, no matter how you felt about his politics, his wife, Nancy is now all alone. Her Ronnie has gone across the sea.

would that we should all live so long and be loved so well.

That was too priceless! The meter, the rhyme, the idea. All perfect. Although I have to think the maidens would want to be waylaid. I will never play this song in church again. It will throw the rest of the band off when I start laughing. Or singing the wrong words. Great job.

Our high school choir sang that song at every graduation, so I know the tune pretty well. It was fun to sing some different words Very Happy smiley face Thanks for posting this, it has made my day! Laughing smiley face

You have the rhyme and meter down! This was a charming read. Might wanna run it through a spell-check (or was "fangrils" intentional? It could be, of course... Smile smiley face ) Also, I'm perplexed by "He faced the foes of Mordor and he did not know defeat". Wasn't *he* a foe of Mordor? Anyway, despite those nitpicks, the poem is terribly cute. Thanks for sharing!

To echo Yavanie's comment ... this song will never be the same for me Very Happy smiley face ! And just so you know ... I like your version much better!

Great job! It's very humorous ... and yet you've been able to capture Glorfindel quite well: balrog-slayer, beautiful, and noble. Excellent Wink smiley face !
