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!

But that takes all the suspense out of it :(

You want comfort and suspense?

[Overtaxed]

Okay......

[TalonDJ]

And my cake too.... I can't have eaten it ALL....

[RosieCotton]

Nothin' like walking around knowing someone is likely to drop an anvil on your head at any time...

[TalonDJ]

Really? Do you get a lot of anvils too? I thought it was just me. They can be a bit of a headache.

[ExGeeEye]

Goodnight y'all....

[TalonDJ]

layta

[RosieCotton]

LOL! I looked for a good graphic, but didn't find one right off.

[RosieCotton]

'night!

[Overtaxed]

I couldn't find any with anvils or with the little umbrella.

[TalonDJ]

My dream job would be to work for Acme...
Where else can you design rocket powered skates?

[Overtaxed]

I don't know about Acme. Their stuff only works for certain species.

[TalonDJ]

I can just see the specification now...

The skates shall be capable of acceleration on adult coyote to 600 mph in 3 seconds.
The control system shall solely consist of 2 fuses.
Once lit the skates shall accelerate until all fuel has been exhausted.

[TalonDJ]

I did not say I wanted to be a TEST PILOT for acme. Just an engineer.

[Overtaxed]

Acme only works if you're a roadrunner or a rabbit. It backfires if you're a coyote or a duck.

[TalonDJ]

It would be sort of like being Q for MI6 but with less budget oversight and no pesky double 'o' agents giving unfavorable feedback.
