Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 21, 2023

Cootie jinx

Actually, he gets a note “oot”.

every / good / boy / does / oot

Grandma has the right idea…

Sleep is its own reward..

Oot is meant to be toot. Well, it’s a start.

I’ve always said, “Buy a noisy, itchy dress, pay for it later.” I’ve always said that.

And the crowd roars.

He obviously knew a great deal about the oboe.

Mr. Thompson must have played the oboe, or at least tried one… he seems to capture the challenges of this instrument very well!

Look at those digits! Aren’t they fidgety? ☺

Shouldn’t that sound be “Ott?”

You bet your sweet Peteyootie!!

I love that Petey is narrating this David Attenborough style.

Alice, MAKING you crazy?! Honey, that ship has already sailed.

Grandma, having seen it all already is so blasé about the whole thing, she is taking a nap; but I’ll bet she still has a couple deviled eggs in her pocket.

Petey’s commentary on Petey’s playing is just a beginning. We are still far from any deviled-egg coda.

Somehow, this turns my thoughts to Chaucer: Murder will oot ….and dreams come surely true.
