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.
FLN, WC ~ Sorry I didn’t post (below) before your go at the Wordle.

“A Sleeper Pos-uh”
A po’try issue:
Whether to haggle ‘gainst rhyme,
or give up the floor.

His or Hers Poetry?
The couple started to haggle
The issue?
Who would sleep on the floor
And who would get the sofa.
He fielded the question
And took the floor.
It was a win-win situation!
"Solution"
ReplyDeleteThe couple did haggle more and more
about where to store things on the floor.
Quarreling over the issue
made her cry, and need a tissue.
But his solution in the end was cheaper,
when he suggested they buy a sleeper
they could use as a sofa in the day,
and this made all their worries go away.
To repay him some poetry she wrote,
which gave their love a whole new note.
Many thanks for the helpful Wordle hint, Ol' Man Keith--it worked:

Looks like the Jumble words put all three of us in the same direction this morning--Woohoo!
Great job all around, and, CanadianEh!, your solution was perfect, and even worked in one of the crossword clues!
“An Extra Freebie“
ReplyDeleteThe axe-murderer kept two sofas.
He slept on one and wooed on t’other.
His nighttime bed served family too
for visits from his mother or brother.
He kept them apart, his victims and fam,
lest seduction style kick in with kin.
He usually followed flirts with a chop,
then dined on prey with a grin on his chin.
His meals were confined to the sofa creepier,
while family snoozed on the sofa sleepier.

Glad to be of help, Misty. I figured my colleagues deserve the same hints.
ReplyDeleteYour poem gives us a tidy ending, even if a bit surprising.
I mean, isn’t it unusual to see the joint purchase of furniture lead to peace & harmony?
CanadianEh! ~ Was your next to last word LIEGE? Maybe LIENS?
Your verse is both clever & fun!
It served as an inspiration for my “Freebie”—two sofas obviously being better than one.
~ OMK
OMK - believe it or not, my second last guess was Diets.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the praise for my verse.
Your Freebie was macabre to say the least!
Yes Misty, we have similar themes. Understandable when you only have a few words to work with. But you do such lively rhyming!
You were eagle-eyed to see the CW clue that I incorporated (plus all the Jumble Words and Wordle). I was quite proud of myself today, if I may say so!
AH, Yes, CEh! ~ DIETS of course.
ReplyDeleteI could not think of a 5-letter _IE__ word beginning in "D."
Despite LIENS, I forgot the power of "S."

Here are my hints.
Can you read them and get it in one go, like I did?
It begins and ends with F. It has only one vowel.
