Aw, you guys are so fun!
It’s chancy putting a game out there and not knowing if anyone will want to play. I loved watching you dig into your bookshelves. Your booklist was charming – reference books, all-time favorites, and even one of my dad’s titles – ranging from serious to slapstick. There were some classics, some inspirational, and some dry as toast, with a splash of whiskey (not recommended at home). Your kindness to me and each other was delightful. Thank you.
Did you know that one of you arranges her books by the colors of the rainbow – which pleases me to no end?
And these words…!
My friend Sheila emailed me to say that she checked four bookshelves hoping for something good. Four! and found “of” twice. “It’s a random word, dear, not a Message From Jehovah,” I told her. Her next email made me laugh. “At least it rhymes with love, she says, straightening.”
My friend Cris found page sixteen completely blank, between the introduction and part one of a medical tome. Very significant, that. If only I knew in what way.
We ended up with two main characters, Pat and Charles, besides dad and God. Your “boring” words held everything together (theoretically), and you had some winner nouns even though they didn’t know how to play nice with the other kids. The washstand and the R.R. were particularly unwieldy.
The following paragraph uses each of the words given me to date, and only those words, although some of them are used more than once.
Those schemes for the back door breakfast analogy you want will have dad as God. I want more green smoke for you. Pat schemes to have Charles for early breakfast. The washstand is in the windy October world. Charles is packing. Pat helps. I said I loved today. Charles had that last o’clock of life. The R.R. voices will have soul’s word in it. In Pat’s defense, I observe that Charles will have loved God.
I mean honestly, guys, it’s not a thing of great beauty. You can do better than this.
Are you sure you checked the right bookshelf?
Okay.
Well, that was silly and fun. What would you compose from our word list?
You have the best words.
Seriously, I blame those who DIDN’T produce words from the book on the shelf. If we had, you would have the right words to complete the truly intricate puzzle that was only beginning to take shape.
The solution to the failure of Big Data to answer the Big Questions is obviously More Data.
This is what I love about you.
xo
I say you did a terrific job considering what you had to work with. And that goes for everybody else, too, who does their best regardless of what their “sixteenth page” gives them. “She hath done what she could,” and so on. End of windy pat voices only hinting at analogy. You will want me to jump off my washstand and go packing at least until breakfast oclock in October.
??
Five stars!! And your washstand can stay right here, thank you very much.
Okay, I confess. I didn’t share my word. It would have made this paragraph SO much more meaningful. It was “so.” “So” it was.
Oh dear dear. I hope you SO learned your lesson!
It’s much easier as a poem! So fun
Is Soul’s Word in Defense of More?
Packing early breakfast, windy October o’clock schemes
Back door.
I observe smoke.
Had I have loved the world for you today God.
Dad last said that life will want voices.
As to Those it helps:
Green washstand analogy.
-Pat R.R. Charles
Ooh! Loving the poem format!
I’ve read poetry like that. It’s the type people pore over for hours trying to deduce meaning from.
I never knew how it was made.
Lol so that’s how it’s done.
Haha – hopefully there’s a “real” kind, too!
Some of these sentences sound like story starters! They make me want to create wildly imaginative fiction.
Oh yes, I know the feeling! Go for it.
Today, I want for you the green October world
To observe life is the door to the soul’s defense
Those voices that I loved will back that analogy.
Dad said “Pat, it is breakfast;
I want Charles to the washstand”
Windy schemes packing early…
The last smoke helps.
The word of God had said more,
I will have said more,
For Pat, for Charles, it is breakfast
I will observe that o’clock.
R. R.
My shelves revealed “bad” “boys” and “Joe” I should’ve submitted and helped Pat and Charles out.
Your first three lines are particularly amazing, Abraham. Take courage. God is greatly pleased.
(If you are not Ruthie and do not understand this comment, relax – she does.)
(I think.)
It sounds like evolution… given enough words n time, poof! A paragraph or a story.:) Good use of ur God-given brains!:)
You’ve heard of the infinite monkey theorem, right? Haha!

I may have spent time I didn’t have rearranging words. ? Thanks for the random challenge! So much fun!
Pat said to dad, “I loved that windy October. The smoke of the Charles R.R. Breakfast in the washstand. That word you said. The green back door. Those voices I had. Schemes for defense. I want to have more o’clock. Today I observe as God is packing analogy in to life. It is the soul’s will for the last world.
In your case, it is your last three sentences that especially intrigue and delight – I find “I want to have more o’clock” terribly funny. My thoughts exactly.
Observe God’s October
“Pat”, schemes Charles, “I will want the early o’clock for breakfast. Will you help me to observe the last of the windy October weather? As in God’s word, it is the analogy of the soul’s life. Today dad said in defense of packing, I have more helps for you.”
Observe! That green back door! Those voices back of the R.R.! The last of that smoke! The small washstand!
“Charles”, said Pat, “I have loved today!!”
I hadn’t planned on writing this, but after I read yours and the others, I thought it sounded like a fun challenge!
Kinda like a game of take one scrabble, with words instead of letters. It’s nothing phenomenal, but it does use all the words. 
I did drop an s off of one help, and added the word small. Because that was my word. I had issues with posting on my phone, so it wasn’t added. I love traveling, so this is about a spontaneous outing before winter, and some of the things they saw.
P.S. loved the pix.:0 I could use some trained monkeys to help me out with dreaded book work!
It is just like Take One! Good analogy.
Great stuff, especially “observe the last of the windy October weather…”
