The Raid of the Ring

I wrote this after watching the great debacle of Jackson, mistakenly referred to as The Lord of the Rings. Can you tell how I felt?



The Raid of the Rings
by P. Davis

Three movies not so fine for all under the sky
Summoning the movie sods to their mall of stone
Fine for Mortal Men doomed to sigh
One mess for Jackson upon his throne
In the land of Hollywood, where the great books die.
One mess to ruin it all, one mess for those who do not read
One mess to savage and rend a fine deed
And in the dark movie halls blind them
In the land of Hollywood, where the great books die.
