[ NaPo 2021 ] [ OPAR ] Enigmas

  
He was that old;  
    
this jolly fellow who could recall      
the first raindrops falling    
on freshly acornamented oaks    
     
Not quite man-sized    
but say, taller than a hobbit    
jacketed blue and booted yellow    
     
And when adorning his fair hand    
with The One Ring freely offered    
he didn't disappear, seemingly    
remaining unaffected by its power    
     
Thus it was that old Tom, unconcerned    
with the fate of a mere trinket      
or of Middle Earth's free peoples    
could not be bothered or badgered    
or even trusted to take the mission    
of melting it down in the fires of Orodruin    
seriously    
     
He was that powerful
