The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Home is behind, the world ahead
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! |

Haven't you noticed?
Here in the Hobbit Hole, we specialize in taking a small amount of information and snowballing it into something MUCH bigger (ie, 26 threads from one dude in NZ).

I'm running out of time. I'm old. You know... I'm just not sure that's suppose to be your line... thought it was mothers or things that said that...

I wonder if it makes sense to serve popcorn at hypothetical weddings. Will you marry me?
To: JenB; g'nad
This is where g'nad chimes in with how motherly Corin is.
To: TalonDJ
They could throw that instead of rice...

I had noticed. But all the times we baited for popcorn and did not get any...
To: HairOfTheDog
Eek!
Don't they have the little wands to do that in vet's office?

You think that's somehow better?
Heh... I thought I'd bring one from the litter box... no telling who's it is, but I figger it doesn't really matter.
It's little. It ain't Cartman's.

For cats I have heard it does not really matter. Sharing a box is to share most bugs.
To: Corin Stormhands
By the way, not that I'm making any plans, but 6/6/06 doesn't work for me at all.

Er, no. Been to busy posting hear instead of working or writing dissertations. I think we had beat that horse to death for the moment anyway.
To: TalonDJ
Thought that might be the case on both points but with wonky email I wasn't entirely sure.
