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!

Ping to the above... I was driving. ;~)

[ecurbh]

Muchas gracias for taking care of the pooches for us! I was getting kind of anxious about them.

[SuziQ]

We've enjoyed Eureka immensely!

[RosieCotton]

Wasn't a problem!

But speaking of favors...some of the gals from church are getting together for a "Ladies Night Out" deal tomorrow night...just pizza and talking, I think, but I'd like to go. Any chance you guys could check on Cisco so I can go straight from work?

[HairOfTheDog]

Sure - sounds good :~)

Out on Friday with a bunch of chicks from church... sounds pretty raucous. Let me know if you need a sober ride home :~)

[RosieCotton]

Heh...

[RosieCotton]

Media Monkey's "shuffled" play isn't very shuffled a lot of the time. Either that or my computer is in a Dean Martin / Frank Sinatra mood tonight...

[ecurbh]

Not that there's anything wrong with Dean and Frank, of course. :)

[RosieCotton]

Not at all. ;-) I like 'em both, corny lyrics and all!

But we've moved on to the Beatles.

[RosieCotton]

Cisco's tired. Not *quite* completely out of it in this picture, but close.

[ecurbh]

My honey doesn't like them corny lyrics. Gets on my case whenever I play them.

[HairOfTheDog]

Help me, I'm drowning in syrup :~)

[HairOfTheDog]

That's a pretty pathetic pooch. :~)

[RosieCotton]

Speaking of corny lyrics...now the computer's picked "I Am the Walrus". :-\

Some serious drugs went into the writing of this, I'm thinkin'.

[HairOfTheDog]

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come...

[RosieCotton]

And then it gets weirder...

[ecurbh]

Goo goo ga joob!

[ecurbh]

Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye

[RosieCotton]

I really hate that part. Uck.

I Am the Walrus" is a 1967 Beatles song, written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon-McCartney. Lennon later claimed he wrote the first two lines on separate acid trips.

Lennon composed the song by combining three separate songs he had been working on. Additionally, when he learned that a college professor was having his students analyze Beatles' lyrics, he added on a verse of specifically nonsensical words designed to confuse listeners.
