Chapter 1: Pre-party, a young Hobbit's View

by SecretKeeper

They say a party will happen soon.
It will last late in the night to half past noon.
I can see from this hill many strange things that
I cannot sit still.

Over by the big tree,
A sign that is big, bright and merry.
The words say Happy Birthday!
I wish that the party were today.

There are tents everywhere.
I hope the party will come so I don’t have to share.
The spot I sit upon is crowded with other hobbit boys and girls.
There’s so many of them, it makes my head dizzy and twirls.

I race towards the trees to get a better look
However, the others follow me especially Bella Took.
I yell aloud for them to leave me alone
Until Bella screamed Gandalf and they were all gone!

This time I followed them with awe
I could not believe the Grey Wizard I saw.
He smiled gaily with Mr. Frodo Baggins by his side.
We called for fireworks, when he gave none, our smiles died.

Then with a BANG and a great yelp,
We saw that Gandalf was willing to help.
He wiped the frowns from our faces
Creating a small show that whizzed and blazed.

I rush home to tell my ma what happened today
She stands by the oven nodding my way.
Mr. Bilbo Baggins asked her to cook some party food,
He said that she was special and cooked very good.

So we ate our dinner and talked late into the night.
I told her that tomorrow would have many happy sights.
She sent me off to bed kissing my head.
Tomorrow would be Mr. Baggins Birthday, she said.

I had better get some sleep or I might not stay up late.
I didn’t want to go to dreamland yet for I just couldn’t wait!
Fireworks, food, dancing and presents to share!
Tomorrow would be the best day ever, what would I wear?
