I was wondering what happened to the opening poem of the books. It never made it into the movies. I rather liked the whole "one ring to rule them all" thing. I think it would have been a great start for the movies but it never was in the movies as a whole piece, only parts of it spoken by Gandalf in Bilbo's house for example. Does anyone know how this came to pass? Perhaps a legal issue with Tolkiens's son Christopher?
Just curious.
