The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

Kyle to San Francisco kids: So.... what do you do for fun?

SF kid: We drink, and take drugs... Want some acid?

Kyle: No thanks, we don't do that stuff.

SF kid: You will, there's a reason SF kids do drugs
SF kid: It's the only thing that allows us to deal with our parents walking around loving the smell of their own farts all the time.

Kyle's Dad walks in.
Kyle's Dad: Everything OK in here boys?

Kyle: Everything's fine dad.

Kyle's dad: It's sooo much better here with intellectuals, isn't it kids? ~fart~ ~sniff~ ahhhhhh! ~walks off~

Kyle: Maybe I will take just half a hit of acid.

My Dad always used to say... it's a fine line between a smart feller and a fart smeller.

Got the first hole more or less dug. Didn't hit any big rocks at all until about a foot and seven inches down...and I can't find the edge of the monster I just hit. *sigh*
