"Song of the Lonely Tolkien Fan, Or: There and Back-Before-it-Ended Again (Extended version)":

Now that The Hobbit has come out on video, I feel it's appropriate to re-post my lyrical review: 

"Song of the Lonely Tolkien Fan, Or: There and Back-Before-it-Ended Again (Extended version)":

It drove them, greedy ambition bold/
To seek out treasure, as dragons did of old/
They slave away, both night and day/
To pile up stores of, ill-gotten gold/

Fans began feeling, that something wasn't right/
Their groans resounding, in the night/

The film was bloated, the story's soul was lost/
The movie tickets, had not been worth the cost/

The news would spread, it was a dread/
Those who like halflings, should read the book instead!/
