Well, if you/I/we must confess, Mister Beck; every time I lie I whistle. (see my last post)

What are we looking for in this? The poem itself is too famous (well, in it's original form) for it to be the author. So...?

Yes, for me that was the challange and the fun; hiding a familiar name in a structured poem. First I hid the name between the poem's run-on numbers (I added a sixandseven to make it more complex.) My gamble worked. Twelve hours passed and no one saw the familiar name nestled between the six and seven. What good luck! So I moved it. My asterisk addition was to be a hint given in text (tx) messaging form. Give up?

Did you replace "break" with "shoot" intentionally, too? Or does it just sound better?

I see "Tori Ives" in there, but don't think the publicist for the Crescenta Valley High School Symphony Orchestra (La Crescenta, CA) is famous enough to deserve an onnicle.
Also, could we please agree upon a less silly name for these puzzles?

Jenny! That was absolutely brilliant!
I found "EE" in blueeyed boy, but that was the only reference to the author I could find.

I got my own onnicle!!! HOLY S***!!! Where can I possibly go from here?
Very clever, JJs, very clever.
What means, "Who shot Bill?" I don't get that part.

Humor: Who shot Bill? Beck shot Bill! I couldn't very well say, "Find a famous onnicler in this poem", could I? After all, there are only onetwothreefourfivesixbeckseven, or so, of us.

Consider this poor fellow. His entire country’s in bad shape ever since those darned Mamluks took over. Nonetheless, he continues to sail (or sometimes magically travel) the pathways of classic fictional heroes to this day.

From the dawn of time to the present day, from Afghanistan’s mountains to shores of Normandy, this world has seen her fair share of conflict. You may ask: “What is war?” Holocaust survivors can answer: “Men possessed by Evil!”
Late Lennon’s soulful song overpraising Utopian paradise: IMAGINE, even that masterpiece couldn’t stop operatives from carrying on their martial agendas. How ironic that the life of a pacifist should have been taken violently! What will it take to bring peace to our world?
Clue: Find the artist, his genre, and one of his works herein.

I am seriously cross-threading, but Beck was the first to do this. Beck: this one's for you. Out in remote Victorville A young pilot was testing his skill. In his glider he flew Right up into the blue And discovered a new kind of thrill.

Oh what the heck, I must go home and my computer at home refuses to online, and so Mister Coffee, I must hurry my answer... ANDY WARHOL POP ART and KEN (of Ken and Barbie) I really don't think Ken's screen print was that popular but what the heck - time's awasting.

You got two out of three, Jenny.
From the dawn of time to the present day, from Afghanistan’s mountains to shores of Normandy, this world has seen her fair share of conflict. You may ask: “What is war?” Holocaust survivors can answer: “Men possessed by Evil!”
Late Lennon’s soulful song overpraising Utopian paradise: IMAGINE, even that masterpiece couldn’t sto p op eratives from carrying on their m art ial agendas. How ironic that the life of a pacifist should have been taken violently! What will it take to bring peace to our world?
But "Ken" is not the right answer. Keep looking.

I thought perhaps "Pumping Iron." "Iron" is in there, but I don't see the "pumping." (I'm not familiar with any but his most famous works - where's Jackie on this thread?)

I think mine, but I don't know. I only found half the puzzle. (Which was a great one. I feel like a dope for saying I only know his most popular works. Duh.)

Orville Wright!
Ma and Pa Kettle could not decide where to go on their vacation. They argued back and forth, especially Ma, she being bellicose at the best of times. Pa ultimately put his foot down and, pointing to the map, announced, "Woman, we're going to that thar town with that big bakery: the one with that giant statue of a bun: y'an." Ma said, "Fine, but I better not catch you lookin' at all them babes. You know, the ones in the skimpy little blue aprons with the frills. If'n you do, I'm liable to bring you home in a pine box!"
See y'all in a week: I'm off to Minnesota! (This has a two-part answer.)
