The Hobbit Hole VIII - Still round the corner we may meet...

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner we may meet...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Okay, that explains that :) Hobbit Backgammon=romantic Tic Tac Toe :) So where does Scrabble come in, then?

BTW, I see that was back when the thread was over 50,000 posts--ah, those were the days. . . :)

I was just worried Scrabble was, um, advanced backgammon or something.

Rose and I never played backgammon...

She did a great flamenco dance once, though.

"I surrender"

Does it mean that I'm a SF geek that I read that and thought "Jean-Luc Picard"?

It was especially funny, on my trips to Mexico.

My Spanish is really spotty. Pretty poor, really. But the funny part is that the drunker I got in bars in Cabo, or PV... after awhile I'd start lapsing into French instead of spanish... The looks from the bartenders was priceless...
