The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

I made the mirror image of the same wrong turn I took this morning, and turned around in the same spot...

At least I’m consistently lost. Or something.

Also I realized after I got home that I had a big ol’ smear of black grease on my upper lip like a Hitler mustache. I’d stopped on the bike because I thought my rear wheel was making noise, and ended up with black stuff on my hands, and I must have touched my face. The guy at the car shop didn’t say anything, but.... Ungh...I hate it when you discover you’ve done something embarrassing *after* the fact. *blush*

Yes...and also read the book, which was really good. But I don’t remember all the details. Why?

Hmm. There is certain logic in that statement that I can fully appreciate. I’d hardly call bicycle commuting selfish, it’s a great way to do it. LSA and I rode our bikes a lot when we were in grad school. Thoroughly enjoyed it, ‘cept the rain part. :-)
