Notes, Comments, Tomfoolery, and Clue!

Good evening, folks...trust all is well. First of all, let me congratulate all those who commented on the first Poem Contest posting I had. Bear in mind, as Judge and Jury, only I am permitted to send messages without words...It was mentioned that this would be a tougher quiz...see with me, words are completely optional. Re. the $160 electrician's bill, once, in my old house, I had one come and put a new ceiling light fixture in my father's room, and track lights in my room. His work was awful, fixture was the cheapest thing...I had worked in a retail lighting store, and knew he paid about $20 for it, the track lights were extremely unsightly, the ceiling was butchered; the entire job took no more than 30 minutes, and he handed me an $800 bill!! Talk about highway robbery. Now a few bits of Tomfoolery, with but a few "Tom's Tidbits". How can I lose more stuff than I own?? It's a struggle to figure out how to get my cell phone to work. I wonder if that's because I've never been imprisoned. Talk about hot flashes...I had my first with the above mentioned electrician. A ringing in the ears is but to be expected by someone named Bell. Did I mention about the Honda Civic Center?? My "No Words" Poetry form should be posted with the Soup. What'ch ya' think; "Tomfooleryesgue??" Any suggestions?? A bachelor like me gets so lazy, if I get hungry, the most I can do is take an olive out of the jar...w hands, of course... Comments; I wanted to post either "Electric Blanket" or "How to Pay Bills" but the Soup won't allow it, cause they're too long, and require two postings...Should they count as one? Or should I just post part No.1, and leave it up to you clever people to find pt.2 on your own?? Is this idea acceptable, guys?? Please let me know. The Soup is always busting my chops about using the number symbol. I suppose there is a good reason....gotta find out why...they are like our parents here, at least for me. Just wish they would cook me a meal once in awhile, maybe do the laundry or somethin'.... Kindly post your votes on third poem being "Electric Blanket" or "How to Pay Bills" which I have just "fine tuned" a bit...let's see how it runs now, or is, like a guitar, a thing in need of a tune-up to play. You can post your votes as comments at this posting site, and "write-in Candidates" are accepted gleefully... Now, up with Clue No. 1 on Super Quiz Poetry Contest. Okay, the moment you've been waiting for!!! Clue No. 1
