The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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'm sure 2J gave him a good run down. But it wouldn't have prepared him completely, I'm sure!

There's a lot to be said for the euphoria of waking up in g'nad's house with all your limbs still attached.

Just for the record. I paved the way for Shoot Moot.

IIRC Dwarf-Moot was the first overnight Moot.

Drove accross the Everglades this morning to see some friends in Naples. The thunderstorms in the middle of the Glades were horrendous - the road filled with water, even thought it's raised. Lots of wind, no visibility.

Good night, everyone.

Thank you for the ping!

What's this? Moose heads and deer antlers all over the Hobbit Hole?! Beef jerky and peanuts?

OOOOOoooooooooo...it's the shoot moot.

No wonder Pippin's looking a little nervous.....
