LB friends: Your words seemed to unspool in real time yesterday, matching the absurd (yet with a shred of hope) affairs in the US capitol.
OCTOBER 19th IN THE PEOPLE’S HOUSE
Through weeks and months of lying grift,
Each hour’s lies tempt shortened shrift,
Threaten to expire a father’s gift.
Those who attempt untying trust,
Those who spill intel, with lust,
Those who prey upon what’s just:
Temptingly, these rotten fruits,
In glumly lumpen dark blue suits
Grimly trumpet new recruits.
But urgently, with finger-swears,*
Behind the arras of their lairs,
Brave few emit some whispered dares–
“Fingerprint the trumpy perp
Whose petrifying shouts usurp
The wartime cries their lies subvert.
Usurp the lie, imprint the urge;
Unglue the gimlet eye, resurge;
It’s time now for a timely purge.
So stage an unregretful tryst,
Ignite a purifying gift,
And fire the impure gelt of grift.”
*Like pinky-swears, but for grown-ups.

Another awesome verse from our LB Poet Laureate. Thank you.
Couldn’t have said it better, Steph. Our secret treasure!
Thanks all. 🌷
Turns out the ‘brave few’ were joined by the not-so-brave many when the ballot was a secret one. A very interesting day this has been.
To make poetry (a word today) from that mess (and this time I’m not talking about the word list) is an impressive feat. Thank you for taking your time to entertain us once again.
MY VERY UNIQUE ANSWER (MVUA) for today: PINKEST-TRULY-YOUR
keystones-slurp-pit
Trinkets -Slurpy-You
Tokenises Slurpy
Outstanding!
That was supposed to be a reply to Jill’s poem. 🙄
SLIPKNOTS-SURETY
Yup, same.
Me too
Same
Sane.
Here’s one more.
I really liked KRYPTONITE but never saw the match for it. So another Slipknots-Surety for me.
Me too, ALIOW.
PINKOES – SULTRY
What a great answer! Moscow Central honeypots!
KETONES – SPURIOUSLY. What one spills with preeclampsia, I suppose.
Same. I found KEYSTONES SLURPIEST much quicker than this but SLURPIEST isn’t a word according to them even though SLURPY is. That doesn’t seem right.
SLURPILY is also not a word.
Reknits Spuriously
PINKOES-SULTRY
Topknots – Seriously
Slipknot, tourney
TRINKETS – SPURIOUSLY – cheap tchotchke
SLIPKNOTS – SURETY – security snare, lariat law, bola bondsman, roping responsibility, belay backer
Tres drole, MVUA!
Tokens-spuriously
Spuriously! Kudos!
Similar- Tokenises Slurpy
Linkups Stereotypy
LINKUP – POLYESTER.
I had piously for a minute or two and moved on. But quick finish for me.
Nice! There aren’t many words that end in ‘P,’ that don’t just have the ‘-SHIP’ suffix.
I’d found POLYSTYRENE, but failed to pair it. Should have stuck with the ‘POLY-‘ idea.
Linkup Polyester and Polystyrene here. Woefully inefficient and damn all TI to boot, but ALIOW.
OA minus 1:
SULK-KRYPTONITE
Me too!!! Bravo
Same!
STINKPOTS – SERIOUSLY? — outcry from the purists at the sailing club.
14/2.KOUPREYS STYLIN
Come again?
PITEOUSLY YONKER*
I had this but gave up on it when LB didn’t accept Yonker. I see now that it shows up in other dictionaries.
PINKER-RIOTOUSLY
Also KEYNOTES-SPURIOUSLY. I felt fired up by SPURIOUSLY, so went back for more. Thanks, guys!
This was mine, too.
same here! (Pinker, riotously)
RIOTOUS, STINKER, PURITY, SYRUP(S), PINKEST, STYLUS, PISTON(S), TOLUENE, KETONE(S) RESINOUS.
Etc.
The litterboxed looks easy. But, I still failed.

Radioactive, could you be jockeying for Sam Ezersky’s job?
Hahaha, STEPH❗️ I would love too. Coz, I am jobless here❗️ Solving puzzles is my pasttime. 😊😚🤗😊

TOP
TOKENS SPURIOUSLY
PERISTALTIC – CATHODE
If that’s the suggested OA, then Smith shall slay 😉
ACROLITHS—SPED
ARTICLE—EPHODS
DELPHIC—COSTAR
Many 13/2s with that grid.
✔
Mr.AgentSmith,
Thank you for your solutions!
😊🤗😚😊
Newbie here. Please does OA mean?
Polyneuritis – sink
Polyneuritis left a dangling K. I was googling neuropathy yesterday.
Pinker – Riotously
Same.
Pyritous / silken
POPULIST – TRINKETRY
Inkpots Seriously
Same for me – trinkets to spuriously
koupreys, siltstones
koupreys, slipknots
koupreys, senility
SLIPKNOTS — SERIOUSLY
Another Trinkets Spuriously.
Messy and inefficient but I don’t care. After seing the OA anything is forgivable…
pinkoes – sultry
I know that the LB creator doesn’t have to be efficient, but isn’t it weird that the OA isn’t just SULK–KRYPTONITE. It’s not as if the extra K contributes any TI.
Tokens-spuriously
SLIPKNOT-TOURNEY
Inkpots – Seriously ??
KETONES are SPURIOUSLY harmful
