Ode to Haldir

I’ve been watching The Lord of the Rings moves while I exercise. Today I reached the part where Haldir dies in The Two Towers and composed this poem.
PJ, why did you kill Haldir?
That really, really stinks.
Why did you kill Haldir?
It’s worse than having to wear all pink (er…maybe…not).
Why did you kill Haldir, PJ?
That part is so sad.
Why did you kill Haldir?
That idea was bad.
I wish you hadn’t died, Haldir.
PJ sent you to your grave.
I wish you hadn’t died.
You were certainly a fave[orite].

So maybe it’s not the most epic of poems.
Well, honestly, I can see why he (Peter Jackson, the director) killed him (Haldir) (indirectly). Haldir wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place (it’s not in the book). PJ would have had to add another part showing what happened to Haldir to satisfy the audience (or me, at least).
I wrote this in between French lessons, and now I must continue with them.
Have an amazing rest of your life!
