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! |

Neither one of them looks like me. Hair and I have long suspected that we were either adopted or had something to do with the Dentist that was Dad's best friend. We both look LOTS more like him and his kids than anybody in our family. :-)
I once suspected so much that I was adopted that finally I confronted my Dad and said: "Chang Lau... was I adopted?" He's says "No, number one son, you not adopted".

But that was also about when the backgammon began, as I recall. See! It was their fault after all. They turned their back on thread and look what happened...

LOL!!
My dad told us that the first thing he checked after we were born was our feet. If they were freaky looking, he smiled.
I'm just ~so~ grateful for that tidbit of genetic inheritance. *rolls eyes*

I'm pretty much a carbon copy of my dad and my boys are the same...
So much so that when Jr. was seeing the oral surgeon about possible jaw realignment (we're waiting to see if he "grows into it") the doctor looked at me and said "Smile Dad."
So I did.
And he says "well, I see where you got it..."

Alright... winmag says in FRMail that he trusts me to start the thread. Maybe I should be more patient, but I'm not. I'd like to get it posted while folk are still around, and before it gets too late. Look for it in a moment, and if it doesn't take off under it's own momentum, lets not worry too much, just make reasonable pings and we'll bump it over the next day or two till monday.

Heh... I'm kind of the same about my dad. My next sister's just like mom, and the rest are some weird fusion.... weird what genetics can do...
