Uncle Bilbo's Rap
My name’z Bilbo Bagginz and I’m for hireI’m the best damn burgla’ in the whole f***’n Shire
I got brains, I got moves, got a magic ring
Got a big damn dagger by the name of Sting
I jacked a cup from that lizard sucka Smaug
Found out ’bout his belly and got him shot like a dog
I ripped the Arkenstone right from under Thorin’s nose
I made a righteous rep, as even Gandalf knows
But my best damn score was in the Mountains of Mist
Played the Riddle Game with Gollum, and he got dissed
"What do I got in my pockets?" and the cat was beat
Grabbed the Ring, put it on, made a quick retreat
Now I live at home in a life of ease
The kids I thrill and the ladies I please
But there’s more to the story, as you’ll soon see
’Cuz this Ring’s makin’ holes in our security
The Elves and the Eye got a score to settle
Over this precious little piece o’ metal
So sit back, cuz, an’ you’ll see what I mean
It’s "Tha Lord o’ the Rings" by my man Tolkien

Spider-Sam
by Karalin
Spider-Sam, Spider-Samdoes whatever a hobbit can.
Pretty strong, small in size
serves his Master, good Samwise.
Look out! Here comes his frying pan!
In the chill of Night,
at the scene of the crime
with Eärendil's light,
he arrives just in time!
Spider-Sam, Spider-Sam,
friendly neiborhood Spider-Sam!
Works Bag End,
not ignored...
Frodo is, his reward!
To him, life is a great big bang-up!
He'll cook potatoes with some luck...
Here comes the Spider-Sam!
