The opening poem contains all the words (or variations of them) from today's Jumble.
Comments are welcomed! And couching them in Poetry is definitely NOT required.
Do not explicitly reveal any of the actual answer words until after closing time, but embedding them surreptitiously in comment sentences is encouraged.
This was one of those jumbles where the solution came to me before the clues. Pretty obvious, actually, and pretty cute. But then I couldn't get clue four and had to look it up. Even knowing the letters that would come from that clue, no help!
ReplyDeleteHad to resort to jumbleanswer.com. Tsk, tsk.
ReplyDelete(See title* in 2nd haiku.)
Jock’s zesty lass wore
puzzling fibulae, shap’d like
Welshmen call’d “Taffy.”
Hap’ly, Jock’s vision
was *”A Little Too Fuzzy”
to read her brooches…
~ OMK
She felt Jock was a
ReplyDeleteload 'o crock--and only made
happy by Taffy.
~ OMK
"Riddle"
ReplyDeleteHere's a little riddle:
Is taffy daffy?
Is zesty testy?
Is a fibula like a tibia?
Does anything rhyme with fuzzy?
I think I'll guzzle
some wine,
to help me solve this puzzle.
I enjoyed your piece, Misty, especially your guzzling at the end.
ReplyDeleteBut don't you already know the answer to your question?
"Does anything rhyme with fuzzy?"
Are you forgetting "Fuzzy Wuzzy Was a Bear"?
And the ending which goes...
"So Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy.
Was he?"
~ OMK
I almost broke a leg solving number 4, but as others have said the solution to the cartoon kept me unbroken. I have been trying to solve without looking at the hint but did not make it. Thanks for the entertainment
ReplyDeleteWow! Three verses from you this morning, Ol' Man Keith--could be a haiku record for you? Many thanks for that set of gifts!
ReplyDeleteAh, I did remember Fuzzy Wuzzy, and nice to be reminded of the ending. However, the goal of this Jumble for me had to be to rhyme PUZZLE--my favorite Jumble word of all time!
I did play around with NUZZLE and MUZZLE--but I was getting thirsty, so . . . (Okay, okay, it's early and so just coffee and grape juice at this point. But when I watch the news later on, I will guzzle).
"So Chet, how's your sponsee Eddie coming along? Any progress?"
ReplyDelete"He's a puzzle, one day he's shows zest for the program, more or less
Then he starts acting a little fuzzy. 'Are you okay, Ed? No fibs,
If you've been drinking I'd prefer you be honest if I had my dibs'".
"Let's face it, you don't spend time at that seedy bar eating taffy
I may not be the sharpest thorn on the rosebush but I'm not daffy"

Oops, blogger doesn't like wordle.
ReplyDeleteBTW, as I was saying...
Misty, I liked your change of pace. Btw, I was listening to Delilah and a guy told her he'd net his wife on a blind date and married her a month later. 28 years ago.
OMK, a valiant effort to combine fibuka,fibula, and taffy. Quite a puzzle, eh
Welcome lemonade, great to have you. And Sandy, only trying every combination did I come up with fibula.

Sorry, after losing two posts I didn't dare preview.
ReplyDeleteWilbur, it's very sad that Eddie seems to be backsliding. I hope we'll see Chet help him stick with his commitment..
ReplyDeleteAs for fibula, I'm sometimes not as patient as I could be. So I try and try and at some point just say, "oh, the heck with it! Don't want to spend any more time on this!". Especially when I already have the solution.
Ok, Wilbur, you sent me to Google. I hope you read this tonight or tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteNever heard "sponsee" before; more familiar with "sponsoree" or "sponsored person".
Can find it in some online dictionaries, but not standard ones like Merriam Webster or Oxford. Apoarently it's used most often or even exclusvely in an addiction counseling context. Is that your understanding?
