Sir Reele embarked again on an knight errant's errand,
ReplyDeleteTo slay (or tame) a fire dragon, nostrils flarin',
Who'd often set on fire both haystacks and hayricks;
Ate three cows since St Swithin's, and other nasty tricks.
Local maidens, with pompoms, cheered him on his way!
He was on his honor this dragon to tame, or to slay.
He would shoot for a bloodless conclusion to his quest,
But he swore by the Moon his sword was equal to this test!
He found the dragon ailing by another flaming field.
Moaning and groaning, the dragon said he'd yield.
Begged the knight for a cure for heartburn and indigestion.
The white calcium cliffs of Dover was Sir Reele's suggestion!
Now the dragon holds a steady beat as lamplighter,
And on cold, stormy nights, he's a hearth-fire igniter!

For the solution I thought of a word for ostentatious jewelry but stuck with the solution
Fln Misty, you missed the 'Econ' majors studying Joyce, eh? Teaching non-lit majors must have been interesting.
I wonder if OMK got a kick out of it

"Lois, dear, I'll put on the kettle for tea , it isn't often that we get to talk
I remember your school days with the pompoms, you were quite a gal
Then later you had a stormy time, it all came as a quite a shock
Until suddenly back in my life, and even better, completely rational"
"I've locked up the past into the vault , I'm through making a stir
Today I enjoy seeing Chet snort when I say
'We must meet with the pastor'
He quickly calmed down and said 'It'll be a great honor'"
Chet then remarked, with one of his typical puns,
"I wouldn't put it past her"
I was moonstruck when I first laid eyes on this brown eyed pixie
Shoot , she solved my problems and I'm not just whistling Dixie".

Here’s one of the features of life in a team’s shout squad:
”Root in Platoon!”
To honor her pom-
pom, this wan, wee girl often
yells huge & stormy!
~ OMK
Owen ~ I feel a kinship with your dragon. Yesterday, my gut held a constant fire. Even the blandest food seemed to stoke it.
ReplyDeleteHeartburn grows more & more miserable with each aging year. I chewed chalk all day. Do you suppose the Cliffs of Dover hold the mother lode of Gaviscon? At least the inspiration…

Wilbur ~ I did, I did! Get a kick outta your visit to Misty’s survey of JJ!
I felt I was almost there. Well done, good sir!
And I enjoyed the latest C&L verses. I had no idea Lois had a rootin’-tootin’ pompom past! That opens up a new dimension of her!

"June Moon Tune"
ReplyDeleteWe brought pom-poms to honor the crew
before on to the moon they flew.
The weather was often stormy
before they took off on their journey.
But we gathered around to root
as off to the sky they did shoot.
Woohoo! Woohoo! For the second day in the row I got the Wordle on my first try, thanks to Ol' Man Keith's wonderfully helpful hint. Thank you so much, again, for this great help.

Owen, I love the way you rhyme you fun verses: indigestion/suggestion was my favorite this morning.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Chet and Lois, dear, still have a bit of a rocky relationship, Wilbur, and with Chet snorting, I bet that visit to the pastor won't be a great success right away. But I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Is that wan, wee girl really in a platoon, Ol' Man Keith? I bet they'll make her honor more than a pom-pom.
Nice Wordle, CanadianEh!, and I look forward to your always delightful verse too.
One of our high school’s girls’ cheer squads was called a platoon. They were probably not the only ones, as many cheerleaders emulated military organizations.
ReplyDelete~ OMK
Misty, Chet no sooner told Lois "Shoot for the moon" and she brings up seeing the pastor. Chet Recovered nicely.
ReplyDeleteWe were already marrried in civil court when we talked to the pastor in NH
He wanted to set the "wedding" for a year out with "classes"
We found a priest on the Cape
Why do we so often cling to the past?
ReplyDeleteWhether our days be full of honour or stormy blasts
Raise those cheerleader’s pompoms,
And shoot for the moon!
Another great day of contributions.
ReplyDeleteOwen- that poor dragon! I loved it.
WC- Chet and Lois have a great saga going. And Misty’s JJ class poem FLN was a fitting honour to her.
OMK- yes, my Wordle does have an interesting symmetry. I loved your “wan, wee girl” haiku.
Sorry, I can’t bring myself to use the Jumble spelling for honour. LOL.
