Enjoy the show,

FLN, CEh! ~ “Servus” is (or was) a common salutation among young folk in and around Vienna in the summer I lived there in the early ‘80s. I wasn’t surprised to see Misty using it in her 1/7 posting.
ReplyDeleteAnd here’s my day-off reminder for 1/8 …
We’ll be truly under way with ‘23
when we finally undertake to strip our tree.
Time for work, I say,
except it ‘s my holiday!
So shout “WooHoo,” & sing out, Fiddle-de-Dee!

We’re not going to the theatre today

Well, I see that Owen went to the theatre and hid the W in the “oft replay”.
ReplyDeleteThanks OMK for the background on Servus. Interesting.
Enjoy your day- I still have a tree up. We can use Ukrainian Christmas as our excuse.
Back this afternoon I hope.
"Recovery"
ReplyDeleteThe tornado her home had shaken
and left Tina feeling forsaken.
The danger this did expose
did not loosen her sleepless nights,
and friends assigned her to try to doze
with herbal tea to soothe her frights.
Keep Less Slights
ReplyDeleteOdd how putting yourself in another’s shoes
Can operate to shake and loosen your prejudices
And expose your hidden bias.
Whoever thought that his pig ought to fly
Missed a sign
In her ballpark “let go of grudges”.
Misty- glad that Tina is safe, and that she has kind friends to give her herbal tea to help her sleep. We had quite a combination of J words to use today (plus I snuck the W in there too - well hidden). I enjoyed how you did it.
ReplyDeleteI gave you a Sunday Stumper today. If you can figure out the deep meaning, you are better than me. I went with the direction the words carried me (especially in the second half). But sometimes poetry has a deep hidden meaning, that may be different for each reader.
I’d love to hear your interpretations.
Beautiful poem, Owen--a theatrical gift! Thank you for that!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of your delightful Sunday verse, Ol' Man Keith was--you guessed it--
your "Woohoo!" Thank you for that too!
And then we came to your complicated, clever Sunday poem, CanadianEh!, beginning with that brilliant riff on the Jumble solution with those "Keep Less Slights." But I was just daunted by why anyone would think pigs ought to fly until I went to the spigot and washed my face and got it. And I'm having a hard time letting go of grudges since I still haven't quite figured out the ending. Still, a total Sunday delight--many thanks, CE!.
CEh! If you think the Wordle is anagrammed in "oft replay", that's a coincidence I hadn't noticed. It's not the one I intended. Anyone else?

C-eh, I see you go atonal vs straight rhyming. Ergo, a poem with a deep message. And nothing wrong with the metaphorical pig flying.
ReplyDeleteMisty has exercised economy with 5 J's and the riddle-solution. Now if the tea came from a SPIGOT…
I drink chamomile vanilla with Genesee added for body at night
Owen, I thought like C-eh re. The W embedded. Then: Tada as V8 can drops. It's right there C-eh - hint: Think of DAB's theme
Masterfully done Owen, I wish anagram expert, OMK, would drop in and try to spot it

Wamba addressed the Abbott, "In a mile the road will veer,
You will need to turn left, no make that
a right you'll steer
My brains's a little leaky, as you can see I'm but a fool
I can juggle and entertain but I've never been to school"
"Enough with your fresh insolence, which way should it be?"
Said the surly knight. "Can it, is it right? Non ou oui?"
Said the Abbott, "He's been dallying in medicinal herbs
He garbles all his sentences, doesn't know nouns from verbs"
The keen sight of the Templar spotted a Palmer up the road.
"Wouldst thou guidest sir to Cedric the Saxon's abode?"
"It's good I'm here to help, my lord, for the castles hard to reach. See?
There are bogs and swales. Without me the outlook won't be peachy"

"Thank heaven", said Chet, "I've had restless nights dreading this necessary atone.
In fact it exposes my incomplete 9th Step which Neal* does not condone" .
"And that opens up" Lois enjoins, "a giant spigot of grief One for which I no longer can delay nor have herbal relief."
