It is Quilly day. Time to take Quilly’s three words for the day and write a story. The words are antediluvian; prolix; & ineluctable Click on a word for a definition.

One of his students accused him of being antediluvian just because he dressed conservatively and never used any of that modern slang. Another had accused him of being prolix in his word choice probably because they didn’t speak or understand real English. On the other hand their proper use of two of today's vocabulary words held some promise that they might be capable of learning.
He often wondered why he had agreed to take the job of English Professor at the University of Super Heroes. It was, of course much more fun being a super hero than teaching them. He was, after all, in his other identity The Mighty Walking Wizard and as such an ineluctable force in his own right. But he knew that in the world in which his students flew, ran, or zapped communication was important and that was an ineluctable fact.
So he had let President Zero Zeus talk him into taking the job. He was still free in the evenings to roam the countryside as the Walking Wizard and save at least some part of the world. Though some nights , even though it was against his hero code, he used his power to get a little revenge. Like the night he turned Superior Boy , who had been extremely rude in class, into a flying frog. Now that was funny. A super, ineluctable frog flying all over campus. Of course, in the morning he changed him back. His attitude in class was much improved.
Today all of that was not important. Today all the super heroes had to work together to face a monster from an antediluvian time. It had such power that it seemed it’s ineluctable destiny to destroy the world . He had the spell to destroy it but the super heroes needed to keep it away while he recited a veritable prolix of words. Could they do it?
Only time would tell.


And of course with Quilly's words comes the required quivel. Remember to write quivel you must write something that looks like a poem, any style , but is so bad that if it was printed in a book of poetry a true poetic zoilist would tear it out and burn it. What looks like bad haiku is really qiku where the middle line must always contain a Quilly word.

Antediluvian was his place
But still it was his space
Ineluctable as it may be
Still it made him feel free
Tired was he of speech prolix
But that he could not fix
So he hid out on the farm
There nothing meant him harm

Very old
Antediluvian
Young

Strange
prolix thoughts
Normal

Destiny
Ineluctable force
History

Of course the dragons will be busy today you can see them HERE.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
The State Police have still not arrived and things are getting worse. Horace Slovinsky called the Constable to tell him that three of his hunting dogs have been stolen. They were , according to Horace “ The best dang rabbit dogs in the whole county”. He wants them back and he wants them back now. The Constable went out to Horace’s place but just like all the other cases there was nothing to see. The fencing around the dog pen was uncut. There was no blood and no sign of a struggle. There was, in fact, not a single clue. Horace said those dogs were well trained and wouldn’t go with anybody else. But apparently they did.
Constable Mike stopped at Nancy’s for a cup of coffee and Nancy told him the strangest story. It seems the Department of Natural Resources man had come in for coffee and told her how confused he was. They had put ear transmitters in half of the wolf pack so they could track their movement. Several days ago three of the wolves went to the same place and stayed there. The DNR figured they had been shot but when they got there there were no bodies, no blood, and no sign of a struggle. They couldn’t find any transmitters . But when they got back to the office they found the three transmitters were still transmitting from the same place. Now that is weird even for Pigeon Falls.
Back at the Town Hall Mike set up a bulletin board in his office, which used to be the storage room and put a sheet on each crime on it. He saw them do that on “ Criminal Minds” and he thought it would be helpful. So he has three horses, three chickens, three dogs, three wolves, and two sets of three cows. By location they are spread out all over the place. Only two are anywhere near each other. They have nothing in common except three cows and three wolves have tracking devices which when followed lead you to a point and there is nothing there. Now he has to make sense out of all this.

Wrap UP

Ella really enjoyed riding the package belt at Menard's. It was just like a Carnival ride she said. The clerk was very nice about it.
I had a great day. I visited and left comments on all the blogs that left comments on mine in the last two days. I wrote a piece of drivel. Betty and I made saffron buns. We went out to lunch with Melli, "Mom" and Ella. We visited the ERA Museum saw some great old planes. Played canasta and I won. Now I need a breathing treatment.
