“Lurking Pass”
When swifts eat larva,
their skinnys get fat, and the
grouch goes all jolly.

ReplyDeleteDon’t be a grouch,
Enjoy science class.
Get off your couch,
And stop playing poker.
Nature is wonderful -
Larva on the twig, swift on the wing.
Get the skinny by working at it.
LOL OMK- we both made swift a bird ! I loved your haiku, and your title riff on the Jumble answer.
ReplyDeleteBoth my Wordle and poem posts seem to be surviving today.
I did change my “rhymer with pass” to a “rhymer with grouch” to avoid any censorship by AI!

C-eh, could you try posting the mystery text that AI doesn't like but using * within nouns and adjectives, verbs etc to get around the Kraken
"Gift Lift"
ReplyDeleteGary was a bit of a grouch
who spent most of his time on the couch
until a friend gave him a gift:
a puppy who was lively and swift.
Gary worried because he was skinny
and hoped he could make him less mini.
It all worked, and as time did pass
the pup turned into a dog, first class.
So Gary's hard work in the end
gave him his very best friend.
(PS: no, Gary never fed him any larva)
OK, WC. I tried a post with some words” and it disappeared.
ReplyDeleteBut I see you have instructions as w**d (that slang for cann**is might be the culprit, even though I was not using that meaning.
Saved this till after CEh! & WC are done.

Many thanks. I'm not good at Wordles and it would have taken me much longer than Wilbur or CE. So you've just made my morning!
CanadianEh! ~ I enjoyed your paean to science & nature. Good job with the W. I’m glad you didn’t run afoul of the censor.
ReplyDeleteI’m not sure I understand your references to the steps you took to evade its notice, but I guess I will try putting it from my mind unless it strikes again.
It’s all in fun anyway. Right?!

Aha! You beat me by one, Misty!
ReplyDeleteI tried going old-fashioned with my first guess, so it took me two strokes to get there.
But I’m happy to be of service. We aim to please!
Your poem gave me some chuckles. I especially enjoyed Gary’s wanting to “make him less mini,”
and how he promoted him to a “dog, first class.”

Thanks for the kind response to my poem, OMK. I liked yours too, and you even managed to work LARVA into it, something I couldn't figure out how to do. But I had to look up SWIFT, a word I didn't immediately relate to an animal. Learned it's a high-flying bird, so it may very well have enjoyed a LARVA for lunch.
ReplyDeleteI never paid attention before to the listing at the bottom left of this page for "Pageviews past 30 days." As I type, the current number is 3,394, which I presume is the tally of visitors to this site in the preceding month.
ReplyDeleteWhen Owen asked me recently to separate my Wordle and Jumble posts, I tried to understand why. One of the possible reasons that crossed my mine was that if "Pageviews" are counted according to individual postings, my separated numbers would help to increase the count.
When I started to watch the count yesterday, it started to go up for an hour or so; THEN it plunged over 100.
At 1:13 pm PDT, it was 3,549, but at 6:11 pm, it was only 3,434.
Today, as you can see, it has dropped even more.
I can understand how it can drop from one day to the next--so long as the "past 30 days" are freshly tallied each day.
But why would it go down during a given day?
Could it be the "30 days"are calculated to the exact minute?
Anyway, maybe Owen can enlighten us. And also give us an idea of the importance of counting pageviews at all.
