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!

By the way, who added "1CHEAPDATE" to the keyword, and why?

Are you looking for one?

[JenB]

Nah, if I wanted a cheap date I could get one.

[Corin Stormhands]

[RosieCotton]

Those all showed up the day Ecurbh and Hair met for lunch and were deciding which inexpensive fast food type place to go to.

I'm not sure if they're the keyword spammers or not, though. ;-)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

You should have looked before you keyworded... ;)

[Corin Stormhands]

~sigh~

I get no respect around here.

[SuziQ]

I don't think Perdido got too much from this storm, only because I haven't heard anything about it. I do know that Dauphin Island, just South of Mobile got slammed!

[SuziQ]

Hey! I just saw the guy with the 'ugly woman, 2 dogs, the guns and the claw hammer"! He said he wanted to open up his store so he could sell his Oriental rugs to the soldiers in town! He was interviewed on CNN as the network was showing parts of NO that had not been damaged by either the hurricane or the flooding after it. There are parts of the Garden District that are high and dry! They also showed the French Quarter, which is dry as well. Their problem is that there is no power or water.

[SuziQ]

ROTFL!! Did you Photoshop that?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Heh, I don't add keywords very often, so when I find a good one I jump on it.

[Corin Stormhands]

No, I stole it from another thread.

[JenB]

So yer a theif now too, eh?

[Corin Stormhands]

Justifiable looting.

[JenB]

That doesn't look like food 'n water to me.

[Corin Stormhands]

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.

[JenB]

Well, I need a couple thousand bucks and a vacation home in Hawaii.

[Corin Stormhands]

Don't look at me. That's not within my abilities...

[JenB]

Suuure it's not, I think you're just not trying hard enough.

[RosieCotton]

I need a fancy new guitar, and about a hundred CDs.

Oh...and a job.

[Corin Stormhands]

Typical entitlement mentality.
