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!

we are all supposed to report to the city emergency coordinator's office about where we are planning to shelter

They have enough operators to take all those calls?

Time to cut the city budget...

Do I need to get my tinfoil hat?

Only if it's in a basement or a small interior room.

Paranoid dear! Just help them.... are you going to be in the basement or in the rubble that used to be the garage, or did you go to Auntie Em's?

You could save them a lot of digging. :~D

LOL! "But Mr. Hung, how can you do Kung Fu like that?--you're out of shape!" "I'm not out of shape: just overweight!"

I dunno, they've been sayin' it for about 3 months now.

Ya know, even if a tornado comes, how are they gonna know who was at home or at work to go to what designated place. And tornadoes are usually confined to smaller areas. Really, the F-5's show up rarely. And with them, there is nothing left to dig ya out from!

I don't have a basement... or a shelter... if it's at night, I'll go to bed. If it's in the day I'll probably be by the window that gives me the best view.

I'll take my chances. I think I lived in the country too long to change some of these ways.
