That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 23, 2022

My original response in 2017:

Very few people knew about Quasimodo’s and Esmeralda’s love child.

Rent for the loft was cheap.

she is a dead ringer for her boss!

If I ring this bell three times and turn around will Quasimodo appear?

/// She could ring the church bell with acumen,

but the NOISE— (after all, she’s just human).

In the belfry, her hope

when she’s pulling that rope,

is the peals will be dulled by cerumen.

When Quasimodo payed her $50 to ring his bell, this wasn’t what Esmeralda expected.

Edith considered yet again how much easier this job would be if she just had a wristwatch.

Edith, waiting for the man who jilted her to ride by before hanging herself from the bell. That way, the whole town would know what he had done!

Social media was difficult for some girls before the invention of the cell phone.

What we all thought was the final scène in “Vertigo”.

“Curfew must not ring tonight!”

Oranges and lemons say the bells of St. Clemons. . .

She’s come up to the tower to mope./

she’s out on a slippery slope:/

she’s no Quasimodo/

she’s just one more dodo/

she’s come to the end of her rope///

she looks like she can’t quite cope/

Do we think there’s much hope for her?/

Nope.

Something about this painting rings a bell…it must be throwback Thursday…

Courtney had been the church bell ringer for five years. She had no idea how devastating it would be for her social life when she took the job. Nowadays, when asked a question or in idle conversation her response was always “What?”

Poor Courtney is always alone/

Hence her talents are largely unknown/

She could dance, she could sing/

But she’s chosen to ring../

Now Poor Courtney is deaf as a stone.

She has an alarm set on her iPhone to remind her when to ring.

I won’t have to ring this damn thing if I crack it, …

In the bell tower there stood a lady / With a look in her eye that said, “Maybe.” / Then a voice, coarse and low / Called out from down below / “Are you ringing my chimes today, baby?”

11:58 Mississippi…11:59 Mississippi

“So how do I download a different ringtone on this thing?”

ready for her first glockenspiel lesson.

" The scene was in the jailhouse / and if curfew rang that night / Nell’s Dad in number 13 cell / would go out like a light // She knew her Dad was innocent / so plucky little Nell / she tied her tender torso / to the clapper of the bell.

♪ Hang on the bell, Nellie

The vicar, from his vantage point below, really enjoyed her daily treks up and down the belfry stairs.

Nothing could be sicker than the Vicar’s sickly snicker in the mor-or-or in’…

Anita Ward getting the inspiration for her disco hit – RING MY BELL

She had just one job…

God yes!

" You keep pullin’ on that and your gonna go deaf! "

Rapunzel regretting getting her hair cut short.

her face rings the bell.she sounds the bell every hour on the hour so men will look at her. “maybe some day” she thinks.

What should she do? She forgot the lanterns. Maybe Mr. Revere will figure it out if I ring the bell once or twice.

hmmm, this still doesn’t ring a bell…

For Friday:

The voyage is less than a thriller/

Though the Pilot is clearly a killer/

Who dismembers his guests/

When they wake from their rests:/

You can tell by the head on the tiller/
