nor yet a dry,
bare, sandy hole
with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat:
it was a
hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”

The Hobbit

And you find little nooks and crannies
in which to live a larger life
You realize that 7 sets of dishes
may be 6 too many
And that all cosmetics ever made
need not be in your beauty repertoire
You finally decide that your high school physical science notes
will probably never "come in handy"
