The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...
Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Now that’s an interesting picture!Never mind the wine glass, which might be photoshopped. How did they come up with the perfect expression on the cat's face?

I’m sure LF appreciates the ping! ;-) Indeed... I currently have "This One" stuck in my head.
McCartney songs are like pinon sap. They get really really ~stuck~.

Heh...I woke up with Elton John’s “The One” stuck in my head. Does that help?

Why is it raining again? Ugh.
At least it isn’t supposed to rain for long. Or hard. But it was still a depressing thing to wake up to.

Now I have Centerfield stuck in my head, though.

Smart aleck. ;-)
Yeah, I know it’s not much as rain goes. But can you imagine what the Chehalis folks are thinking if it’s raining there? It’s like kicking them when they’re down. :-\

Yeah - they don’t need it at all. I think they’ve finally got it draining. The problem was the water was sticking around and not heading down river. They had to breach some levies that were holding it in.

Heh...I woke up with Elton John’s “The One” stuck in my head. Does that help? No!! Because that triggered George Harrison's "Life Itself"
You are the one
You are my love
You send the rain and bring the sun
You stand alone and speak the truth
You are the breath of life itself, oh yes you are
You are the one
I like Harrison two orders of magnitude better than McCartney, and it's the sweetest song in the world, but it's playing over and over and over in my head.
Urgh!

Hah. Officemate and I decided to counter the earworm with The Waitresses’ “Christmas Wrapping.”
Such a marvelous bah-humbug.
