6 given words from Writer's Digest:
howl little  pop right toast paper 

3WW with words:
cathartic (purging the bowels, a laxative)
jeopardy risky

Man and his antics
What a howler
Waving a little walking stick
Would pop right up in a bowler

A toast to baggy pants
Cathartic character
Comic relief in movements
Funny gait, not a bother

Music and sounds in jeopardy
On paper. it looked risky
Achievements of a load
All in silent mode

For Thomg's hosting at 3WW and Writer's Digest poetry prompts #268

  3. Charlie Chaplin made a fortune from that funny gait, so of course it didn't bother him!

  5. Well put. Charlie Chaplin was a brilliant strategist who knew how to pull off physical comedy and make it resonate across time and space without a sound.

  8. This was the time when the working class poor needed a lift and and he did it with an endearing humour in a new medium; cinema. Great tribute Hank.
