Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(He swore he’d never drive beyond 25 miles a day. But he would sometimes get fake receipts from his fave pumper.
Typically, his tale followed the usual pattern of clan tales in response to challenges of veracity. Thus, it was a… )
“Folk Answer”
Slowly, on the verge
of a broken promise, he
faked proof of mileage.

ReplyDeleteWhat a grand surprise, CanadianEh!
Thanks for finding time for us, and especially to share a delightful poem!
I agree with Misty in praising the unexpected (yet perfectly fitting) rhyme of the Bugatti with karate. A splendid way to kick that sporty car into shape!
I dunno about the battle of the titles. I kinda liked YOURS.

Passing on the post from the CC for any lurkers who might not have seen it there.

I am very sorry to be the bearer of very sad news. It seems our dear friend "Wilbur Charles" passed away on August 11. His name was Bill Breen.
He was one of my dearest friends on Crossword Corner and we had exchanged many emails over the years.
I got the information from his Facebook page and confirmed it by finding two obituary notices for his passing:
https://www.crevassesimplecremation.com/obituary/william-breen
and
https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/william-breen-obituary?id=52707320
I left guestbook messages on both cites. RIP, Wilbur.
ReplyDeleteAn energetic lifestyle is today's word
ReplyDeleteDoing with elan, living on the verge.
Always being vibrant,
Ever an aspirant,
The way to live a life -- so I've heard!

ReplyDeleteHail Mary, full of grace,
Help me with this snag I face!
Without your care,
I've not a prayer!
Into your hands my fate I place!
My goodness, what terribly sad and shocking news--that we have lost Wilbur after all this time. I do remember we heard that he was ill, but this is still so terribly sad. My heart goes out to friends and family.
ReplyDelete"Peace Speech"
ReplyDeleteRobert shouted from the roof
that there was not one bit of proof
that any laws had been broken
when at the town meeting he had spoken.
He was aware that citizens diverge,
so it would be helpful their views to merge.
Such a move would give voice to the lowly,
and produce agreements slowly.
What Rob wanted was for conflicts to cease
and for the town citizens to live in peace.
The old wooden wheel kept breaking, and we must come to a decision.
ReplyDeleteFork and Spoke
We were on the verge of a discovery,
But needed proof of our theory.
By moving extremely slowly,
And taking the road less travelled,
We got our problem unravelled.
Many thanks for the helpful Wordle clue, Ol' Man Keith, it took only a little nerve to get it:

Owen- easy Orijins today. I filled in 16 seconds (I would have gotten it quickly, even without your poem).
ReplyDeleteBut Wordle was harder today, with double of a vowel plus double of an infrequently used letter.
But Misty has enough rhyming clues to get it.
Interesting that it is only one letter different than a J word.
OMK- I enjoyed your haiku (and the back story). We went different directions with the title.
Thanks all for your responses to my poem from yesterday. Glad it was enjoyed.
Misty- I have been thinking about “verge” and your use of “diverge” (appropriate to my “fork” and Frost allusion. And I did not read your poem first. Interesting pathways our brains take.
Anyway, I enjoyed your Robert (Rib ) poem. Let’s hope that he is able to live in a peaceful town.
I am so sorry to hear of the death of WC. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteI will miss his contributions, and any continuation of the Chet and Lois story.
Wilbur Charles, sweet soul,
ReplyDeleteunrivaled in his stanzas.
In our hearts, a hole.

Thank you, everyone.
