Hobbits

What would it be like to be a Hobbit?
To live in this world but know nothing of it
To love peace, food, and good tilled earth
To be happy from your moment of birth
To be as small as a child and eat like one too
To never lie and always be true
To live in the ground 
And not make a sound
 When you move in the forest
To be unique and live life with zest
What would it be like to be a Hobbit?
The Shire your home
You rarely roam
Give presents at the parties you throw
And have many a hair on your toe
Speeches are long
You love a good song
It's ale that you drink
At parties, I think
What would it be like to be a Hobbit?

As I read, I was waiting for the 'hair on the toe' and i got it!
I too wish life were as simple...

The Lord of the Rings fangirl is EXTREMELY excited by this poem. A strong sense of curiosity resonates throughout this poem. Good stuff.
