I'm surprised to see the full tolkien version... there's that other shortened version you always hear too.

It reminds me of a short poem which appears in a little book of illustrated vignettes. The author/illustrator is David Sanford, if I recall correctly. It's not quite the same without the illustrations that go with it, but this might give you an idea:

In an inn late one day
Three blind men dressed in grey
Sat still for an hour
And smiled.

Then they all ordered beer,
Shouted, "We like it here!"
Which encouraged the crowd
To go wild.

They were joined by strange apes
Who ate buttons and grapes
And they all talked of pictures
And plants.

And at just about dawn
They all moseyed on
Wearing only big buckets
And pants.
