Silly J.R.R Tolkien!

Nozomi says...

The following will be a poem from a book I got for Christmas from my sisters (Ai and Akari) and older brother (Yuya) called "Tales from the perilous realm" and this particular poem is my favorite. A big hand for J.R.R Tolkien for writing such hilarious things!!

The Stone Troll

Troll sat alone on his seat of stone,
And munched and mumbled a bare old bone;
For many a year he munched it near,
For meat was hard to come by,
Done by! Gum by!
In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone,
And meat was hard to come by.

Up came tom with his big boots on,
Said he to the Troll; Pray what is yon?
For it looks like the shin o' my nuncle Tim,
As should be lyn' in grave yard.
Caveyard! Paveyard!
This many a year has Tim been gone,
And I thought he were lyn' in graveyard!

'My lad,' said Troll, 'this bone I stole.
But what be bones that lin in a hole?
Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead ,
Afore I found his shinbone,
Tinbone! Thinbone!
He can spare a share for a poor old troll;
For he don't need his shinbone.'

Said Tom: 'I don't see why the likes o' three
Without axin' leave should go makin' free
With the shank or the shin o' my father's kin:
So hand the old bone over!
Rover! Trover!
Though dead he be, it belongs to he;
So hand the old bone over!

'For a couple o' pins, ' says Troll, and grins,
'I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins.
A bit o' fresh meat will go down sweet!
I'll try my teeth on thee now.
Hee now! See now!
I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins;
I've a mind to dine on thee now.'

But just as he thought his dinner was caught,
He found his hands had hold of naught.
Before he could mind, Tom slipped behind,
And gave him the boot to larn him,
Warn him! Darn him!
A bump o' the boot on the seat, Tom thought,
Would be the way to larn him.

But harder than stone is the flesh and bone
Of a troll that sits in the hills alone.
As well set your boot to the mountain's root,
For the seat of a troll don't feel it.
Peel it! Heal it!
Old Troll laughed, when he heard Tom groan,
And he knew his toes could feel it.

Tom's leg is game, since home he came,.
And his bootless foot is lasting lame;
But Troll don't care, and he's still there
With the bone he boned from its owner.
Doner! Boner!
Troll's old seat is still the same,
And the bone he boned from its owner!

Puppies!!

Nozomi says...

Just recently, Dad, Chibs, Akari, Jun-kun and I went to see puppies that were born to one of Dad's friend's dog. (The puppies we went to see will be trained to be guide dogs for the blind.)
Those puppies were just soooo.....CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!
There were 8 puppies, 4 of them were black, and the other 4 white. We got permission to hold one puppy each, after we disinfected our hands. I think that was the first time I held a dog just by myself. As you can see in the pictures, I was quite happy and pleased to get to hold a puppy on the day of my birthday. I always wanted a dog, but with the financial state of the home, and knowing how expensive a dog is, the fact that I got to hold a puppy dog was quite special. :)

post pt.2 by Nozomi

Nozi says...
Turtles. When i hear that word, i think of our former pet turtles, Pudge and Lucy.
I say 'former' 'cause we decided they needed to go back to nature and that's why we ploped them in to a pond in a near by park, where they naturally live in.
The pic of the turtle you see below is a turtle Yoko, my older sister, found on the middle of the road
in the middle of some dog poop, and picked it up from the kindess osf her heart.
Anyway, now that she moved away, my friend Chibs owns it. Yoko nick named it V and Chibs now calls it Vlad (although it's a girl.) And my oh my how she grew!! And I hope and pray that Chibs would plop him back in the pond where she belongs, because V will soon grow bigger, and then she won't be her cute little self anymore.
I think I would like to stop my blog post here. Good bye!!

Nozomi's first post!-Talk Time

Talk Time.
Doesn't the term, "talk time" make you stiff and maybe a tiny bit scared?
Anyway, let me introduce myself. My name is Nozomi, younger sister of Eiko and Akari Matsuoka. I just had "talk time" with Eiko, and just to let you know, talk time is fun and usually yummy.
Eiko and I decided to have some real fun together, and we dressed up a little, (it's quite fun) and off we went to Maruetsu. I decided get some ice-cream, and my older sis, (being a big fan of anything nutty) decided to get a small pack of mixed nuts. What I thought funny was that she would chose nuts over ice-cream!
After buying our snack, we went to a nearby park and ate our snack while we talked about Yuriko and how we though she was so funny, about the changes in the home, and so on. And then when I was just about to finish my ice-cream, older sis said, "Does a piece of bread still sound appealing to you now after the ice cream or are you already full? My reply "Maybe..." Which usually means a "yes". So off we went again to Maruetsu to buy a slice of garlic bread. And as you can see in the pictures, I am trying to stuff down the garlic bread in five seconds, which is quite impossib.e.
Well, the bottom line is that when Eiko asks if you want to have talk time with her, to not refuse 'cause you're going to miss out on some real fun!
