    As they pull into the Charterstone parking lot, Mary has finally persuaded Wilbur that things will get better and that the future is something to look forward to.

    As Wilbur walks to his apartment, there is the slightest hint of a spring in his step. Then he overhears Mary greeting Iris, who giddily shows Mary her new engagement ring.

    Wilbur, you're gonna need a bigger radio.

    -- Scottie McW.

    Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

    " 'St. Wilbur Of The Cross?' or 'Donate Your Hello Kitty Mug And Shower Radio To St Anne's And You'll Be Just Fine' ".

    Mary...mess!
    Okay. Light, darkest.
    Dark night soul.
    Better, brighter. Guarantee.
    You'll.

    More bad news for Wilbur: His car has been stolen.

    Mary’s going to need a new car air freshener. Wilbur looks pretty ripe.

    "You know what I'm saying, Wilbur? Kind of like objects in mirror are closer than they appear."

    Great haiku title Nanc, and great raw material from the old Moy Bold Mine!

    Story (such as it is) will resolve with muffins. Muffins solve everything.

    So ... no pool party! I want Mary to ask Wilbur about Fabiana. I want to see Mary's reaction to the story about the emerald ring. I'd like to see her put a positive spin on THAT!

    The bigger picture is BETTER and BRIGHTER than what appears now.
    ...Argh! ... Whirr! ... BEEP!

    I'm still hoping Wilbur vomits all over Mary's car.

    Nance, I love how you had YOU'll hanging out there for haiku line 5. Inspired. A contraction for "YOU WILL", which I see Wilbur quickly recovering to, more's the pity....
