Who killed King Finwe?
I, Melkor mighty
Smashed his head alright-y
I killed King Finwe.
Who saw him die?
Not even a fly!
For darkest night brought I.
Just I saw him die.
Who caught his blood?
It's dripping down the curbstone
His death he faced oh so alone!
No-one caught his blood.
Who'll make the shroud?
Not his seamstress wife
For she long fled her life!
She'll not make the shroud.
Who'll dig his grave?
Might be his little knave
Of son might be so brave
To dig his own grave!
Who'll...

"Everything makes you hungry."
If a hundred glittering insect eyes could manage a glare, this was it. "Take care lessst I sslake my hunger on you and your ssing-ssong."
