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!

Damned Russians.

It's like they've got a different word for ~everything~. You'd think they'd have the basic courtesy to speak english. :-)

Our showers been moving through, should be headed your way. Rained about half inch here, more elsewhere. BUT, we lost about 25 degrees of heat. The weatherweenies are actually talking about maybe being close to the old record LOW of 55. Well, the winders are open and the cats are sniffing like crazy.

They use too many consonants.

They have lots of oil in the Black Sea. Maybe we can trade with them for some vowels.

I heard somewhere today that there some kind of serous problem with the corn crop this year due to lack of rain.

Damn. Apparently not enough of us are drivin' SUV's and emitting particulates into the air to make rain in the midwest.

That does it... I'm gettin' a Grand Cherokee. I gotta do my part. :-)

Sorry... I'll make up for it by disconnecting the catalytic converter for the first few months.

BTW: Have y'all seen the new "Commander" that Jeep is coming out with? Pretty stinkin' cool...
