FLN, Thanks, Misty, for your generous note on my weekly “cop-out.”
It’s the one poem I can spend time on, aiming at least to offer up something to compensate for skipping out on my teammates.
Your Pete knows how to enjoy life. Do you suppose he’s thinking of replacing Mark Swed, the LA Times music critic, with his understanding of concerts as “fabulous musical noise”?
Owen’s retelling of Moses’ Sinai experience offers a very human, if non-Biblical reaction, to Aaron and the Golden Calf!
You two, plus Wilbur, all did better than par on the Sunday Wordle. Good job all around!

Today’s Jumble haiku:
(Mac used to practice tunes all weekend. But these days, as he treasures each hour of his spare time—and it’s dwindled to just one day—he’s thinking of charging a buck for each number.
But who’s gonna pay when the bill-bell is ringing?)
“Flute Bill Knell”
Mac’s weekly rest has
swung to Sundays. Flute solos
are likely extra.

Disneyland, with Cinderella's Castle,
Is a wonderous place without a hassle.
But vermin abound,
There are mice around,
One especially with fumigators will wrassle!

The Faun and the fauna would dance around,
His pan-flute playing a frisky sound!
Nymphs joining in with a vocal chorus
While fawns swung around in the dancing forest!
Mythical creatures, did they know full well
That Science and Reason would sound their knell?
What did it matter, they'd live for the day,
Let the joyous pipes play a roundelay!
Is our weekday world any brighter than theirs,
As we slog along with our quotidian cares?
Would we be more likely to enjoy our days,
If we could live out their care less ways?
I long for their land of fabled bliss,
A much more exuberant world than this!
Every week, the mice of Hamelin marched unknowingly to be drowned in the town well.
New Well Full
The weekly parade swung down Main Street
Such an unlikely crowd you were ever to meet
The Pied Piper led playing his flute
Followed by the mouse, tootle-toot.
"Bright Band"
At its weekly meeting
the band members swung
their instruments in greeting,
and warm cheers they sung.
Their horns they did toot
and played their flute.
They were likely to tell
great stories they knew well.
And in the end, to their surprise,
they won a music prize.
Woohoo! Woohoo! Thank you for your wonderful hints, everybody! They worked for me:

Glad I'm wearing a blouse today!

Good job, Misty!

Doug Flutie was an Eagle who threw an unlikely pass
For time was running out and this would be the last gasp
Weakly the throw was not, 65 yards in the air it flew
We knew full well it was hopeless but sacred bleu!
It nestled in the arms of Phelan , and the score swung the other way
Forevermore it would be called: The Flutie " Hail Mary " play

OMK- what a back-story. But I liked your haiku. Mac sounds like he needs that Sunday rest just as you do.
Great Wordle work all. Congrats Misty on your home in one.
Owen gives us such imagery in his J poem.. Of course we all were on a musical theme with that flute. Misty’s band even won a prize. Mine was more sinister like many of the fairy tales. Then WC mentions Doug Flutie whose brother Darren played for the Hamilton TigerCars.
I can just see your band members,Misty, swinging those trombones in military formation!
A very cool image…
And your “Hail Mary” pass, Wilbur! I wondered if you’d pick up on the Flutie name—and you came through, my man!
Rah!

Thanks for putting up with that awful back story, CEh!
I started with a better rhythm and a clearer story inside the haiku, but I had too many syllables….
As I shortened the poem, I had to transfer more of the tale to the prose prologue. In the end, it had to rely more on your imagination than any art on my part.
Your poem reminds us of the classic Pied Piper story. I like that you added what appears to be a performing rodent, so they’re not just passive saps this time, tootle-toot!

Yep, there it was again, Ol' Man Keith, all Jumble words and solution worked into you brief haiku and title. I knew full well that you'd come up with something like "Flute Bill Knew." Wonderful!
Owen, your amazing verse left me pretty exuberant! What unusual rhymes you manage to produce, using words like "roundelay" and "quotidian cares." Poets don't get more remarkable than this! Bravo!
My goodness, Wilbur, not only did you give us a great poem, but it came with a whole interesting story. Also, with some neat rhymes, like "flew" echoed by "sacred bleu." Terrific!
And then one more delightful poem, with all the Jumble words worked in, from you, CanadianEh!! What a treat, especially with those mysterious "mice" and that "mouse"!
Thank you for that too!
Have a great week coming up, everybody.
