The opening poem contains all the words (or variations of them) from today's Jumble.
Comments are welcomed! And couching them in Poetry is definitely NOT required.
Do not explicitly reveal any of the actual answer words until after closing time, but embedding them surreptitiously in comment sentences is encouraged.
Whether matching a painting's brushwork or re-doing its mounting, art forgery demands attention to every phase.
ReplyDeleteHere's a brief scene from when I was at the easel, yet doubting that...
"Crime Pays?"
With a shrug, I applied the primer to the portrait's upper frame.
"When we fake an old master, Jack, the odds 'gainst infamy are lame."

That cartoon has some very confusing grammar; sounds as though her parents did the learning!
ReplyDeleteHad trouble with the solution. Got completely sidetracked with "aspire".
Happy October 6, y'all.
Chad did so well in primary school
ReplyDeleteHe got advanced, that was the rule!
In kindergarten he got high praise,
So to first grade, Chad got a raise!
To upper grades Chad passed the tests,
From primer to calculus he progressed.
When lauded, he'd just shrug, "That's me."
Among lessor students he gained infamy!
"Reward"
ReplyDeleteHelen had hoped for a hug,
but instead she just got a shrug.
She was busy making supper
and needed a picker-upper,
a cheer for her new-published primer
that her school should have found sublimer.
Being ignored sure felt like an infamy
and Harry, her friend, did agree.
So he decided to go down on one knee
and say, "Helen, will you marry me?"
This brought her life to a whole new phase
for which she gave her new husband high praise.
A week later, Helen is no longer ignored:
her primer just won an award.
Excellent work by my colleagues!
ReplyDeleteOwen's piece is a gem of "compactness"!
And Misty wins the award for surprising us! I'm not sure which is the greater shock--Harry's proposal or Helen's book's award!
Fun to see we used "primer" in two different ways.
All we need now is for Wilbur to chime in with an extra meaning.

How do you do that, Ol' Man Keith? Three lines and they contain all four Jumble words plus the solution. Always amazes me.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Owen, Chad did very well in school--good for him? And his poet too knows how to versify Jumbles very skillfully.
Wonderful ways to start our morning--thank you both! Yes, we now need Wilbur to add his neat verse to our morning gifts.
BTW, Sandy is right.
ReplyDeleteThe Jumble caption writer needs to take a refresher course in English grammar.
Or is it syntax?
Needs to study both.
