| _whisk, sixty, inhale, summer, mess with him.Image(s) from the Internet.
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.
Kinda weird as a pun, but probably pretty true to life.
ReplyDeleteBut I think he should take better care of his guitar at least!
“Inhale my Dust!”
ReplyDeleteLast summer I was
doing sixty, messing past
pals by a whisker.

Took me to guess five to get the word. The first three guesses are represented accurately. Don't understand why the above shows guess four as totally correct also; I had the first two letters ok, and just one other correct letter, but in the wrong place. Ah well.

OK. Try reading my above verse aloud, substituting this variant for the 3rd line:
ReplyDelete… pals, drinkin’ whiskey.

Spring has sprung here. Soon it will be summer. But why does it always seem to whisk by like sixty? I love to smell the roses and inhale the fresh air.
ReplyDeleteBut thankfully there is never a gecko be avoided here in my garden. I wouldn’t mess with him.

"Freedom"
ReplyDeleteAfter being frisked,
to determine he was not a risk,
Harry could finally inhale
after getting his brother out of jail
and whisking him home last summer,
so the family could once again slumber.
Those sixty days were a mess,
but the ending they all now bless.
Good work, CE! Both in your Wordle win and the smooth reeling-off of all the J-words.
ReplyDeleteI agree that spring seems to whiz past.
But if you include the latter part of winter in your reckoning, you can gain a few more weeks to appreciate this portion of the calendar. In my location, the sun reappears on the patio on the north side of my house in mid-February, just in time for my birthday. I no longer have to roll my wheelchair around to the front (south) for my daily basking.
I think I’ll start calling those 3 to 4 weeks “Prevernal,” or something like that.
Misty ~ I like your “Freedom.” I won’t speculate as to whether Harry’s brother was guilty or not—because the lad’s done his time.
What’s important is Harry’s altruism, the love that had him working those 60 days to bring his brother home.
A united family counts for a lot.
And your count comes to a perfect five—the 4 J-words plus the solution.
(The missing lexical lizard doesn’t count; you’re not playing that game.) Full J-marks! Good job!

Well, you did it again, as always, Ol' Man Keith: worked all four Jumble words and solution into your brief verse. So, were you doing 60 in age or in driving? Either way, delightful.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Just looked at your comment, CanadianEh!, and there they were, all Jumbles and solution too--and you even added a gecko! Great job,
And thank you for your very kind comment on my verse too, OMK.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Misty: Hard to answer your question in the first person, as I no longer drive, and it's been more than a generation since I've seen sixty!
ReplyDeleteMy speaker must be pure fiction.
That's doubly important for my second ending. 'Cuz if that were real, we'd have to call him out for shame & danger. Tsk!
But it's just a poem; maybe a blues lyric.
I hope it brought you a smile.

Thanks OMK and Misty. I am rather enjoying thinking up a paragraph using the Jumble words plus the Wordle word.
ReplyDeleteBut I’m afraid I will have to stick to prose, although I do enjoy your poetry.
I am currently sitting out on my patio enjoying the sun. Beautiful day!
One of these days I'll figure out how to do Wordle, and then I'll join you and Keith in that too. If I have a bit of quiet time down the road, I'll ask you for some help, CanadianEh!
