The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...
Posted on 03/15/2004 1:45:41 PM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
But not yet weary are our feet...
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! |

OK... now THIS is scary, and I don't care WHO you're talking about. :-) You don't have to listen!
And anyway, you know we're not talkin' about you. After all, you are the one who has insisted for so long that you are a nice guy! :-)

I haven't heard anything about an Amber Alert yet.
And I have never been asked for ID when picking up a kid. The kids I've picked up have not always been mine either. *sigh*

It's a relatively recent thing. I think within the last five years.

UGH! The news is still talking about that gorilla that got shot and the deputy chief who didn't respond to the call because he was at his second job when it happened. Oh, and the trial of the woman in east Texas who killed her kids with a rather large stone ~ evidently she is pleaing insanity.

Well... gonna bail out now...
I'll check in later, but it might be quite later. Prayers forward for the nabbed kid. I sure hope that one comes out in some kind of non-hopeless way. :-(

Well, I picked up kids this school year for a friend... from an elementary school ... they didn't ask for an ID. I just went in the office and told the lady at the desk that I needed these 3 kids. I had a note from the mom but they didn't ask for an ID.
And I dunno if this law is supposed to apply to high schools or not, but I picked up Myranda early several times and was never asked for an ID. This was why I said I was already concerned about the issue. I would sign the sheet to take her out and they would send me back out to my vehicle and send a student to the classroom to remove her from class. She did not need to go by the office after I signed her out.
It concerned me because I was thinking anyone who looked old enough could walk in and get any student out of school. Seemed to me a truancy issue possibly. But, they did things that way here both the years Myranda was in school here.
