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.
So good luck with that, fella!

ReplyDeleteFLN, two praise-worthy poems. OMK keeping an excellent theme brief and Misty one of her best about a misfortunate misspeller
Some tough words to fit in 19th century Russian storytelling
The irony about The Idiot and earlier, Anna Karenina, was how applicable they were to the Chet and Lois story- theme wise.
Misty, if you ever want to devote a week to a story that you might really love get ahold of AK. Not for Anna, herself, but for Levin who is really Tolstoy's central character
Maybe I should have done AK instead of Prince Lvov

I was feeling crabby in my noodle, trying to work the remote.
The eject switch wouldn’t match my old disc of “Love Boat.”
Or, as haiku:
Noodle is crabby.
Remote will not match, you see.
Won’t eject “Love Boat.”

I was going to say, Anna is done far more often than the Prince, Wilbur,

Follow your heart! You have a strong literary sensibility. Lead the way.

"Unlikely Partners"
ReplyDeleteTheir romance began at a dance
with only a remote chance
that it might actually advance.
Their interests didn't match
which made each a pretty poor catch.
His temper was a bit crabby
and her appearance was a mite shabby.
All the signs were to expect
that they would each other reject.
But they each owned a sweet poodle
with similar names: 'Noodle' and 'Doodle.'
So they took a ride on a boat,
and after a happy float
for romance they did vote.
Au contraire, Misty, your pair
ReplyDeleteare perfectly matched*. You’re aware
that like faults dare them to share
two lives as one. They have my prayer.

Thank you for the kind words, Ol' Man Keith, I much appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteClauder had to work on Sunday night, so we watched "The Love Boat" last night. One of my favorite weekly programs, and a huge treat to see it in your verses this morning. I was so relieved that it wasn't canceled along with "Columbo." At least I still have one of my favorite programs to watch every week. So glad we have access to Channel 25, METV, where I can also see "Green Acres" and "Gilligan's Isle."
Wilbur, thank you for the kind 'Anna Karenina" suggestion, but I'm afraid I don't have time for a major production like that at this busy holiday time. Maybe sometime next year when things slow down after teaching my class. Meanwhile I look forward to seeing how Chet and Lois are getting on, and to any other delightful poetry of yours.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, Misty, I had no idea "Love Boat" re-runs were still offered. But I guess EVERYTHING is available nowadays, at our fingertips (or eyeball lenses?)!
ReplyDeleteGlad you could enjoy it!
But I don't recall ever seeing an episode all the way through. As you may guess from our different inclinations,I chose the title for my verse as the kind of formulaic show I would scrupulously avoid.
LOL, I would be haunted if it would not respond to my eject button.

Rogozjin though surly, crabby perhaps, was taken by the air of the Prince
ReplyDeleteLeon was hardly empty in the noodle, as clearly evinced
By his ejecting a gasp when showed the picture of his dreams
It was Nastase Filipovna, the beautiful woman, the object of his schemes
"She's a match for a King, Do you have the remotest chance?"
What was unsaid by the Prince was what he saw in her face at first glance

I'm still back on the railway car. There's a few things I'll have to try to fit in. Rogozhin had an incident involving Nastasya. Plus both are coming into money.
ReplyDeleteLebedev smells the money and wants to stay close.
Should I go back to Chet and Lois as Misty suggests? Btw, you understand Alister now, eh?
ie. A Lister
WC
No, Wilbur, keep going with whatever you're working on and I'll do my best to follow the Prince and the other folks in your poem. And I loved the way you worked in all the Jumble words and the solution.
