The remodeled chapel looked like a success.
The bishop was coming Sunday to bless.
The choir was ready with a varied repertoire.
The walnut paneling gave a cozy, warm decor.
The organ had just a few last pipes to fit.
It would sound magnificent, milky soft to echoing bits.
But one small pipe gave way, fell like a karate chop.
As dominoes the pipes all leaned as if to drop!
The damage was slight, but the debut would be delayed.
Maybe instead an accordion could be played?
The pastor's little child said, "The circus is here.
I'll bet the calliope could play our hymns with cheer!"
The circus was contacted, they were glad of the call.
The calliope wagon was brought outside the organ wall.
Every hymn tune, the organ player knew it by ear,
He played out his heart so the whole town could hear!
Inside, pipes were straightened tho not fit in place,
On the bench sat the child, with a smile on his face!
FLN -- Wilbur, what was the limerick you referred to, "Wilburforce's "Charlesbank Dine" Limerick where "the sot" figured out the riddle."?
Charming poem with such an interesting little story, Owen--many thanks. I had to work a little to get the third and fourth words in this Jumble, and was happy that your poem confirmed them. The solution came quickly--especially thanks to the surgery image on the screen. Nice to see different masks and head gear on the women in the cartoon. Fun way to start the week--have a good one everybody.
Misty , I thought #3
was as difficult as HYMNAL yesterday.
Exciting poem ingeniously incorporating the J's and solution.
Ok, Owen per request we have an old Hotel Sonesta on the banks of the Charles River piece of doggerel.
I'll put it in a new post

PS. I may have recruited another Jumbler. I told him about Owen's inspired poetry
Old WHDH "Limerick" contest circa
1974
From ID they came
Of cartoon fame
The Wizard and the jester
Playing a riddle game
That had no name
The Wizard posed this tester
On charlesbank dine
With choice of fine wine
Pick of salads galore
The roast beef so tender
Good service they render
All this midst equisite decor
Got it said the SOT
With scarcely a thought
Rib Room, Hotel Sonesta
Ho-kay. So, we have a poem (which you obviously know is not really a "limerick", tho it is in an acceptable poetic form). It makes sense as an advertisement for the Rib Room Restaurant at the Hotel Sonestra. But if there's any joke or pun involved, I don't get it. Since you mention things here that are in reference to discussions on the CC, I'll assume you brought this up in connection to some other blog that I'm not a follower of.
What is WHDH?
And on the Jumble picture, if she's a cardiologist, why is she operating on the patient's thigh?
Owen, yes, not a Limerick which is why I never submitted it to Radio Station WHDH which ran the contest.
Yesterday, in relation to BUNG it was mentioned that the SOT from Wizard of ID was named BUNG
I think the post actually used that word, SOT.
