Over the misty mountains cold
Past rivers deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To see fall's mellow leaves of gold.
Most cordially yours,
The Hobbits of the ___________ clan
*This adventure is sponsored by the ___________ Shakespeare Troupe, but cordially invites other family members to come along.
In the event of rain we will still have tea by remaining snug and dry by our own fire..
