The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

New thread... And I didn’t even know there was anything wrong with the old one.

Considering all the cold and snow folks are getting...it’s kind of comforting.

Somewhere in one of my innumerable boxes of stuff, I have a vinyl album - remember those? - that has Tolkien reading poems and singing songs (including this one) on the front, and on the back he reads "Riddles in the Dark."
Some dude is
selling this one on eBay - it's the only image I could find, so I guess I'll pimp his auction in return for yoinking his pic.

Good for you. I don’t have the stomach for politics right now.
