FLN, Misty: Sorry abt. Mr. Hinckley. Fact is, I made him up—just to have a name for the sake of the rhythm.
ReplyDeleteThen afterwards, I checked to see if there was anyone famous with that name, and yes I found a coupla guys…

“Emblazoned: the Endurable and Un-”
We rarely think of exercising an “abandonment
of chores” while we’re still alert, able, & ambulant,
but once it’s an established part of one’s routine,
a holiday’s no longer thought weird or obscene.
Thus it is with Keith’s weekly day of rest—
when I feel blessed & rarely stressed.
The secret is to set it in advance,
so it requires no excuse, makes no demands.
It beckons me forward, draws me through the week,
helping me through days which may otherwise be bleak.
Days that, given depression’s unpredictability,
are sometimes rated negative in civility!
And the tables can be turned, you see,
when blah-days turn out to be whoop-de-dee!
There’s nothing lost; all good days are doubly
so,
for untroubled times, coupled, feel extra bubbly,
glow—
like champagne—foaming fizzier
rather than flat, making me dizzier!
Thus—thus!—good times and bad, both win
when beckoning your correspondent with a weekly grin!

FLN, CanadianEh! ~ Thanks for reexamining Owen’s & my usage of the “Error” word.
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky that your Mom & brother have been so careful in IDing family photos.
I recently came across a cache of old pictures that remain anonymous—definitely of cousins and maybe some closer links, but I have no idea who they are!

Today I give you a whale of a rags to riches story.
ReplyDeleteThoughtful Tribute
The feisty urchin again and again
Thrashed his way up from a rough terrain.
Over the years, he was to learn
How hard a business empire was to govern.
He became a tycoon, but never boasted;
In his memoirs, his mentor he toasted.
OMK- the thought of a future break or holiday, can be incentive to push through some of the hardest, dullest days. Enjoy your day of rest, as part of the rhythm of life.
ReplyDeleteSad about your unidentified photos. There are probably some interesting stories behind the faces in those photos, if you only knew.
A cartoon that I like is "Barney and Clyde",
ReplyDeleteAbout two friends who live life from opposite sides.
Barney is a tycoon, owns a pharmaceutical co.
Clyde is a philosopher, a park-bench hobo.
Other characters include a feisty urchin --
Barney's daughter, from prank to prank always lurchin'.
Various other servitors at Barney's home and work,
And Clyde's panhandler friends, with eccentric quirks.
Gathered at a burn barrel to keep warm and toasty,
Some want to thrash the government, mostly.
But most scout terrain for their get-rich schemes.
To do it without work is their dream!
Barney faces ethical questions every day.
Clyde's train of thought is the lazy man's way.
Wow! For someone who was going to abandon Sunday blog visits, you've not only turned Sunday into one of your best poetry days, but today you even devised your verse to reflect on your Sunday blogging decision and experience, Ol' Man Keith. What would you call that: a kind of meta-meta-poem, or something! Very, very exciting--and many, many thanks, OMK.
ReplyDeleteAnd then we also got not only a lovely poem from you, , but this one reflecting all the exceptionally prolific and complex 6 Jumble words and solution this morning in an amazingly brief 6 line verse. I'd offer you a poetry prize for this, CE! Congratulations.
And, finally, Owen, a fun "Barney and Clyde" verse from you. And, yes, once again, all 6 complicated Jumble words and solution got worked into your delightful poem. I especially like the fact that you brought in Barney's daughter, to give us a "feisty" "urchin."
Well, I should be joining all you fabulous poets this morning, but I had a tough night and morning. While brushing my teeth at bedtime, broke an upper tooth in front, which makes me look ridiculous when I speak. Today is Sunday, and I can't make a dentist appointment until tomorrow morning at 9 when they open, and probably won't get to see a dentist until the middle of the week. So no poem from me this morning. But as you can see, all of your verses just delighted me, and I'd say you've saved my day. I may even be able to take a much-needed nap now. Many thanks, everybody.
I don't know how CanadianEh! was erased from my second comment to you, C--my apology.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you check in with us, Wilbur. Wish I'd gotten a hint on doing a Wordle today--but, maybe tomorrow--that would be great
