Orophin's Limericks

 

A purple rabbit instead of a spouse

A tree of birch in which to grouse

Counted among kings,

Now he plays flute and sings

Welcome to the first homely house

[Answer: Haldir]

 

With a brother I was blessed

But on the fences was second guessed

If not for this elf

I’d likely have shot myself

So it’s good he came with me to the West

[Answer: Rumil]

 

The cleverest of insults whispered under her breath

If you’re late for dinner, it could mean your death

The secret is out

I think I shall shout

The first homely house is run by an elleth

[Answer: Celebrian]

 

Yet unseen and yet unheard

Yet unnamed and without word

Though I don’t act my age

I am now at a stage

Where another sibling seems absurd

[Answer: Tallasinde (who was yet unnamed at the time this was written)]
