The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

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!

I'll be standing on the porch with the shotgun... doing my best to look menacing.

I guess I deserve that. I just tried to take it back, but calling the Hotel number on the caller ID got me the front desk, they they have no idea which guest called me.

She prolly won't show up anyhow. I've done enough social work to know that most screw-ups also never keep appointments they make.

I would love to be on a jury! I got called up, I showed up, but they always seated the jury before my name was called out of the pool. That happened all week. I felt rejected personally.

I don't have any room in the fridge! Perhaps I should drink some more Guinness.

Guess I'll have to tough it out without the ice melt....don't feel like going out and I've been through ice events before without it.
