The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

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 wonder if I'll be making a garish and inappropriate appearance in Corin's story again. :~D

Verlabeana Frapplestein was not an attractive carbon-based unit. While she was not ugly enough to scare a frybolean wossledog from a meat transport cargo vehicle, when it came to last call at the Galactic Outpost 649J Grille and Lubrication Salon Verlabeana would be the unit asked to lock the door and extinguish the illumination panels.

Still, Verlabeana had a way of lighting up a life sustaining chamber. Truth be told it was likely her overexposure to the gamma rays from the Grille’s daily special of thrice radiated Mongoloosian pork chops.

Though the male carbon units at Galactic Outpost 649J loved Verlabeana, they loved her pork chops more.

They are overbooked and offering 250 to take a flight an hour later. Hah! Not hardly worth it.

But, you meet a man of mystery in my story...


At first, Verlabeana didn’t think anything unusual about the Fragnolean snarf trader that came in that evening. His type came in all the time. But she noticed him staring at her through the eyes in the back of his head. When she turned he looked away as if he didn’t want her to see that he’d been giving her the once over.

She knew these types were lonely and at the far reaches of the galaxy, snarf traders rarely encountered female carbon-based units. His attention made her smile, and then she forgot about it.

But when she took his order, she knew this one was different.

He didn’t order the pork chops.

Is that blood there? - that's a nice touch.

That red is a red stuff sack. Since replaced by an OD green one, when I realized red just didn't work with the overall color scheme.

I don't think I've heard of the Texas Rangers...except having seen the title of that show awhile back. What was it called? I can't remember.
