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.
“Purging (poundage) Ingen(iously)”
ReplyDeleteI’m just saying: skip
the bench press. Weight reduction
needs a daily graph.

"Reformation"
ReplyDeleteThe judge on the bench
was a caring mensch
who did not refuse
Rick's sentence to reduce.
Rick now works on a staff
constructing a graph
for a new search engine
that a prize did win.
To reform, he did search
and visited a church
where a mindful saying
got him praying.
Rick now has a kind wife
and a wonderful life.
And so on a bench in the park Chet and Lois graphed their life
ReplyDeleteFrom a seedy bar reduced to an existence full of misery and strife
The engine of his recovery was the Program and the message of hope
The search was over, no more saying 'Can't', but rather 'Whatever, we can cope"
WC
Wow Misty, , the graph of Rick's recovery is similar to Chet's
ReplyDeleteYes, graphing out weight loss is wise but I prefer the grocery diet.
Weigh in at Winn Dixie and a week later weigh out at Publix. Zero actual gain = 5 lbs lost

I really miss Sandy. If you're out there I hope you're keeping up with the latest C&L news.
ReplyDeleteAnd today's riddle-solution seemed to be right up your alley: ie. A salty, puissant recap
Stay well, love from the J-gang. Canda is a great addition but you're irreplaceable
WC
Speaking of... Canada-eh, I loved your Short and sweet J-poem, fln
DeleteIn the end, it seems
ReplyDeleteMisty’s Rick and Wilbur’s Chet
have much in common.
~ OMK
Ol' Man Keith, you and Wilburare so right--Rick and Chet do have much in common, don't they?
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you got all 4 Jumble words into your clever weight loss verse, OMK.
Wilbur, I too miss Sandy. Wish she's come back for a visit.
I recognizes that one word and remembered this
ReplyDeleteSwisher Mack he was called, he had an eagle eye
But he warmed the BENCH like Wilbur and here's the reason why
Though sturdy of build Jimmy was stuck to that seat
For truth be told, Swish was born with two left feet
He could reach above the rim of that we needn't quibble
But alas,with pellet in hand, Swisher just could not dribble
But he wasn't bothered by absence from the starting lineup
His greeting to one and all was "Hey dude, what's up"
WC
His famous quote came at half time after a lambasting from the coach
Delete"Any oranges, today?"
Someone used to bring oranges to suck on
Knock-knock
ReplyDeleteWho's there?
Orange.
Knock-knock
Who's there?
Orange.
Knock-knock
Who's there?
Banana. Orange you glad I didn't say orange?
Bu' Nana said to wake her up!
ReplyDeleteAin't she in there?
Hullo!
~ OMK
Right off the bottom of the corny joke dustbin, Owen. LOL
ReplyDeleteYep, that "Where da oranges?" remark was priceless and it even hot old Fred, the coach to chuckle.
Well, he was a hothead alright
DeleteFLN, Sorry, CanadianEh! ~
ReplyDeleteI regret being so late to post this, but I just now re-read your poem of yesterday--
and want you to know I enjoyed it too.
You created a more sympathetic figure than the Jumble cartoon portrayed.
In changing their PJ-wearing adult to a nine-year old, you moved me to commiserate (behind my chuckle).

I'm waiting for C-eh to retell the Georgia Sweet TEA story. Can't get too many stories as you've noticed.
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell the pugel stick story?
WC
Had company all afternoon and may not be able to respond until later tonight or tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMy apology--but my heart is with you all.
Late to the party, and no poetry today. I’m busy gardening!
ReplyDeleteBut I did do Wordle.

Thanks for the encouraging words about my PJ poem yesterday.
And just for WC, the Sweet Tea story:
“After a long day of travelling, DH and I chose to dine at a lovely restaurant in Georgia. When it came time to order a beverage, this Canadian ordered tea. Of course, I meant hot tea (preferably in a China pot and made with boiling water!). Minutes later, the waitress returned to ask if I wanted my tea sweet. I was a little surprised to be asked, but as I like sugar in my tea, I said yes, and off she went. And then the light dawned and I said to DH, “I think I am getting ice tea! I should have known better than to order tea in the USA (especially the southern states) and expect a Cuppa’”. And sure enough, my waitress was soon back with a tall refreshing glass of icy Sweet Tea. I must admit that it was good, but I still prefer a cup of hot tea, even on a warm day.
Actually, fe in McDonald's, to order an iced tea one merely says "One sweet tea"
ReplyDeleteThey may say "What size?"
McDonald's was charging 1.00 for large but Covid changed everything
For my business a convenient store must have brewed decaf and unsweetened ice tea.
Lately 7/11 and Rally have failed that test.
