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.
ReplyDeleteAnticipating the coming meal,
every parishoner with a sweet tooth …
“Prayed for Honey”
Close your hymnals! It’s
church potluck! Mommy’s forking
prongs exceed the best!

"Success"
ReplyDeleteMommy made some good money
telling jokes that were clever and funny.
The family had happily agreed
to help her in times of need,
but her success did all that exceed.
So they decided on a new prong,
and wrote her a lovely song
in a hymnal she now carries along.

ReplyDeleteI think this solution is clever and kind of chuckleworthy. Yay!
ReplyDeleteSo what did Mommy cook for everybody to serve at her potluck, Ol' Man Keith?
ReplyDeleteHope it was delicious!
You did it once again: worked the 7 word Jumble into your 14 word verse. I just counted mine, and I needed a 44 word verse to get them all in. But both systems work great, I think, and it's good for the blog to have different styles and forms for responding to the Jumble. For that reason alone, I hope Owen and Wilbur will check in with us today.
Sounds like your "Mommy" is a stand-up comic, Misty, while mine only exists for her potluck specials. Glad yours earns good money (it's a notoriously underpaid occupation), so the family doesn't need to chip in so often.
ReplyDeleteWith that new hymnal, maybe she specializes in church audiences--in a super clean act...?
I believe on the date in question, mine made her 25-person potatoes au gratin. Yummer! She specializes in potato dishes, including a roast potato special with crispy jalapeños sprinkled liberally.

ReplyDeleteEddie, we must finish with Step One before progressing.
There's two prongs to powerlessness:
Picking up the first drink is like the snapping of a bowstring
But lack of a program will lead you to a drink nevertheless.
I can't be your mommy and the Big Book is not an hymnal
I'm not making a lot of money and I can't be your pal
There's no shortcuts, you have to want to succeed
In other words don't do the minimum, strive to exceed

Fln, I looked up the "Rust shooting " and it says it was a revolver which precludes my theory
ReplyDeleteBut incredibly stupid carelessness can never be discounted.
Misty, yor poor office worker can't even cuss. Everyone is pulling rank on her.
OMK, not only four J's but an haiku that works story-wise

So, Wilbur, Chet is careful not to make the program sound easy, which is, of course, necessary. If people start out convinced that it's going to be very difficult, I'm sure they don't discourage quite as readily.
ReplyDeleteAnxious to know Chet and Lois' next decision.
AA really does spell out the difficulty, doesn’t it, Wilbur? Chet is preaching gospel.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if encouragement always follows—to balance the heavy dose of reality?

Thanks for checking in with us, Wilbur.
