If you are a Mortal, do not weary the Elves by asking them to distinguish who wrote which part. If you are the Dark Lord, we do not have to talk to you unless... well, you know the rest, we don't have to spell it out for you.

When the beep sounds, do not waste your time leaving a message. We are busy singing, or eating, or sitting and thinking, or riding out on errantry. We have all the time in the world, but no time to listen to messages, unless they are brought by proper messengers.


So you see, two thirds of this are quite funny. The first lines are pretty good to, though.

Good enough, then. No, no time for voice messaging! Heh!

Hah! This is my favorite one so far.

:)

Author Reply: Ummm, must admit I kowtowed to a few elf-cliches here. (Elves are distant, unapproachable, something like that). I dunno (scratching head). They really don't read all that unapproachable in "The Hobbit" which we are re-reading at the moment.
