The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

Yes, I've had them try to sell it to me before too...but not this late! And this was one weird sounding fellow.

No, it wasn't the Schwann Man...he told me he was with some meat company or something. We were pretty startled and I'm so darned deaf! It was hard to tell what he was saying and he was talking weird...babyish...maybe like a lisp?

But now you've got my stomach growling, thinkin' about Schwann's polish sausages...mmmm...

"Believe it or not there are people that actually buy up old meat cuts from distributors and then try to sell them door to door."

They call it "aged".

Is General Chat related to General Disk Failure in any way?

LOL! Yeah, it's an interesting mental picture.

OK, now I'm REALLY going to bed.

Good night!

Would it ever occur to you that buying meat from some guy going door to door would ever, ever be a good idea?

Rosie and XGI...Sorry I missed you both!

Evenin to everyone else who is still here!

Funny thing, we just had a door-to-door meat saleslady show up here nary a week ago.

I opened the door and she's standing there rattling off in Spanish about how they have to get rid of all of this meat, etc etc. I can't imagine anyone buying meat like that.
