Ode to Ugluk

At present I am listening to The Two Towers by J.R.R Tolkien read by Andy Serkis and he’s an amazing narrator as you would expect.

The orcs fascinate me, they’re so monstrous and menacing and yet a bit comical (especially in a certain scene in the film version, like an orc-sitcom, the bit with “meat being back on the menu”) Anyway, as a homage, I’ve written something. It flew into my mind just now, with the same swiftness of the black speech that spews forth from Sauron’s tongue. Here is my masterpiece:

“No meat,

Maggot-y bread,

Grog too good,

Now I have a sore head.”

The End
