Must be Monday. Easiest J4 and solution in many a day.
ReplyDeleteHeheh. How to exult--whether to hoot or shout?!

Yes, this Monday Jumble was a delight, wasn't it? I got all four items without any problem, and the fun solution bubbled right up. So, didn't need Owen's poem for help, though I can't wait to see it--it will be neat and fun, as always.
ReplyDeleteSince we had some Mudville today and Owen's out, I thought I give you something to chew on from March of '68
ReplyDeleteThe Outlook wasn't brilliant for B's basketball that day
They'd lost to the Houston Cougars last time that they had played
A full house on hand , national TV, Billy Packers crew
Could coach John Wooden pull the Bruins through?
All depended on Alcindor, Kareem Abdul Jabbar
Was the tendon healed of UCLA's famous star.
They needn't have worried, they crushed the hapless foe
The second of seven championship banners in a row

Thanks, Wilbur, for a neat contribution.
ReplyDeleteI hope Owen is enjoying a good day's rest. Meanwhile, you are upholding the blog's good reputation for fine versification!

Thanks OMK. It certainly makes folk appreciate Owen.
ReplyDeleteWooden "ruined" College Basketball by recruiting and expertly utilizing talent. Jabbar(Alcindor) followed by Walton.
I hated them thusly. But... I got tired of losing money on them so bet ON them in 1971. I gave six points.
Ucla "won" by 4 when time expired. But..
The refs called a foul at the buzzer and were determined that Henry Bibby shoot those FTs. But...
Where was Bibby? In the locker room, showering. He was escorted (back in uniform) back on to the court, crowd was cleared and given the basketball to shoot two MEANINGLESS free throws.
Meaningless except to all the gamblers especially me. And Henry did it. Sank'em both making the final score 68-62.
Bibby was an obnoxious b#$&Ard but I could never hate him after that.
Note, the final score only gave me a push not a win but it was money that stayed in my pocket.

Another day with the black dog. Pretty much slept round the clock. Most I came up with was random:
ReplyDeleteReporters are interested in whys and hows.
When the rolling pin jilted the dough, he was crust!
His leg joint had a tendency to go out.
A defective prosthetic is a wouldn't leg.
When Gumby's ex came by, he shooed her out.
Neat poem, Wilbur--thanks so much for posting it. I don't know much about baseball, but still enjoyed it a lot. Hope Owen is okay and will return tomorrow. Meanwhile thanks for your help during the interim.
