B2MeM Prompt: March 3: Think of something that happened to you today and write down the first thing that comes to mind. Start your fanwork with your character having a similar experience or performing a similar task.
Format: Poem

Characters: n/a (unnamed early hobbits)
Pairings: n/a
Creator’s Notes: An adaptation of Bilbo's bath song as sung by Pippin in FOTR. (If you think that in-universe Bilbo could not possible have adapted material originally relating to the Plague for his song, do remember that some jolly-sounding European children's songs refer to very dark times. Apologies, however, if anyone finds the association disturbing!)
