The Tolkien Joke and Meme thread

[Erestor Arcamen]

*gaspe* can we post Star Wars prequel memes there???

Does this work?

This thread should really be in Bag End. I wasn't in a "position" to move it, at the time I revived it.

Then the "Non-" thread could be in Floating Log.

Anyway:

I mean this one was always just the “joke and meme thread” and people sort of auto aligned it to Tolkien only, but it’s definitely open to be a mixed bag

Of the long years of peace that followed after the coming of Denethor there is little tale. In those days, it is said, Daeron the Minstrel, chief loremaster of the kingdom of Thingol, devised his Runes; and the Naugrim that came to Thingol learned them, and were well-pleased with the device...

Actually, back to page 3, and up to 10 ...
Ah yes, the wild and halcyon days of my "TTF-youth", just over a month after joining ... 😊 ... and a "retiree-pup", at 63 ... 🫣
... and I was quite involved in the back-and-forth that led to the thread's current name, so it stuck in memory.

And yes, I was right.)

At midnight in the museum hall/ The fossils gathered for a ball./ There were no drums or saxophones/ But just the clatter of their bones,/ A rolling, rattling, carefree circus/ Of mammoth polkas and mazurkas./ Pterodactyls and brontosauruses/ Sang ghostly prehistoric choruses./ Amid the mastadonic wassail/ I caught the eye of one small fossil./ “Cheer up, sad world,” he said, and winked./ “It’s kind of fun to be extinct.” Ogden Nash. I find this touching and identify with it.

Also Ogden Nash: Some people sleep with the window open, some people sleep with the window closed, and each other is who they marry.

Here is another: THE PURIST. I give you now Professor Twist, A conscientious scientist. Trustees exclaimed, “He never bungles!” and sent him off to distant jungles. Camped on a tropic river side, one day he missed his loving bride. She had, the guide informed him later, been eaten by an alligator. Professor Twist could not but smile. “You mean,” he said, a crocadile.”

I remember this from ages ago in grade school! 😄
I probably read it the same time I read those other animal/bug related ones I posted.

My two farorite limericks: First There was a young woman namde Sue Whose limericks stopped at lin two. Second There was a young fellow named Dan Whose poetry never would scan. When told it was so, He replied, “Yes, I know. But I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can!”

BTW, Théoden agrees:

There once was a fellow from Lyme
Who married three wives at a time
When asked, why the third?
He replied, one's absurd
And two of them sir, is a crime

A tooter who tooted a flute Tried to teach two young tooters to toot. Said the two to the tutor “is it easier to toot or To tutor two tooters to toot?”
