Just because
today is
the 4th of July,
I do not need
the New York Times
to congratulate me
***
WORDLE
is the brilliant evolution
of
which I was introduced to
when Eisenhower
was President
The hyperlinked puzzle
was shared with
at least
1000 people
since then
In all respects but one,
yesterday was a beautiful day
—however—
my third Wordle streak
of more than
130 days
came to an end
+
a tangible state
of deep depression
overwhelmed me
Without a late night
"Genius"
level word
on
the Spelling Bee Puzzle
that depression
could have reached
deadly proportions
My oversized ego
thought death
might claim me
on July 4th
as it did for
+
They both died
exactly 199 years ago
today
!!!
The laughable conclusion
to this very Father-centric
blogger is that
the correct answer
to yesterday's Wordle
was
POPPY
!!!
My therapist
demands
I direct
your attention
to his comment

Conspicuously absent from Paul's page is
ReplyDeleteany hyperlinks directly related to the New York Times
or any of its puzzles.
But knowing the "author" for more than sixty years,
the reason is quite simple: his paranoia about
that powerhouse newspaper further downgrading
his Wordle/Spelling Bee statistics
would devastate my patient.
Or they could do worse:
deny Paul access to either puzzle.
Were either of the above to happen,
our therapy sessions would become pure blather about SUDOKU,
literature, his Appalachian Dulcimer and the semi-pro status
of the Los Angeles Angels baseball team.
