FLN, Wilbur ~ I’m afraid I didn’t quite understand your reference to your Wordle no-E opening.
ReplyDeleteBut I enjoyed reading your latest Chet/Lois poem.
Their dialogue flows easily. They’re lucky to be sharing so many private gags.
I wasn’t sure, though, whether your last line was sarcastic or not.

Today’s Jumble haiku:
Here’s a Bunyan-like toast (with an Irish twist), a drunken salute,
or a veritable…
”Crock Pledge!”
A hubcap serves as
goblet for the giant in
khaki: “Cheers! slรกinte!”
~ OMK
Another head-scratcher! My usual starter got me nothing!
ReplyDeleteI see FLN that WC got it in two tries. Well done!

Send in the Clowns - in Khaki
ReplyDeleteThe cartoon gave a different slant
To military life.
Mess was served on a hubcap,
With ale in a goblet.
No wonder the army can’t
Walk in lockstep!
WC- great update on Chet and Lois last night. I love their AA date!
ReplyDeleteOMK- re Wordle, I think WC refrains from using an E in his first guess. OTOH, I nearly always use it; my starter is usually either vowel-rich like ADIEU, or commonly-used letters as in STARE (or STEAR), BEAST, BEAST, ROAST, or MEANT. Today my first guess was useless (other than eliminating five letters), and second was not much better.
I like to vary my starter, sometimes using a j-word. I avoid the E so I can use it on #2.
ReplyDeleteIronically, the solution was virtually the only word which could fit.

"Savings"
ReplyDeleteSusan's income had become scant,
obliging her to adopt a new slant.
Although she considered them tacky,
she now wore clothes made from khaki.
To avoid getting a new hubcap
she stayed near her home on the map,
shopping only on her block,
and with few valuables to lock.
These steps helped to ease her debt,
and so she celebrated with cheap wine
drunk from an old and cracked goblet.
ReplyDeleteFLN, Misty ~ I believe you missed my Wordle reminder yesterday. (Shall we just forget Tuesday’s hint?)
Anyway, here’s Thursday’s…
Wordle 432 Hint: One vowel, one syllable; someone to be found at children’s parties— or in horror movies
Par = 3

Wise Susan, her financial plight spelled out by Misty…
ReplyDeleteClearly wise now, living within her means!
Knowing Misty’s usual wont, another verse or two should find Susan fully recovered—and coming out ahead! (Maybe the “old and cracked goblet” will turn out to be a rare antique, worth a fortune—to a billionaire, a charming fellow, who…)
CanadianEh! ~ A funny poem! I just hope that army is not ours. Or yours!
Thanks for the explanations re. Wordle. The strategies are fascinating.
~ OMK
OMK, I had to look back at 'my last line' . No, like many couples I've met in the halls , being at AA together is the cherry on the sundae..
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wilbur.
ReplyDeleteI had to ask, because (a) they were cutting out early and (b) most meetings that include several presentations tend to degenerate into blather upon blather...
But I take your word, that AAs are different.
~ OMK
Woohoo! Woohoo! Thanks for your helpful hint, Ol' Man Keith, I once again was able to get today's Wordle in just one try:
ReplyDeleteWordle 432 1/6
๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
Thank you so much. This is always a great gift for starting me off on a great morning.
Hmm. Good for you, Misty!
ReplyDeleteBut now I must consider whether my hints are too revealing. What do you think?
And shall we just write off Tuesday?
~ OMK
Yes, I'm afraid I don't remember Tuesday, but been having a busy week, so it probably just slipped by, OMK. But I love your clues, and I don't mind them being a bit revealing. I could have thought of other Wordle possibilities that might have left me struggling a bit more, but was so excited when it turned out to be right.
ReplyDeleteTuesday's W was WOVEN.
ReplyDeleteI was just curious as to what you thought of that hint. I gave it Par 4, a high level of difficulty.
I pondered over how much to tell you.
~ OMK
OMK, I had to think about who or what could be found at children's parties (not that I've been to one in decades) for today's Wordle answer.
ReplyDeleteI thought of CAKES, but that's not a person. Then BAKER, but that has two vowels, not one. Then AUNTS, but that's two persons, not one, and still has two vowels; UNCLE? No, again, two syllables, two vowels. GRAMPS, one syllable, one vowel, but one too many letters. And so it went until I got the solution. Woohoo!
OMK, Unquestionably those who are 1. New to AA, 2. Are in the VIPER state ie. DeNile, 3. Haven't completed Step 1...
ReplyDeleteThey often use "blather" to describe what they hear at meetings.
But...
Under the "lash of alcohol" many come to listen closely.
Perhaps Chet and Lois can explain furthur.
