The Wizard in the Hat
The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
So they sat in the house,
All that cold, cold, wet day.
Frodo sat there with Sam.
They sat there, them two.
And Sam said, “How I wish
We had something to do!”
Too wet to go out
And too cold to kill orcs.
So they sat in the house.
Like a couple of dorks.
So all they could do was to
Sit!
Sit!
Sit!
Sit!
And they did not like it.
Not one little bit.
And then
Something went BUMP!
How that bump made them jump!
They looked!
Then they saw him step in on the mat!
They looked!
And they saw him!
Gandalf in the Hat!
And he said to them,
“Why do you sit there like that?”
I know it is wet
And the sun is not sunny.
But we can have
Lots of good fun that is funny.”
“I know adventure we could have,”
Said Gandalf.
“I know some magics,”
Said Gandalf in the Hat.
“A lot of good tricks.
I will show them to you.
And Bilbo
Will not mind at all if I do.”
The Frodo and Sam
Did not know what to say.
For Bilbo was out of the house for the day.
But Gollum said, “No! No!
Make that thing go away!
Tell that nasty creature
You do NOT want to play.
He should not be here.
He should not be about.
He should not be here
When the Baggins is out!”
“Now! Now! Have no fear.
Have no fear!” said Gandalf
“My tricks are not bad,”
Said Gandalf in the Hat.
“Why, we can have lots of good fun like a chimp
With a game I call
UP-UP-UP with the imp!”
“Put us down!” said Gollum.
“This is no fun at all!
Put us down!” Said Gollum.
We do NOT wish fall!”
“Have no fear!” said Gandalf.
“I will not let you fall.
I will hold you up high
As I stand on a ball.
With my staff in one hand!
And a cup on my hat!
But that is not all I can do!”
Said Gandalf…
“Look at me!
Look as me now!” Said Gandalf.
“With bow and a dwarf
On top of my hat!
I can hold up TWO staffs!
I can hold up the imp!
And a little sharp sword!
And some beer in a dish!
And look!
I can hop up and down on the ball!
But that is not all!
Oh, no.
That is not all…
“Look at me!
Look at me NOW!
It is fun to have fun
But you have to know how.
I can hold up the rum!
And the beer and the dwarf!
I can hold up these staffs!
And Imp on an animorph!
I can hold the sharp little sword!
And a little blond Elf!
And look! With my foot
I can hold a geek fan!
I can fan with the fan
As I hop on the ball!
But that is not all.
Oh, no.
That is not all…”
That is what Gandalf said…
Then he fell on his head!
He came down with a bump
From there up on the ball.
And Frodo and Sam,
They saw ALL the things fall!
And Gollum came down too,
He fell into a pot!
He said, “Do we like this?
Oh, no! We do not.
This is not a good game,”
Said Gollum as he lit.
“No we do not like it,
Not one little bit!”
“Now look what you did!”
Said Gollum to Gandalf.
Now look at this house!
Look at stairs! Look at shelf!
You sank our sharp sword,
Sank it deep in the dwarf.
You shook up our house
And you bent animorph!
You SHOULD NOT be here
When Baggins is not.
You get out of this house!”
Said Gollum in the Pot.
“But I like to be here.
Oh, I like it a lot!”
Said Gandalf in the Hat
To Gollum in the pot.
“I will NOT go away.
I do NOT wish to go!
And so,” said Gandalf in the Hat,
“So
So
So…
I will show you
Another good game that I know!”
And then he ran out.
And, then, as fast as a fox,
Gandalf in the Hat
Came back in with a box.
A big red wood box.
It was shut with a hook.
“Now look at this trick,”
Said Gandalf.
“Take a look!”
To be continued next Suess Saturday...
