The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 12/11/2005 8:37:40 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Home is behind, the world ahead

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!

Heh, the woman next to me didn't like hers and accused me of switching them until I showed her what it said.

Just got back from the vets...

Homer has to take a lot of pills, has a Staph infection....
Oh well... it's cheaper than Corin's tooth.

You know I can pretty honestly say that I haven't had balogna in over 20 years...

Nope, not baloney either.

One thing I'd never had before we moved to Oklahoma was smoked balonga. Mmmm! I love it!

Poor Homer!! Was the paw-licking from the infection, too? Hope the antibiotics make him feel better quickly. LSA

I think the paw licking is just nerves... like nail biting... but the antihystamines might help with that for the short term.

The dog is a basket case :~D

And you didn't write down the phone number to the mothership somewhere else?
