Author: Indy Baggins Pairing: Various Rating: R Warning: Mentioning of het, sexual innuendo, incestry, whips, fetishes, etc Disclaimer: This is what happens when a British lit student hears one thou or thy to many… It is based on Chauser’s Canterbury tales. I am sure that both Tolkien and Chaucer are spinning in their graves right now, so excuse me for that. Although Chauser was quite the pervert himself- you never know he might enjoy the occasional spin… In middle-earth this tale takes place There is represented every race, The elves, the oldest of them all In shining beauty they stand tall The race of man, great in bravery In war, deceit and prudity The hobbits, who hold their home so dear Full of life, joy and cheer And the dwarfs, living under ground To the mining of stone bound The Moria tales When in December the cold wind starts to blow, And green leaves no longer grow, In Rivendell, a far-away land, A fellowship was strand A council was held, to decide where to ride What to do with this ring, in the world far and wide At length there was discussed what was best The decision made, all went to rest They rose with the sun, to go on their way To Mordor, to cast the ring away By speaking, fighting and sleeping together, all on this trip They soon became a “true” fellowship There was Strider, of the race of man Who from the day on which we first began To ride on this perilous journey Had shown truth, honor and courtesy Eventough his frequent bathroom stops caused us delay He did it nobly in every way Although a king, he possessed Not but a sword, nor was he gaily dressed He wore a fustian tunic stained and dark With smudges were his armor had left mark The name of this man was Aragorn For the noble fate of king he was born The other of the race of man, was named Boromir In our group he walked, but with little cheer He was the son of the steward, from the far white tree And seemed very renowned to me In statue he was of moderate length With wonderful swordplay and strength His clothes were embroided like a meadow bright The greens and reds doing him right At front, there walked one of the elvish race At front of every group would be his place He was a prince of Mirkwood, his name Legolas His senses keen, lightness in his pass He wore a coat and pants in green Every thing that passed, he had seen His arrows never dropped their feathers low And in his hand he bore a mighty bow His hair shone brightly in the sun His tight muscles be seen when he run There was a dwarf walking at his side No other insulted him so in his pride This was Gimli, son of Gloin A mighty axe hung at his groin His posture was small, his beard was brown He knew the craft of mining up and down Then there was a group of hobbits, from the Shire’s end Far out of their lands they now went A bunch of merry fellows Their bellies round, their chatter shallow They sang songs and poems they would recite Knew how to jest and dance, draw and write First there was Frodo, the one who carries our fate His beauty and courage none could debate In his eyes shines the grievance of counting every hour His skin is whiter than a lily-flower Every word sounds sweet upon his tongue When he made a rare joke, or sung His blue eyes would twinkle in his face as bright As any star upon a frosty night His cousins were named Pippin and Merry And merry those lads were, walking steady As close as brother and brother Many a time they clung to eachother Wine or food, they liked to take Even now, stuffed in their pants, they have some cake Merry, the one would say, all hot Look what I in my pants got And then they would disappear together What they did, it does not matter But happy both of them were Even walking on the rocks, their feet bare The servant of blue-eyed Frodo was Samwise To any word from his master he would rise The shy gardener he once was Was left behind, with things to pass He promised Frodo he would never depart In his chest a good and tender heart He showed more bravery too Than anyone else knew And finally Gandalf, a wizard old and gray The weight of wisdom upon his body, but his eyes twinkle gay He wears a pointy hat and coat To Mordor, he leads the road But all the things in his heart he can desire Are to be found in the far-away Shire Tobacco and hobbits, young and sweet, Those things his eye would like to greet And now the time has come to tell What happened here, as the evening fell But first I beg of you, in courtesy Not to condemn me as unmannerly If I speak plainly and with no concealings And give account of all their words and dealings As you could guess I think, This evening began with many a drink Carefulness of speech, wisdom and tact All of them after drinking lacked In drunkenness they came up with the idea To have a contest, the subject free Of telling a smart and entertaining tale While drinking good wine and ale The one who would be chosen as best Would have that night no sleep, no rest Would get merrily served till dawn grew pale By who he chose to be his “nightingale” Boromir started, raising his voice loud “While my head is still fresh, and my statue proud I will tell you a tale that in Gondor has fame It talks about a pretty dame Her ass was big, round and high And every man she passed, wondered why She would move those lovely globes in sight When there was none who might Grab them, touch them or just stroke A behind so wonderful, none could joke Now there was a man, who made it his sport To look at asses, from the finest sort He bid her to come to his hall one day And to touch her revered body, if he may The wench said no without a doubt But the brilliant Stewart of a plan thought He made a contest, if the prettiest lass he had seen in his life Come to his hall, he would make her his wife Then he send for the lovely creature, so big, but tender With her reverend body, no single curve slender When she came to understand she pleaded To not have the steward’s request repeated If he was going to marry her, he should do so for her wit Not for her behind, which he had admit To long to look at those globes more Than at any joker, food or whore After a long discussion, they did get wed And the Stewart had the lovely behind in his wedding bed Which he had fallen in love with so hard He just had to have her, but that was not smart For the wench took his money and ran Proclaiming she would never have any man. So this is the story my father used to tell To teach me and my brother well To never pick a wife for her lovely ass Or bad things will come to pass!” The fellowship thought the tale slightly amusing Finally Aragorn said: “I was musing, Boromir, is it that you fancy a wife?” “Oh no”, he answered serious, “not in my life!” “Why is it than that such love is in thy tale?” “Just put it down to too much ale” All of them drunk and the party went on Drinking and laughing in the setting of the sun Aragorn suddenly sighed and said: “Dear man, I do wish to know If not a woman, who love thou?” Boromir looked down, very pale “I did not tell this in my tale… But I do love another” He whispered: “It is my brother”. All sat still around their fire Then Aragorn spoke: “I must admire The fact that you tell us all true”, said he “Eventhough we could condemn you for incestery” Than Frodo spoke, his face pale too, “Tell me Boromir, does he love you?” A fire came in the steward’s son’s eye “My love for him runs as high As any man could ever say Without him, the light of my live is away… As I left him in Gondor, he did cry For he was afraid either he or me would die And we would be taken away from eachother As in youth was our mother He loves me, I am sure Our absence is as hard to endure For him as it is for me And so it seems to be our destiny To love eachother from afar And thinking of our love, die in war” Frodo sighed and stared at his feet “A love like that, should I ever meet, I would love too, as much as I could Hold him in my arms, and never let him go I would” But Frodo never did see While he spoke like that, his gardener looked up at he With a tenderness in his eye And some sadness, as if he would cry Merry’s voice, usually full of jokes and wit, Now wavered a bit “No wonder you are sad Boromir When you love is there, and you are here I cannot understand thy pain For the one I need, my sun and rain Is always at my side Whether we eat, sleep or ride” Boromir looked at Merry and Pippin, to and fro “I never knew your love was so” Pippin looked shocked at his mate, and how shy he sat “Why Merry, I never knew you could speak like that!” Gimli broke their tender moment “Come on-keep me from torment! I will now tell a laughing history Living in every dwarf’s memory” They all settled down and took some more ale To start listening to this new tale “In Bara-Dur”, he began the story “That hall, full of glory There lived a miner and his wife Together they had a quiet life Until one day, in their house, the wife found a whip And she started to give her man hardship About how he had got a whip and why While she thought her husband so shy… The husband proclaimed it was to punish his men If one of them not enough worked, he can Whip them, once in a while a bit Which he, with pain in his heart, did Now this woman, she had read many tales in the library About the beds of elves and men, and she was very Intrigued by this thing in leather How it looked by her husbands side and whether They should try it once in bed Since the couple, so many years wed, Did no longer take any opportunity And suddenly, she felt full of jealousy For the workers, her man had to beat It almost felt as lie and deceit Because she wanted to feel his touch now So she made herself a vow To make this a night he would never forget When time had come, they went to bed The woman waited until she thought her husband asleep She listened to his breathing, loud and deep Then she tied around his hands a rope tight And woke him up, saying: “I want you tonight!” The husband, who had heard her remark, Opened his eyes, but saw only dark He tried to move his hands, but he could not Despite himself, he felt suddenly hot He loudly breathed: “wife, what did thou do? Why am I tied, and where are you?” But then he felt her hands going that way And he muttered to himself: “bless this day!” Then his wife made some candlelight And her body was lit, all warm and bright But in her hand she held the whip And said: “I had enough hardship Tonight I want to whip you bad Until you’re hairy skin turns red” When she did, it gave him a great rise And than she whispered: “I have another surprise!” Beside the bed, five of his workers appeared They all started stroking him, or tugging his beard The poor man could not resist And since his wife did insist… That night a lovely tradition was invented Of workers, who could for all-purpose be rented And often they will bring a whip And cheer away any hardship” The fellowship talked and laughed when he was done But Legolas asked him: “Gimli, why have you gone Away from a race with traditions so fine, Well, I almost wish they were mine!” Gimli seemed charmed by this And said: “Legolas, ‘t is not sex you miss But true love and companionship I hold more dear than any whip” And the elf seemed to understand For together they sat, hand in hand Pippin could not help but tease “Be careful Legolas, that you not cease To be an elf or your wits depart Now a dwarf is in your heart!” Legolas smiled a mysterious smile And said: “master Pippin, it took me a while, But now I know which story I wish to tell And I am sure it will amuse you well” He cleared his throat and spoke smart “In Rivendell my story will start Two hobbits were staying there And to them, it seemed hardly fair That they had to sleep in eachother company While the elves at night did things so lovely So they decided that, purely for cheer They would try to have fun with Elrond and Haldir At night they punched eachother awake And snook in those rooms for pleasure’s sake But when the one entered in the room that was of Haldir His exited cheer was replaced by fear For no elf was to be found So he spent a while, looking around Then he saw a closet, carved, so fair He opened it in curiosity, but got a scare Inside were instruments, of a sort he had never yet seen But he could guess their purpose, his wit keen So he took the objects, that in his mind so cunning Looked like they could be, well… stunning And ran with them through the hall When suddenly, he stumbled and something broke his fall Haldir! The hobbit in excitement moaned “Dear hobbit”, Haldir spoke, “are those the things owned By me-in thy arms? Why, thou art a thief, A lovely hobbit, so full of mischief…” Haldir than got a smile on his face And accused the hobbit of disgrace Stealing the things, he was coming to get, For he was lying with Elrond and a hobbit in bed! The halfling laughed and with no more ado Said: “well, let’s go join those two!” Through the hallway they hurried Hands already buried In eachothers clothes and heat Stroking the hard, warm meat Then they opened the door, to Elrond’s bed When happened then, neither elf nor hobbit ever said All that I did know Is that the next day, they had marks to show Upon their body, blue and red, as from blows… And the hobbits had some on their tows Apparently Elrond likes to use his tongue On hobbitfeet, while wearing a thong!” When this tale was over, all were laughing with open mound Merry and Pippin so hard, they were rolling on the ground Only Gimli, from the group was amis So all assumed he had gone for piss Pippin yelled: “Legolas, how did you know?” “The morning after, there’s at Elronds face a glow” “Yes, but still, how did you know it was Merry and me?” “There are many things an elf can see” They both snickered and said: “Legolas, do not fret, We have a present for you telling this story Because your jest just gave us eternal glory How many hobbits can tell That there toes got sucked by the lord of Rivendell?” The elf looked quite suspicious to me and asked: “What present would that be?” They both smiled proudly at him And said: “Just follow us in this whim Go to the forest, look with your keen eye And you’ll see what we’ve got for you, and why.” “Yes Legolas, go.” Merry replied “And you will not come back dissatisfied” With Legolas gone, they spoke many a word ‘till Aragorn stood up, holding his sword “All sit down for a moment and wait While I get the stories of this evening strait You say my father-in-law likes to suck hobbit-toes? While, he wearing a thong, they answer his woes?” The fellowship looked at him, quite concerned It took a lot to upset Aragorn, they had learned But now, his face did something they hadn’t seen in a while O by Elbereth- it was a smile! “You say Denethor is fond of asses? Why, that explains why he always wears his glasses When Gandalf passes by!” And, he continued, his humor dry, “Boromir, you are in love with your brother? And you two came from the same mother?” Boromir nodded, vaguely sad, Afraid Aragorn might become mad But the future king started to snicker out loud And jested: “Why, I should be proud Of all you people, however shy You still tell your stories without a lie Quite plainly people this night spoke About our beds and lovers we now joke! This is my tale and true, my woes and all For me it is a female who proceeds my fall She is very hot, I will not lie Her body fine, breasts round and high The daughter of Elrond, very fair And by him appointed as his heir Because I quite liked the idea of a house and land I tried to be her suitor, to win her hand So lovely, well-descended But strange things she of me expected I tried to please her in bed, as well as I could I mean, through my blood and ancient heritage, I am quite good Eventhough my hard sword would rise so high She wouldn’t even scream nor sigh The only blush I would ever on her face see Was when she scrubbed the house, without me! So one day, when I came riding back from my duty as ranger I had lived through sword fights, countless leagues and danger On the road to Rivendell (following the signs Elrond there put- On hobbit-height, strangely) I fell in a puddle of mud Without even washing my dirty face I rode on, towards my Arwen’s grace When my eye met her, I gave her, quite kingly, a peck But she threw me down and started licking my neck! I yelled: “Arwen, not here! Let me wash first!” “No, dirty Aragorn! Let me quench my thirst!” And then suddenly, she was all over me Holding my arms, stroking my knee Biting my ear-tip with her pearl-white teeth A look in her eyes, like I was raw meet She started to suckle and lick-everywhere! Her tongue and teeth moving with the greatest care In a low voice she growled: “You dirty man! I’ll eat you all over, for as long as I can!” That night (and the next day!) was truly the best of my life After that I was sure I would make her my wife But as soon as I bathed it was all over and done Her interest for me, our steaming sex-life… gone! When I talked with her, she with a tear confessed That that lust she had possessed Came purely from the stench of dirt She left me feeling slightly hurt But then I thought of a plan that could not go amiss My royal seduction would go like this: A mysterious note in her room I put To come and meet me at noon, by that puddle of mud I, totally naked, waited there for my Eveningstar And when I heard somebody coming, very far I put some mud over my… sword And laid down in waiting, until I heard one word “Aragorn” This was not my sweet! It was by far the worst person I could meet “Elrond” What in Middle-earth was he doing here! With my heart pounding, my body trembling in fear I looked up into the eyes of the lord of Rivendell At his side Arwen. He coughed. “Well…” I could see Arwen’s pale cheeks blushing in delight “Ada” she pleaded, her eyes wide. “We might Continue this walk some other day Please leave me here to talk to Aragorn, if I may.” Elrond than started hissing words in elvish While Arwen kept on looking at me as I were a dish… By this time all were sitting up strait, listening “Come on Aragorn! Soon you’ll be our king This is our only chance to hear about these things About this Arwen, and your other flings.” He sighed. “Why do you believe that I will jest no more When I am king; as I did before? Does a crown make a man purely politely? When before he was forthrightly? Will wars, suffering, and maybe a wife Create an other Aragorn in this life?” Boromir stood up and gave him a manly hug “Aragorn, replace your sword by a mug And you broody thoughts about things to be With pleasure right now, you can hold and see We might not know when, and in what way But die we will one day All of us, men, wizard, hobbits and elves Until then, let’s at least amuse ourselves!” “Hoy Aragorn, what happened with Arwen in the dirt? Did you prove your… kingly worth?” “Yes Pippin, it all turned out well I did not get banned from Rivendell… Since I know now what makes my Arwen willing Our time together is quite thrilling.” Gandalf interrupted with a gay smile Softly suckling his pipe all the while “I think it is time for the young hobbits now To tell an entertaining story-like about the why and how Carrots are so much loved in the Shire And every hobbit has a vegetable garden, for when desire…” “Gandalf!” Frodo quickly cut in “We could not possibly win By telling a tale every traveler has heard Eventhough we know you love every word.” He strangely did not seem to think that offending While Boromir obviously was pretending To know all about this, looking to and fro Between the wizard and Frodo Finally Merry seemed to pity the man He got up from his place, dragging Pippin and ran To whisper an explanation in Boromir’s ear. What they told him, none could hear But understanding began to dawn on his face And he yelled: “Why, what a wonderful race- These hobbits, so small and resourceful Life in the Shire simply cannot be dull!” Merry and Pippin started smirking together “Say Boromir… Does size matter… To you? We could show you many a thing Surely your brother doesn’t mind if you have a little swing…” Boromir’s eyes widened in surprise Pippin swore he could feel a great rise “You mean… You two together ánd me… What an amazing fantasy…” “Fantasy no more dear man You’ll be surprised at what us hobbits can.” Boromir glanced at Gandalf, to see of he approved With a great amount of nods from the wizard, he moved And pulled both hobbits behind some bushes While Gandalf quickly stood and rushes Muttering something about “in case they go astray” And in the blink of an eye, he too was away. Now only Aragorn and the two other hobbits remained Samwise Gamgee looking as if he was about to faint All evening he had been staring at his feet Blushing, not even daring to move from his seat Aragorn broke the silence. “So, what happened to elf and dwarf over there?” Frodo smiled. “Go see if you dare. My dear cousins tied up Gimli, son of Gloin Without any garments, except on his groin By his side, they left a whip And then send Legolas for “companionship”.” Aragorn laughed. “Well, I’m sure he’ll enjoy that.” And then added thoughtful: “Maybe I should go and eugh… take a bath.” With these words also the king was gone And their contest was basically over and done Frodo sighed: “Well, I guess they’ll never hear my tale” And he got up, to get some more ale Sam smiled shyly: “Sir, I would like to hear it Your story, I mean, as I am sure yours would have had the wit To be chosen as the very best tale.” “O Sam… You think I wánted that nightingale?” “Well sir, beggin’ me pardon, but that was the reward And although the competition was very hard I am sure you would have had a chance.” “Sam…” Frodo’s head spun, as from a dance Rarely he had heard his servant speak so free Does he know if I could’ve chosen it would have been he? “Sam, I am curious, what story would you have told?” “Sir, me telling a story like that… I am not so bold.” “Although…” Sam smiled, “I did hear something from Ted Sandyman About the man of the West and their horses…can That be true you think, Mister Frodo?” He added whispering. “Yes, it is. Bilbo once spoke to me of such a thing.” “So what was your story about sir?” Sam changed the subject back light Frodo than blushed for the first time this night “Well, it was about a hero Sam About a hobbit, who does all he can to help me, to take care of me… yes you do! This hero, Sam, this is you.” Sam moved his gaze up to the sky So Frodo wouldn’t see the tear in his eye Softly he spoke, his voice heavy with fears Sir, you don’t know… for every “sir” I call you there are a thousand “dears” I wish to speak…” His voice broke. “I wish to whisper in your ear…” “O Sam!” Frodo yelled, hugging him tight “Me dear… Do you love me, as I love you?” Sam cried: “I do sir, I do!” So somewhere between Rivendell, Moria, and eternal bliss Under these stars they shared their first kiss They spend the night loving eachother more than a writer can tell Even trying out the trick made famous by the lord of Rivendell Legolas and Gimli spend the night of their lives Now once and for all sure that one does not need wives To handle a whip perfectly fine And to say they found all this thanks to some wine… Aragorn spend the night on the riverbank, in the dirt Thinking about Arwen, and how much it hurt To be away from her, for so long now That he could hardly remember how… But then the smell of mud reached his nose To him smelling better than any rose So he pulled out his sword, and had some fun by himself After all, a man does not for everything need an elf… The two hobbits and Boromir did some quite wicked things For some positions, he would have sworn to have needed wings Pippin even turned out to have found a carrot somewhere And gave Boromir quite a scare By using it in an… extraordinary way The poor man could not sit the next day. The Grey wizard Gandalf had quite some pleasure too Spying on every couple, without them having a clue And using his hat and “magical touch” It was also for him hard to sit the next day much. In this one night, where nobody thought about danger or rings This fellowship learned many things… Life belongs to the open of mind Do not always stick with you own kind! The end.
