Hsu [This was originally a duet between Faramir and Frodo, and when it became obvious that that wouldn't work, I made it a counterpoint between Faramir and Pippin. The lyrics just wrote Merry into the picture automagically.] PIPPIN: When I get older, losing my hair, Even on my feet Will you still be calling me to Evendim? FARAMIR: For a mission, or on a whim? If I've gone witless, just like the old Lords of Numenor PIPPIN AND MERRY: Would you still write me Would you still knight me When I'm eleventy-four? You'll be older too And if you send for me I'll come stay with you PIPPIN: I could be handy, fetching your keys Underneath the throne You can always spot me through a Palantir FARAMIR: (Though there's two *he'll* never go near!) Scouring Ithilien, hunting for orcs [*], What are vassals for? PIPPIN AND FARAMIR: Will you still mail me Will you still hail me When I'm eleventy-four? PIPPIN: Every decade we can skirt the Forest And the barrow wights, if the coast is clear PIPPIN AND MERRY: We shall bow and scrape Down upon bended knee While folks gawk and gape! PIPPIN: Send me a missive, drop me a line, Is all well, milord? Tell me how it's going down in Tirith-town FARAMIR: Yours sincerely, peer of the crown Give me your answer, King of the New Arnor and Gondor! PIPPIN AND MERRY: Will you demand me Could you still stand me When I'm eleventy-four?

My very brief filk-writing career has produced only four songs, two of them Beatles parodies: "Varda in the Sky with Starlight" (which is now part of the E-text at http://flyingmoose.org/tolksarc/book/book2_07.htm) "Davo Sin" (a version of "Let it Be") which turns up on the web at http://www.geocities.com/adanost/parmandur/amonhen162.html; The other two were Beach Boys spoofs, "Lothlorien Elves", which appears at http://www.kddresearch.org/TEUNC/Morwen/me/falassioni.htm and the apparently much inferior "Surfin' Beleriand" which remains in newsgroup limbo at http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en|lang_pt|lang_es&newwind ow=1&selm=dsalo-ya02408000R2012981306110001%40news.doit.wisc.edu ###### From: bhsu@ringil.cis.ksu.edu (William H.
