The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^
Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
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! |

The heat index (which is the temperature with the humidity factored in, I believe) reached 103 degrees here today... I think I'll open the door for a stranger with a stocking cap on!!!

Give her some slack... heat fries peoples' brains and she probably didn't have many to start...

Heh! You're a nut. In a good way.
If someone robbed me like that, I'd probably go ahead and go along with it...but they better not screw up or not pay attention. Given the opportunity, I'd kill 'em in their tracks. Especially if my kids were around.
Remember that rat in my coop? It wasn't paying attention.

I'd probably do all I could to get out of violence if my kids aren't around...but I figure a baddie is unpredictable...drugs might be the motivation...and if my kids are around, I'm going to do my best not to let them near them.

I've already trained Rebecca to do one of two things if ~anyone~ ever tries to take her.
1)Fight and scream like holy hell. Scratch, bite, kick, curse and, if at all possible, grab and twist somewhere especially sensitive.
2)Drop into complete dead weight. Make your body as limp, floppy and heavy as possible. When the person bends down to get a better grip on you, stand up as fast and hard as you can, aiming for the face.
I've been telling her this since she was 2, believe it or not.
And she kicked the pediatrician right in the you-know-wheres once, when he went to examine her ~down there~.
I think I already told you all THAT story. :-D

~sigh~ No, I didn't.
I haven't had time to even fill up the gas tank lately.
I have to do it tomorrow or I won't make it to work.
Which could be a ~good~ thing.
