Summary: An Uruk's musings on poetry.

There's poetry to everythin'. You won't believe it, rat, but that's the way squeakin' sounds, and the yellin' when you twist a bone just right. They're sayin' hearin' it is an elvish strain, fah! Can't be, their blood's thin in me, pointy-eared bastards too fine for sunlight. Uruk-hai walk in it! If there's elf in me, it's what the first Orcs had. Nearly as good as Uruks those were, stronger than the poncy Lórien maggots, or even those horse-men. Riders fancying themselves poets when all they'll be is dead soon. Their only poetry'll be their dying sounds, now that's music.
