A trip to Middle Earth. Watch me Flounder.

All brooks are like a road, they say

Or maybe something versavice
I only know I run a bit like them

First fast, then slow, then gargling, then sidewise.

a film to match At The

in 1953, Max Ophüls made a film called "Madame de...". in order to explicate this to anglophone viewers, the title was amended to "The Earrings of Madame de..." in english. the film, under either title, would probably go splednidly along with a meal at "Zu den", the traditional TEUNC haunt in Grz.

A trip to Middle Earth. Watch me Wander.

To reach a fence and not to jump
Most Hobbits seem to do that stunt.
But wanderlust can lift both feet and heavy rump
and set you off across that garden stump.

A Trip to Middle Earth. Watch me Wonder.

The road goes on. Why should it not?
Though feets may sore and roots may rot
You may find that some lives are lived just to the dot.
But others, most definitely, are not.

A Trip to Middle Earth. Watch me Windle.

I windled lonely as a brook
To see where fancy me forsook
I thought I might meet an Elf or read a book
But all my peace was spoilt by a Took!

mickledom is no virtue.

the scottish word "mickledom" (meaning size, magnitude, or greatness), has occasionally been spelled "michel-dome" in english. an inspiration for michel delving?

the leaning house of Himley

Pisa may have its leaning tower, but Britain has a crooked pub! Glynne Arms in Himley, also known as Crooked House, has the possible advantage of seeming distinctly un-straight even before you swig.

Cum in an av sum hum brewd erl
Stop as lung as yom erbul
At a public called the Siden House
Weer the beer runs up the terbul.
