Smaug the Mighty

Coils writhe, scales clank and clatter
On gem encrusted golden belly
he undulates. Under mountain peak
he makes his darksome home.
His den of evil, once a Dwarven palace.

Mighty is he, the killer of many,
little knowing that his doom nears.
Lying on his hoard, luxuriating.
Unlikely burglar bringing death
in his pocket. Most peculiar, this Hobbit.

You're right that it was Bard of Laketown that killed Smaug, but I was actually referring to the One Ring (that Bilbo had in his pocket) which was a source of great power over life and death in the Lord of the Rings. I was referring to death in general associated with the ring, but Bilbo's use of the ring also let him see the weak point in Smaug's armor, which eventually got to Bard.

hah. i can imagine this one being read as this Hobbit or whatever enters a room somewhere. like at a palace or party.. and at the words, "the Hobbit," he would burst from behind the doors. neat.
