The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST 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!

Well, yes, but that’s a much prettier picture in December.
I’m just sayin’...

Mmm, it looks poetic. People don’t write good poetry any more though.

It’s because they don’t wear enough hats.

No they don’t, it goes with the lack of good music.

We got robbed on the snow... all we got was a little drizzle.
Good morning!
To: Corin Stormhands; TalonDJ
Well, I found a man who wears hats most days... and looks really good in them... but I don’t think hats and poetry have much to do with each other.

Yeah, I admit I think that poetry should rhyme *and* scan and obviously that’s old fashioned of me, and it should probably actually mean something.
Music should do the same.

We may still get snow this afternoon, though...
I doubt any will stick.
Today’s the one week anniversary of my getting thenewlittlecar. They grow up suh fast... *snif*
To: JenB; TalonDJ
All I'm sayin' is that the dearth of both may not be mere coincidence...

I think there’s plenty of good music these days. Maybe not much in the way of good poetry outside of music, but plenty of good music.
I guess I’m an optimist.
To: Corin Stormhands; JenB
I betcha if you asked around, you could get a grant to study the correlation...
To: JenB
How many poems do we need in life? There’s already one for any occasion ;~)
To: HairOfTheDog
Theres already one for any occasion
I am staring at this glowing screen.
What does it mean?
The nectar of reason is gone.
My lucidity fades.

Oh frettled gruntbuggly thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes.
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
See if I don’t!
