Poetry Thursday: "The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late," by J.R.R. Tolkien

J.R.R. Tolkien was a pretty good nonsense poet.

You can find this poem in the chapter "At the Sign of the Prancing Pony" in The Fellowship of the Ring, as well as in Tales from the Perilous Realm. It was originally printed on its own in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.

Enjoy!
