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!

We have no doubt that thenewboy could do better. Someone once said ‘I may not know art but I know what I like’. That’s case for me and most modern art.

Pretty good story about a piece of modern sculpture that was put in at Lambert Field in StL. It was put in storage during a terminal renovation and then reinstalled. Seems the artist saw it and threw a fit when he saw the crew had reintalled it, apparently upside down. Looked the same to me.

Yep. Yesterday Msdrby came in and asked if I knew Bittygirl could use a mouse.

Well yeah, I've been teaching her. Seems BG showed how she could start a movie all by herself.

I’ve been trying to get Spiderboy interested in building model airplanes.

Bittygirl is FAR more interested. She’s a regular HobbitLass

Today being the 15th, and lunch orders for next Saturday being taken on Monday, I’m going to assume that anyone who has not said they’re coming, is not coming.

Thank you all for prayers and good wishes. We will provide pictures when we can.
