Ok, Onnicles, name this poet who I've obscured in what you might call an arted garble of words to confound the lazy. This poet was a genius. And although an Adlerian psychologist might say that he overcompensated for his deep-seeded inferiorities by becoming a genius, I say "Damn Adler". Genius is genius and Adler might best go out and overcompensate for his own damn inferiorities first. Besides, the phrase "Damn Adler" is an anagram for a famous poem written by our poet...name it too.

I got it, but I cheated again so I won't post the answers. Glad you're back, jj.

OK, onnicliers, answer this: Am I the king of ancient Kush? Am I a fearful Stygian and the pharaoh’s nemesis? Or am I simply a wooly-eyed dreamer who uses this bully pulpit to escape to a fantasy world?
The man, the group, the song.

Hi Beck! Good to be back. The answers to your questions are "no" "no" and "yes". And incidently, the singer is Sam The Sham, the group is The Pharaohs, and the song is Wooly-Bully. But you should be jailed. "Wooly Bully" will be singing in my head all day until I replace it with something more intellectual...like, you know, Little Red Riding Hood - OooWhooo!

Jenny: good job on solving the Weber onnicle. His name is Carl Maria Friedrich Ernst von Weber, so you see where I hid Friedrich...and gave you all a little refresher in Music History too.

Today's Thought of the Day: Poetry An onnicle is the art of saying what you mean but disguising it. -Diane Wakoski, poet (b. 1937) from Wordsmith.org
