The Hobbit Hole XXV - Fare you well! Fare you well!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 10/15/2005 7:13:08 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Fare you well! Fare you well!

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!

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they meant "either or", not that you were supposed to check blonde or brunette.

I put one like that in a test script promote a couple months ago. When asked to clarify it I made it more descriptive but left the structure the same. Somehow they did not find it as funny as I did.

hmmm good point. Next time I put one of those in there I will tell them it serves as a check to see that the tester is really a human and not a robot infiltrator minion of the ninja llamas from the future. I am sure then they would see the utility of it.

'Course if it ever runs up against one of those "destroy imperfections" robots, you might just get blowed up.

Actually, I kinda sorta stuck her in my story, too...

You guys know, the only way to prolly get me to read these NanoWhammy stories is to make them about me... at least in part :~D

I might be foaming a little... it wouldn't be unusual for there to be some foam, but it might just be reflection, too.
