The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!
Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Let them go! Let them go!
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 am a pirate two hundred years too late.
The cannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late.
I've done a bit of smugglin'
I've run my share of grass.
I made enough money to buy Miami,
But I pissed it away so fast,
Never meant to last, never meant to last.
I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks,
But I've got to stop wishin',
Got to go fishin', I'm down to rock bottom again.
Just a few friends, just a few friends.
Happy Birthday Ramius!
To: RosieCotton
I'm not sure.
But I'm sure they have nasty storms!
But I'd go surfing to challenge the sharks, of course. So, the weather can't be ~too~ nasty or it would defeat the purpose. ;-D

I'll be there! I'll scuba-dive the Great Barrier Reef, and to complete it we can parachute off Ayers Rock.

So what's happening in here? birthdays and butchering live animals?
I've been all distracted on the wedding thread LF linked to. For a person who hates weddings, I sure like talking about them ;~D
To: JenB; Lil'freeper
Rosie can tell you about the weird noises I was making. Hey Lil...maybe you should ping Jen to the "Walter" thread...

Is this year the big 4-0?
Heh...my last shop supervisor in the Air Force turned 40 within a day or so of the squadron Christmas party, so in front of the whole squadron we gave him a ton of gag gifts: black balloons (latex...sorry, Ruthy!), Depends, Metamucil, even a cane, I think. He was a good sport about it.
Now...it doesn't seem all that far off.

Not so fast there, chica.
I haven't even conquered my fear of roaches yet! LOL!

Maybe I should go work on the report I need to finish.
*harumph* Reports are boring.
To: HairOfTheDog
I've been off defending Harry Potter... you'd think he'd be able to take care of himself, but no...

Weddings are happy moments in a weary world.
We're all romantics at heart, sis. Can't help it!

Can't have been very long ago.
I'm hitting a landmark number next year. *sigh* I know, it's not that big of deal, and it's just a number, but I thought I'd have a bunch of kids by now.
At least by then I'll have a niece or nephew. I'm really looking forward to that, though I wish I wasn't so far away!

I'm expecting big things from Neville this year. He'll have his OWN wand, and won't be using the hand-me-down that belonged to his Dad.

Weddings are happy moments in a weary world. We're all romantics at heart, sis. Can't help it! Yes, they *should* be, but sometimes happy gets trampled by fire-breathing bridezillas.
To: SuziQ
Yep! Neville will rock.
I hope whatsisname... darn... the kid at DA who doesn't much like Harry... makes another appearance.
