| Blunt the Knives |
|---|
| Blunt the knives and bend the forks! |
| Smash the bottles and burn the corks! |
| Chip the glasses and crack the plates! |
| That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates |
| Cut the cloth and trail the fat! |
| Leave the bones on the bedroom mat! |
| Pour the milk on the pantry floor! |
| Splash the wine on every door! |
| Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl; |
| Pound them up with a thumping pole; |
| And when you’ve finished, if they are whole |
| Send them down the hall to roll! |
| That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates! |
