This week’s Rhapsody is from the space band, Spiritualized. Here it is from their Complete Works album, “Feel So Sad (Rhapsodies)”.
Today’s rhyme “What’s The News of the Day,” Is another one I never heard of. But it has a balloon in it so all is good.
The “real” Ariane has been sharing her side of her disastrous jogging date with Brian. There was more to it than Brian just being a clueless jerk. She had something… interesting planned. Or so she says, she seems to take some pride in being an unreliable narrator.
For one thing I’m not aware of Maple Lake Park having good thick woods for muggers to hide in.
There’s plenty more of this come… especially what she has planned for poor, poor Olive… but I’ll wait until they fit more into continuity.
Today’s Rhyme “I Washed My Mother’s Dishes” was one of those “when I was young poems. Most of them are pretty uninspiring, but the thing with the fish had possibilities.
Today’s rhyme, Cock A Doodle Doo” gave me too options. The first was from the rooster’s point of view. The other was from the view of the Master and the Dame. I went with the latter because I already had three sketches that were portraits of birds.
I found today’s Rhyme, “Baby and I“, confusing. I couldn’t tell if it was about cannibalism or if the narrator was stiffing the baker. I think it’s yet another one where stuff was left out over the years. For the sake of the image I went with the cannibalism. In order to make some sense out of people fitting in pie dishes, I made the baker an ogre.
