The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

So was "the Discovery Cbannel" I'd better quit before I get in any deeper.

Yeah - a couple years ago now one touched down on this side of the mountains, took out one old barn and petered out. We don't even get really good thunderstorms often here.

Saw a funnel cloud that never touched down, one time in Eastern WA, which is flat ag land, and hotter.... They'd be much more probable there but they're still very rare. We used to chase thunderstorms in college, just to watch the lightning. :~D

Steve is obviously off line or he would have commented about my typo before I had a chance to do so.

Well, the convenient part of that is that it ~is~ the weekend now. ecurbh is on the couch. He got nappish a bit ago.

Today we replaced some of the moldy green old electric tape with new clean white tape... which Cyn found fascinating.

She's inspecting the rest of the fence... trying to figure out how it all works... "Hey... I don't think this thing is even is on!"

In time, even this event lost it's appeal.

She's such a strange horse.... she'll drop and roll right at your feet.

Beautiful!

You know, I've never been to the Grand Canyon, and I've been there many times.... Heck... I was born in Arizona (moved to Babylonia).

I remembered that lyric wrong, didn't I?

It was "born in California", wasn't it?

I guess I can't use it.

Now when he was a young man he never thought he'd see (King Tut)
People stand in line to see the boy king (King Tut)
How'd you get so funky (funky Tut)
Then you'd do the monkey
(Born in Arizona moved to Babylonia King Tut)

Now if I'd known the line would form to see him (King Tut)
I'd take up all my money and buy me a museum (King Tut)
Buried with a donkey (funky Tut)
He's my favorite honky
(Born in Arizona moved to Babylonia King Tut)

Dancing by the Nile
Ladies loved the style (waltzing Tut)
Rocking for a mile (walking Tut)
He ate a crocodile
He gave his life for tourism
Golden idol
He's an Egyptian!
They're selling you

Now when I die now don't think I'm a nut
Don't want no fancy funeral just one like old King Tut (King Tut)
He coulda won a grammy (King Tut)
Buried in his jammies
(Born in Arizona moved to Babylonia
Born in Arizona got a condo made of stone-a (sic) King Tut)

You came right through our area, then - we're north of Denver, not too far south of the WY border.

One of these days I want to take a few weeks to visit New Mexico and Arizona...maybe some of Utah. It's a part of the country I'm totally unfamiliar with.
