The Mushroom Song  by Kara's Aunty 6 Review(s)

Definitely a song worthy of our Pippin! Nice!

Author Reply: Hello Larner,

Thanks! Glad you liked it. It was fun to write, too, because I got to imagine what exactly the mischievius Took might be prepared to do for his beloved fungi - although I just included the tamer elements in this song...

Thanks for R & R-ing,

M :)

As the son of Shire’s Thain
It’s my duty to refrain
From mischief (so I’ve been taught)
That just means not getting caught


That's our Pippin! He's a cheeky one, indeed :-)

I enjoyed this song a great deal. Thank you very much!

Author Reply: Hello Andrea,

Pippin is a cheeky rascal, isn't he? That's why we love him. I've yet to meet a lady who can resist his impish humour!

I know I can't resist it :)

Thanks for R & R-ing, m'dear I'm glad you enjoyed this!

Kara's Aunty,

If mushrooms are his one true love, I suppose Diamond will be jealous! *grin*

I really enjoyed this song, thank you for posting it! Pippin is my favorite hobbit, I think. I do like all four of the Travellers, though, and Bilbo too.

I see Antane enjoyed it too! I'm glad.

Personally, I don't much care for mushrooms *gasp!* although Shirebound mentioned something about chocolate mushrooms...wonder what our silly Took would think of those!

Well written!

Author Reply: Hello Kaylee Arafinwiel,

Ooh - can you just imagine Pippin's face if had the pleasure of eating a chocolate mushroom?

Dizzy delight!

Thanks for the compliment on the song. I'm happy you liked it! I like elves too, but I can't write elvish poetry - not for the life of me. It always comes out looking too hobbity...

Thanks for R & R-ing,

Kara's Aunty (who loves Elves, Hobbits & everything in-between equally. Apart from Orcs. And Saruman. Not to mention Sauron - you get the picture!)

This is just adorably hobbity, dear!

Author Reply: Hello Dreamflower,

*blushes*

Thanks! It seemed the sort of thing Pippin would sing about ('cos I would, too - I think I must be part-hobbit. I'm certainly short enough).

Thanks for R & R-ing, m'dear,

M :)

Cousin!!!! What a wonderful surprise. I've been searching for days and days and days and here you are! That was just adorable and such a love would fit one of the former worst rascals in Buckland also. :) What a treat. And you know what, just for the fun of it, I went to accuweather.com tonight - my dad wanted to look up something for traveling for Thanksgiving - and I saw you could look up UK too and so I put in Paisley just to see. Looks like you are getting the same type we are. Hope you are well. The sooner you are back, the better I'll be pleased. :)

Namarie, God bless, Melinyel, Your spring berry who would do cartwheels or a jig if she could :)

Author Reply: Hello my Tookish bloom,

so you found your wee poem? I'm so glad. And delighted that it made you smile :)

And yes: the weather in Paisley is absolutely disgraceful. I think it's raining all over the world.

Apart from the Gobi desert.

And it might be [i]snowing[/i] in the North Pole.

Possibly.

*grins*

I'm so very happy to hear you had fun with this, especially because it was just for you.

Thanks for R & R-ing (& hope the rain eases off at your end, too),

Me :)

Adorable. A most hobbity song!

Author Reply: Hello shirebound,

Pip and his stomach, eh? Trust a Took to waste valuable oxygen singing about mushrooms. Not that I blame him - I absolutely love them too!

Glad you enjoyed 'The Mushroom Song' & thanks for R & R-ing, m'dear!

M :)
