It is Quilly day. Time to take Quilly’s three words for the day and write a story. The words are propinquity , susurrus , nescience . Click on a word for a definition.

Tony Big Ears Kallio was once the crime boss of all greater Marquette County in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula but now he was just another old man at another senior citizen center. Today he was at the Ishpeming center where his snail Hessa One had as usual won the snail race . He loved Hessa One as it never lost. Today the pot was even larger than usual and he pocketed $21.13. It was a grueling race 25 Centimeters long and took the snails two hours to complete. Hessa One had shot out to a millimeter lead and never looked back. Tony said you could hear the susurrus it made as it raced along. It was hard to believe there was any kind of propinquity between it and the other snails. Of course it was the nescience of the other seniors that allowed Hessa One to keep winning. Nobody ever thought of a drug test for snails.

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.

Propinquity to flowers caused the sneeze
Sternutation after sternutation made a breeze
Not a susurrus the resulting sound
Shook like an earthquake the ground
Nescience always has a cost
Learn to stop or just be lost.
For allergies you take a pill
sneeze no more then you will.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
Seeing the weapons posed on the White Rabbit those town people in the museum started to protest,but were cut off by the commanding voice of the leader of the men in black. They were in charge.
The big blow did not move the men in black, so the White Rabbit, or the being posing as the rabbit used his ability to freeze or immobilize the men in black and others in the museum. Gathering all the weapons he attached them to the ceiling and then hid behind the Native American display. That completed he returned them to normal.
Confusion showed in the faces of up to now stoic men. The White Rabbit was not where they had just seen it. Their weapons were missing. The visitors from the city moved to the door , but did not go out. A search began. The men in black never looking up finally found the rabbit confronting it weaponless. Their machines hummed loudly.

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

Or you can scrool down and see my poem for a day in April poems.I visited people that used Quilly's words then I copied next week's words and looked up their meanings.Betty and I gave Maggie her flea treatment which she just hates. Watched the President's news conference from England. Visited all of the blogs that commented yesterday and left comments. Now I need a breathing treatment.
