Not another Middle-earth RHYME!

[Naurind]

Do what you can in this game about rhyme
There shall be no winners or losers this time
But please, you must know, there’s a limit on span
Two to four lines each if you can.

As the thread master I have the obvious need
To begin this idea in a way you’ll take heed
A few stanzas from me shall give you a clue
On what it is you must do.

I shall start with a couplet, and you follow on
Each person continues as if it were song
Rhyming hither and thither until we have scored
A splendid verse that Ol’ Bilbo would reward

Normal rhyming and assonance are allowed in this game
As some words can be hard to fit into the frame
And others still may not make any sense
‘Cept to those whose logic may be dense. ;)

I can see a great epic growing in this thread,
A large tale of grandeur, when all is done and said
But when that shall be, I don’t know.
Perhaps it is time to get on with the show?

If you have any queries or suggestions to make
Please PM them to me, for Eru’s sake.

On a cold winter's night walked a lonely young man
Going south, with his dog black and tan.
the weather was freezing
their breath did smoke
passing Inns by
for the young man was broke

As the two passed a feline,
it's owner got fear,
but the K9 was benign,
his boss needed beer :-)

As the dog quickly knocked on the door,
Passersby couldn't tell what they saw

Passersby couldn't tell what they saw

Squinting in the dark they sought and tried
standing on their tip toes to look inside
Knocking again they waited with a sigh
and watched all the other people calmly pass them by

The door opened quickly with a bang and a creak
And into the lodgings they both did creep
The man and the dog looking around did see
Only some thing the next verse will tell to thee

the room was warm, cozy and snug
beer was served to those who wished it by the mug
with the smell of food creeping to them
they stepped inside the light outside growing dim
