How bored are you?

[Gwaithmir]

I haven't been bored at all since this virus business started. Although I haven't been going out much for over a month, I've been living a mostly reclusive life ever since I retired in 2001. For now, I'm doing my spring cleaning and catching up on my reading. There's always something to do. I'm considering getting back to writing Middle Earth fan fiction.

Please write a story where Tom Bombadil and Gandalf debate whether Tom should keep the Ring.

It would have to be a meeting that took place after the War of the Ring, since Gandalf was at or near Isengard at the time Frodo brought the One ring to Bombadil's house. Near the end of The Return of the King Gandalf expressed a desire to visit Bombadil, although I can't recall the reason for such a visit. However, it might have entailed a discussion on why the One Ring was not left in the woodsman's care and what eventually became of it. I will seriously consider your request.
