Words for Wednesday -- Eulogy and Telling-off

This meme was started by Delores a long time ago.  Troubles led her to bow out, but the meme was too much fun to let go, and now Words for Wednesday is provided by a number of people and has become a movable feast. With Elephant's Child as our coordinator.

  Essentially the aim of this meme is to encourage us to write.  Each week we are given some prompts. These prompts can be words, phrases, music or images.
  What we do with those prompts is up to us:  a short story, prose, a song, a poem, or treating them with ignore...
  We can use some or all of the prompts, and mixing and matching is encouraged.

  Some of us put our creation in comments on the post, and others post on their own blog. This fun meme includes cheering on the other participants.
  And the more the merrier goes here as well, so if you are posting on your own blog then please tell us in the comments, so that all other participants, can come along and applaud.
   In June yours truly, MotherOwl is supplying the Words, and they can be found here.

Guidance, Tea, Argument, Role, Thanks, Warning
     and/or
Leadership, Song, Nation, Highway, Piano, Owner

Normally I use the words to continue my never-ending story of Susan and her friends, but today sad news reached me. So I tell this real life story. I did not use the last three words.

Sad news from the nest
Now Mama Owl is looking for guidance and rats in vain. Daddy Owl lost his life to a length of wire some days ago.
While we sat cosily drinking tea in our garden, having a nice argument, or discussing the use of harsh language in role playing games, he was stuck out there, close to the nest, slowly dying.
We all give thanks to Daddy Owl for the many years he has supplied changing Mommy Owls with encouraging hooting and innumerable rats and other animals of prey.
Let this be a warning to us all: Leave no lengths of wire, no plastic bags or other semi-indestructible pieces of waste lying around. This might be a job for our leaderships, but as they do not listen to the song of nature and wild things, it's up to us, the inhabitants of every nation, to pull ourselves together and DO something.

The three owlets in the nest yesterday. They have been left more alone the last couple of days, Momma Owl is out hunting, we understand now. Luckily warmer weather has arrived and the owlets have grown. We can hope for their survival.

Klaus Dichmann writes: June 14 2022 a dead European Eagle Owl  was found app. 800 m. from the nest with the web-cam. The owl was stuck in a length of wire and has been dead for some days.  We believe it to be the male of the pair in the nest that has tragically died. The Web-cam luckily still shows their three owlets still being fed by the female owl. Latest feeding was June 15 in the morning.

We can still follow the nest here.
