Summary: A lovestruck hobbit cook gets his first glimpse of Arwen Undomiel guring the 4th Age visit to Arnor (via the edges of the Shire).
Ode to a Star Queen
.
.
I swear on my best carving knife
that never before in my life
a lovelier sight I have seen
than the beauteous Elven Star Queen!
.
Now many a grand cake I’ve made
but She puts them all in the shade
no mixed berry tart can compare
to the blackcurrant hue in Her hair
.
Her fair skin, Her lips and Her eyes
more appealing than Lemon Surprise
no jam roly-poly could be
as sweet or as fragrant as She
.
My best apple crumble it seems
cannot steal Her place in my dreams
Her breathtaking smile can expunge
all delight in my famous cream sponge
.
Her form of such elegant grace
does my joy in smooth custard replace
Her laugh is a sweet concertina
Far better than my semolina
.
If I were a minstrel I’d sing
of the happy delight She can bring
compare Her to Sun and to Moon
and sweet Summer flowers in June
.
But a cook from Frogmorton am I
Using puddings is all I can try
To describe the great beauty I’ve seen
This glorious Elven Star Queen
