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!
