The Hobbit

I am doing this for homeschool homework. I read The Hobbit.

WARNING: This poem contains spoilers for The Hobbit.

The cozy, old hill sat there, all alone
But twas a very comfy hobbit's hole.
He sat by the fire, with a good morning start,
His name was Bilbo, full of good heart

He then heard a knock at his oddly-shaped door,
He got up from his chair and walked 'cross the clean floor.
When he opened it up, what did he see?
The friendly, old Gandalf, looking quite glee!

They sat and talked for a short time,
When Gandalf left, Bilbo began to dine.
The next day, he had opened his door,
To find 13 dwarves, they walked onto his floor.
To take advantage of the food galore,
They sat and ate while Bilbo was bore.

They needed him for a special mission,
That meant Bilbo had no time for decision.
They needed to kill Smaug, the o'mighty dragon.
To reclaim the treasure, they needed Mr. Baggins.
A forest, a river, a high mountain trail,
They passed through all with no snow or hail. 
The spiders webs, the Elvish land,
The men who gave them all a hand.

Bard, the worthy hero of men, 
Slayed Smaug outside his treasure-filled den.
The dwarves would not give any gold,
It was all theirs, not needing to be told.
The men wanted their small share,
After all, wasn't it fair?
Bard killed the dragon, no reward was given,
War broke out, and only few were livin'.
The goblins, the wolves, the elves and the men 
The dwarves kept the gold in the dragon den.
The leader of the dwarves,  name was Thorin,
Died after war, his burial within.
It was a sad but happy time,
War had stopped, and all was fine.
