The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

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!

Ugh, but anything can be a weapon in desperate hands.

I'm sure there's a lot going on behind the scenes that we know nothing about. That place is used to large outdoor gatherings, so there will be plenty of porta-potties available. But it's true, with the politics down there, things could get pretty bad. I just hope this new Mayor has his stuff together; he seems to. He seems a lot better than the former Mayor, Morial.

Don't have any lead-launching devices available right now, sad to say.

We can barely move around. Hopefully, no one will offer us a wafer thin after-dinner mint.

We went to Red Lobster. All of us brought home leftovers.

Need an air rifle or a slingshot or something...not too powerful, though. I don't want rounds going into the neighbors' yards.

Maybe I should get some mothballs.

Hmm, I could probably manage a good accuracy rating... "you're doomed, I'm doomed, we're all doomed".

They shoulda got out...
