Oh dear, hope you're okay, Ol' Man Keith. Thank you for getting us set up for today, and hope you can check in and get us started. I'll follow up with a verse then.
James Arness made a killin'
As good-guy Marshal Dillon
Each week in story
He got glory
For defeating another villian!

The Vicar complained as loudly as most
About the traffic in the summer roast!
Whizzing past him
With reckless passion ,
While he drove the road the sloweth.
Halloween's a-commin' by,
October night when spirits fly!
When rattling bones
Dessert their homes --
Yowling to a midnight sky!
Where is everybody?
Try October 9

Today’s Jumble haiku:
(California is a “community property” state. What’s mine is hers [and vice versa]. We put our cash in a joint account. I remain pretty silent about this, not being one, er…to toot my own horn.)
”An Agile Reckoning”
Zeke mingles money
with his bride. A sporty guy?
(It’s the [ahem]… Law.)

We may exhort, implore, demand,
Adjure, enjoin, command .
But in the booth,
The truth, forsooth,
Elects who rules the land!
It needs no sleuth, like Sister Ruth,
nor a slug of vermouth from an uncouth youth,
to see your truth,
m’dear Owen…
You know I’m goin’
to welcome you back, while throwin’
in Thanks for the fine li’l po-em!

"Friendship"
Fred recently turned forty
and is still agile and sporty.
Yes, he has remained single
but he's social and likes to mingle.
He lost his job and has trouble paying his rent,
a problem about which he remains silent.
But his friends found out and gave him money
and this made his future again feel sunny.
Welcome back, Misty, to the page for Oct. 10th!
I know it was confusing before, when this "Monday" page was dangled before its proper time.
But now, we are all--as "they" say--on the same page, and at the right time.
Hurrah for us (and WooHOO). Maybe the blog has a future after all!
Your poem is deft & lithe, a salute to turning forty with generous friends.
It spells out another of your recurring themes.
In addition to celebrating romance & marriage, you often depict characters who fall upon "hard times,"
but then are rescued through the munificence of friends.
Your poetic world is a kindly place. We all would be better off living there.
The love of a good partner plus the bounty of an amiable community
= Misty's world.
Who needs Eden?

My goodness, Ol' Man Keith, you've just made my day (year, decade, more) with the kindest comments I may ever have gotten in my life.
When it comes to generosity of the heart, no one deserves a prize more than you! Wish I had one to bestow on you today!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. And then, in addition to all this, you wrote such a lovely and sweet verse for me. I'm going to make a copy of that so I can keep it.
My face turned red as I read your words, M!
While in this mutual complimentary state, please allow me to toss this your way…
I did today’s W after I saw what turned out to be sorta half a hint. See if it does you any good:

Wilbur, I'm guessing that was Lois talking to Holly in your verse yesterday?
I love the delightful rhymes you produce in your verses--especially "result" and "catapult", and "engage" and "assuage." But I have to admit that "Mouse" and "souse" just went totally out of bounds and cracked me up. Can't wait to see how your story and conversations continue.
Well, today was one of my worst Wordle efforts in a long time. Part of the problem was that there was something wrong with my site and I couldn't see the words as I put them in. Hope it works better tomorrow. Anyway, here it is:

As it dealt to me yesterday
Sorry that didn’t work so well, Misty. Not a great hint.
WC, Was your next-to-last try, “ENVOY”?
Mine was.

FLN, Wilbur ~ I was a bit puzzled by your verse speaker last night. Holly is mentioned, but I gather it is Lois doing the talking.
I sure hope so.
If so, it all makes sense as she reprises the experience we’ve all been tracking. Your tone here is crisp & natural, nicely justifying their liaison despite the AA guidelines.
And I agree with Misty’s appreciation of your rhymes.
