The Hobbit Hole XII - Tree and flower and leaf and grass
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Tree and flower and leaf and grass

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!

Tho... on the whole I think we were safe enough about it.

Yes! We were! And I think only ONE of us had been drinking! :-)

I was averaging across the group. If one person out of six has had six drinks, then the group has had one drink per person.

Statistics. They don't lie. :-)

hehehehe.....we get enough enough for a coat for at least one day a year, Rose! That's all I need, one night out with that coat....

What a treat! My mom has a black rabbit coat that I would always borrow, until I was afraid a PETA freak would dump red paint on me.

If I wanted bacon, I'd eat bacon!

If I never try cute lil' baby seal, I'll never miss it!

It's called strategery! LOL!

Once you've felt seal fur... you don't go back to mink. That would seem to be part of the problem.

I'm using the same strategery with fur as I do with food.

If I never touch seal fur, I'll never know it's better than all the others. ;-)

I think one person out of 5 had about 20 drinks. Bad odds there... but I didn't have a drink that day... neither did Ruthy or 2J I think..... so, where'd they all go? :-D

That's like saying... if you've never tried heroin then you won't bother smoking.

Yah. Ok. :-)
