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!

In other newz...the car was officially totaled. Now we wait to see how much they’ll offer (and I whine for more).

Hopefully it’s enough to buy Jr a bicycle.

Ha!

OK, so maybe that’s not really funny, but...I laughed. Sorry...

Is anyone else getting a Proxy Error page when trying to post? This has happened to me on several threads this morning.

Well this time I didn’t get ‘Proxy Error’ when I clicked on ‘Post Reply’, so I guess it’s back to normal. I double posted before because I tried refreshing the page after I got the error.

Heh, great cartoon! Just got finished making arm openings on Josephs long black hooded robe. We had a black academic gown, and he’s wearing that under the robe, so he needed to be able to reach out through the sides in order to hand out candy. He’ll be the doorman tonight. ;o)

There are just so many things I could say to that but I think I’ll just say Hi back.

So, who plans to stay up past midnight to start writing? (OT are you doing Nano this year?)

In other newz, at least Jr’s cell phone just died (thru no fault of his own - this time). At least this is just the $50 deductible.

No but I’ll try getting up early tomorrow. Midnight is way too late for me these days.

I think I’d rather write before work tomorrow than stay up tonight. Midnight isn’t exactly my brainiest time.

I’ll probably do a marathon reading and writing-the-other-story session tonight, though.

Yeah, I thought about staying up, but I’ve got to meet the trainer in the morning at 6:45 (and, yes, I’ve tried to get out of that contract, why do you ask?).

I’m going to try to be up by 5-ish and write for an hour or so.
