  1. Good Morning, Everyone…😷 MUM (SUM’S) THE WORD!😷

    🎶 Within the sound of SILENCE…🎶…”The Sound of Silence” – Simon & Garfunkel 1964  https://tinyurl.com/4brkrumx

    😷He’s hoping business might PICKUP…but so far things look grim,
    He’s baking like a RAISIN in the sun…not good for him…
    There’s nothing SMOOTH about today…his FERVOR on the wane,
    There’s probably JARGON for it…describing a mime’s bane…
    Hrs like a BATTER 3 and 2…the ball off pitcher’s glove?
    Doesn’t look to be boding well….today? …NOTHING TO SPEAK OF!😷

    MIMES…I just took a quick look…and found a puzzle in 2011, ‘12, ‘14, three in ‘17, another in ‘18 and ‘19…and…I gave up after that…So I think it’s safe to SAY that David has an affinity of some sort that’s pretty BLACK AND WHITE…

    So…Today…A park, who knows where…And a beleaguered mime who seems to have lost his beret…and instead is sporting a cap that’s NOT MUCH TO TALK ABOUT…And I don’t mean to judge, but that stomach of his? Can’t help but thinking how a WAIST is a terrible thing to MIME…Anyway, adding to his troubles, we can it’s evident that he’s not making any money today…Poor guy, his CUP RUNNETH OVER…with woe…( yes, pun intended)…But as for us, we can easily, breezily solve this one UTTERly simple one today…Between our question giving us…MIME (= no SPEAKING) and “some money” (= next to NOTHING), our dialogue TALKING it up, and that sad looking cup, with its paltry amount of coins? …Performing as a Mime?…NOTHING TO SPEAK OF  https://tinyurl.com/3wh76fru  …And we’ve solved this one in no time…Here’s to COINtinuing on to a new week…

    Jeff’s💎Gems? The shocked look on the woman at back…Seems as if she’s at a LOSS FOR WORDS…The RICH dialogue of the people at front, the man counting his coins, and the irate dog….trying to get his TWO CENTS in…But especially that ubiquitous clock tower…We’ve seen it so many TIMES in the past…

    SO…There you have it, Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And this puzzle reminds me of my friends, who told us he was considering trying his HAND at being a mime….that he’d been thinking about it for years, but he kept it QUIET, but felt now was the time to SPEAK up about it. And despite us telling him that it wasn’t all BLACK AND WHITE as far as making a living…that a successful mime was pretty much UNHEARD of…and that if SILENCE is golden why are there mimes working the streets for spare change…he just WAVED us off…He said he was tired of feeling BOXED in working in an office, and he’d enjoy being outdoors. So he went for it… Sadly though, within the first few hours, he upset some people in the park…and they all ended up in a fight, doing UNSPEAKABLE things to one another…so much so that the police were called. And to hear him tell it, it added insult to injury when the police laughingly told him he had the right to REMAIN SILENT….Truth be told, I was SPEECHLESS for a moment…and my SILENCE mist have SPOKEN volumes, because then we all laughed too…And I told him there were just NO WORDS to describe how he’s always BOXing himself into a corner with these HEARbrained ventures of his…And to COIN a phrase, don’t do the MIME if you can’t do the time…And that’s when he told me to MIME my own business…Figures…when it comes to taking advice?…It’s always been a MUTE point with him…😷🙋🏻‍♀️

  2. 🤷🏻‍♀️The FERVOR needed to write the ad for the new “PICKUP” JARGON was NOTHING TO SPEAK OF…and while they discussed it all, she prepared the BATTER for her RAISIN muffins…hoping for a SMOOTH resolution…🤷🏻‍♀️

    🤦🏻‍♂️ He couldn’t PICKUP on the JARGON, he figured he just wasn’t SMOOTH,
    And BATTER his brain as he tried to…his nerves he was hoping to soothe…
    He munched on a fresh RAISIN bagel, he wished he had FERVOR to spare,
    But nothing was helping this morning…his just couldn’t get his thoughts clear…
    He’s worried that he’ll never get it…and then when it’s push come to shove…
    He’s going to be left with egg on his face…because there’s NOTHING TO SPEAK OF! 🤦🏻‍♂️

  3. 😷 It’s not often that you’ll see a mime,
    They’re just not all that easy to find…
    An odd sight for sure,
    A career not secure…
    Just a strange way for one to pass time…😷

    👅 With not speaking it can be quite tough,
    And our guy here…he surely looks rough,
    Betcha’ his nerves are strung,
    But he must hold his tongue…
    Even though it seems he’s had enough… 👅 

    😢 See that tear fall…it’s often the case,
    You’ll see one painted on a mime’s face…
    But in this case I think,
    It’s because his heart sinks…
    For he’s not doing well at this place…😢

    🤦🏻‍♂️Black and white and now covered in red,
    Not newspaper…our mime’s face in dread…
    Hardly making a cent,
    He’ll not cover the rent…
    He’s in dire need of earning bread…🤦🏻‍♂️

    🤷🏻‍♂️So we wonder how this will turn out,
    Will our mime smile after this pout?…
    Right now chances are slim,
    And by looking at him?…
    Success today? There’s surely doubt! 🤷🏻‍♂️

  5. It was one of those Blind Solve Sundays….few and far between in my Jumble life. Thought SPEAK or SPOKE was part of the solution, then maybe the first word had an ING….and it all popped into my brain. Easy anagrams followed. Your FRIEND story was one of the best. Hope to see the Junior Jumble today. Enjoy your Sunday. Terry

    • Thank you, Terry..,gotta love those friends! 😂😂…And there’s the Kid’s Jumble…ONYEJ! 🙋🏻‍♀️

  6. An entertainer on the street

    Has financial goals to meet

    But with such paltry offers

    That don’t fill his coffers

    Will he ever be able to eat!

    Helen

    • 🤷🏻‍♂️Doubtful this man is missing his meals,
      Despite him not being well-heeled…
      Note the shape  that he’s in, 
      Far from anywhere thin…
      So I’d say comes to food…no big deal…🤷🏻‍♂️

      🤦🏻‍♂️Yes, his finances are a concern,
      Everyone needs to get out and earn…  
      But where he spends his dough,
      We may never know….
      But the eating? That bridge surely burned! 🤦🏻‍♂️

  7. Tough Jumble day. I was stumped by the cartoon Jumble big time.Thought the 2 two letter words were to and it, but couldn’t get the first or third words despite having solved the anagrams. Thanks for posting the Kids Jumble! Chuck!

  8. I had a successful week with the Jumbles. I’m not a fan of Mimes. They creep me out but I was able to breeze through the anagrams and get the cartoon solution pretty quickly today. Thanks for your post Angela. Have a great Sunday. Stan

    • YW, Stan…and Tk you. And I’m no fan of mimes either. Creepy is putting it mildly. 😱🙋🏻‍♀️

  9. Good morning. I felt great after getting all the words without having to look up a single one but I bombed out on the cartoon answer. The clues were there but I just didn’t see them. As usual Angela I enjoyed your song choice and your sense of humor. Until tomorrow take care.

  10. The words were easy, but the answer took a big thinking cap. I finally saw NOTHING, making the rest easy.

    The Sounds of Silence was an excellent choice for the music.

    • Tk you, Dennis, I always liked that song…And sorry it TALK you a while to come up with the solve…🙋🏻‍♀️

  11. Enjoyed the Jumble today. Got them all. Angela you outdid yourself today. I have no words. LOL.-Dave

    • LOL! 👏🏻👏🏻! Enjoyed your pun Dave. And tk you…🙋🏻‍♀️
