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! |

Because freckles are mentioned in the first line? The titles don't always make much more sense than the songs. But they sure are pretty, when you don't know what they're singing.
Same with the ending song. That's been changed too, though I like this one better than the first ending...

Oh my gosh! The only thing not good is that I need something dependable enough to be able to keep up with the thousands of miles I drive every year. *sheesh*
I want that truck!!!
I left off looking for me a truck and went to look for her a dependable car instead. But, then, I found '67 Camaro. *sigh*

Heh...I feel the same about certain musical instruments.
Staying broke works as an antidote for me. ;-)

But they sure are pretty, when you don't know what they're singing.Oh, yeah, that's like the MST3K Gamera song I was describing before: sounds catchy but the words make no sense, so you just make up your own words to go with it :) Hey, you ever heard the Japanese-sounding Shonen Knife song that goes with Powerpuff Girls?--it's kind of like that, too--the song rocks but the lyrics are ungrammatical (deliberately in this case as a tribute to Japanese anime songs, I believe):
Buttercup (I'm A Super Girl)
Kicking out a bad guy
Beating up a monster
Fighting against evil
I’ll rescue this town
Over the buildings
Over the mountains
Over the blue sky
Over the rainbow
You know I’m a super girl
Yes I’m a punky girl
I never say die
No one can stop me
Flying at a high speed
Having the courage
Getting over crisis
I’ll rescue the people
Over the buildings
Over the mountains
Over the blue sky
Over the rainbow
You know I’m a super girl
Yes I’m a punky girl
I never say die
No one can stop me
Cos I like to fight!

Maybe you should become a used car dealer/collector? :)
BTW, you got a palindrome at 5005 :)
To: RosieCotton
I'm not completely broke.
And my bank loves to loan me money.
[sigh]
I want the Camaro or the 54 pickup. It would be smart if I'd just told Myranda I'd give her some cash and let her shop herself!

But...the way you raised her, would you be completely surprised if she ended up with the Camaro or 54 pickup herself? ;-)

I would make a very good car and Harley collector! I could really put my heart into that occupation!!! LOL
It took all the stamina I could find to sell off excess motorcycles and cages a few years ago. It's just that I seem to have something that draws them to me!

She sorta wants something more along the lines of an early 70's Chevelle. Or maybe a Mopar muscle car from that era.
But, at the moment, she is needing something to get her back and forth across Texas. It's 150 miles from where she's living now to where she plans to start school in August. And that is right at 400 miles from here. So, it would be her responsibility in this case to find a vehicle that would be dependable enough to drive that regularly.
My pickup is the perfect answer for her. But, that means I need to find something equally dependable for myself.

Powerpuff Girls are scary... really scary. One of the shows I try to avoid. But then, American cartoons have been without redeeming value since Pinky and the Brain went off the air.
Oh man, looks like I have only two more episodes left in the first half of the set! It better not end before they all go home happy!
