Hang-A-Muse with Flowers

April 28, 2010

Muses Terpsichore and Euterpe were thrilled to find a crowd at the Muse Pond for Muse Potpourri. Terpsichore had prepared a special Hang-A-Muse game and was very happy to share it with so many of her friends. Muse Euterpe, on the other hand, was hoping all the guests were on top of their game so she would not get hung.

Terpsichore had chosen a theme of Spring Flowers which everyone thought should be fairly easy. In fact, she began with an "easy one." She chose a two word flower name "_ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _"

There was an R and an E but no S. Then an A appeared but no L. O was guessed and the words began to take shape "_ A _ E - RO _ _" Euterpe was starting to feel secure in not losing any more parts but she lost a leg when D was guessed. The group began to feel wary about the idea of this being an easy flower name. What would the rest be like? Then Lady Songbird guessed a B and the name "Wake Robin." Terpsichore may have thought it was easy but most definitely not common.

Terpsichore then chose a 12 letter flower name. Groans were heard clear to the street from the Pond. It turned out that Euterpe only lost both arms before lita guessed Philodendron. It seemed the long word was easier to do.

There was only time for one more word so Terpsichore chose an 8 letter word. There were 2 E's and an S when the guess of P caused Euterpe to lose an arm. The guess of H lost Euterpe another arm. Thing were looking grim until an R was guessed along with an O. Time was running out so Terpsichore asked the group to shout out guesses on the word of "_ _ _ EROSE". Blue was the one to guess Tuberose and save the day.

At the end of the hour everyone received Terpsichore's Teacup Fuzzie to take home and care for.
