I used to know
the happiest guy
in the world.
***
He was always whistling
a happy tune. He’d say,
“Whistling makes the gloomiest day seem bright”
***
And he whistled while he worked.
***
He whistled while he ate.
***
He whistled while he rested.
***
And he whistled while you
were trying to talk to him.
***
In fact—
I only knew him not
to whistle one time.
And that was when I
slapped the whistle
out of his dumb mouth.

A Merry Christmas, A Chairful Holiday, A Blithesome Trefmas, and a Happy New Y’ar to Some of You!
Ten years? That’s something to whistle about.
Thanks, Pam. I am shooting for fifty more, but then that’s it.
Admirable goal.
T’was the whistle what done him!
You know, a great man once told me about the rough nature of a neighborhood in which he’d lived, years before.
Said he couldn’t sleep most nights, what with the incessant, shrill chirping of the …
[REDACTED]
The whistling fell silent.And finally, sleep.
Sorry, Old Boot I had to delete a bit of that.
Think I’m going to make a video with all the redacted stuff. It’ll get killed in the algorithm, but it’ll be there for anyone who wants to see/hear it.
Best,

What did whistler’s mother have to say about your assault on her son?
She just kept a-sittin’ and a-rockin’. Thanks, B
I like your selective good wishes. Thanks 🙏🏼
All our welcome in trefology. Thanks, Sadje
Thank you Raymond. Love your sense of humor 😜😂🥹
Happy anniversary, George. Your humor is unique and laugh out loud.
Thanks, Jack. Appreciate it.
Did he whistle in his sleep? Doing something other than just snoring is definitely nothing to sneeze at!
We are in agreement. Thanks, David
Merry Whistling Trefmas! Another year has whizzed by like a golf ball shooting dangerously close our noses! Smell you later, my friend.
Yes, I understand, Crow. I think it was an afternoon soap opera my mom always watched that said, “Like sands through an hour glass, so go the days of our lives”. Then, cue theme song. Thanks, Crow.
I’m whistling Silent Night right now…have a great Christmas Tref!
You, too, Max. Thanks!
:D Did he ever whistle again?
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
And congratulations on 10 years of making everyone laugh!
Thank you for the kind words, Mermaid, and I apologize for the lateness of my reply.
No worries! :)
That guy sounds seriously annoying. You did the world a favor. Merry Christmas, tref!
Sometimes it seems like I am ALWAYS doing the world a favor. And what do I get in return from the world? Nothing. Thanks, Ilsa
It’s a thankless job, tref. {nodding}
Best “tweet” of 2024, George. Thanks for your gift and many happy returns.
Thanks, E Sum. I try my best. Happy New Year!
I hope your Christmas was merry and bright with no little elves whistling while they worked. :)
Thank you, Nancy. It was a great day. I hope it was for you, too. And Happy New Year!
The old artificial whistle is a little hard , I like the old natural right from the horse’s mouth. The flower looks like it could use a little augua.
The flower had already seen better hours when it was handed to me, but hanging out all day did on my jacket not improve its condition. Thanks, Cbh
I have a place for discarded vegetation. You are a kind soul and dapper on the side.
He was asking for it! lol :)
PS: Happy new year to you too. :) :)
My New Year’s Resolution is to cut back on my whistling. Thank you for the Intervention.
Hahaha! Good one! I hope you had a good Christmas and new years!
Back from Christmas break and what do I find? A new Trefology! It a great start to the new year! Oh! Was it one of them Oscar Meyer weenie whistles?
Hey Janny. I was wondering what happened to you. Hope you had a good holiday.
I did! Thank you. I hope yours was wonderful as well. Cheers to a New year!
