Bombadil led them to his house,
which looked like a giant mushroom.
“This is my house”, said he,
“which looks like a giant mushroom. However, do not be fooled by appearances” he
continued, “ for this is a giant mushroom.”
The hobbits looked at each other,
then at Tom Bombastic. The looked at
each other again and shrugged. As long
as there was the chance of free food from this moron, they were happy.
“And this…” he said proudly,
gesturing to a golden-haired woman, “is my lovely Goldberry!”.
It was a vision of beauty that
the hobbits had never before beheld. She
looked absolutely stunning, with long golden hair and an amazing body. She turned round to the entranced fat little
creatures, and their jaws crashed to the floor.
She had the face of a horse.
Not metaphorically; she literally
had the face of a horse. Some cruel
genetic trick had been played on her perhaps, or maybe a curse had been put on
her.
“Would you like some honeyed
tea?” she asked sweetly.
“Neigh” said everyone, unable to
stop themselves.
