Today’s Jumble haiku:
Isn’t it jaw-dropping to realize that jailers read prisoners’ correspondence?!

”No Secrets”

The guard was privy
to the convict’s mail: Spike was
now pardon-worthy!
~ OMK

Peel those Spuds

Pardon my disbelief!
Not being privy to the scientific studies,
I refuse to believe that the touted parer
Is worthy of that jaw-dropping price!
It doesn’t even have a finger guard.

Wilbur Charles said...

I actually misspelled #2 reversing the vowels. I needed the A for the riddle-solution

My Wordle post was FLN. C-eh, I enjoyed PARSING out your solve. Did you really hold back E until #3?

WC

Both the haiku and free verse were excellent today.

Very bright of you, CanadianEh! to turn the J-words into an imagined response to an HSN endorsement.
That never would have occurred to me.
And a negative one, at that…
~ OMK

CanadianEh! said...

WC- yes I saw your post FLN. This was a hard one. I didn’t try the E until guess 4!

OMK- I was thinking about going the royal route again with that combo of words, but I was tiring of that theme. And how to include the Wordle knife in that?? It would need to be a Snee LOL.
Yes, no privacy in jail.

"Learn from Urn"

Doris got fined for dropping
an expensive urn while shopping.
The product ended up marred,
according to the guard.

Doris apologized and asked for a pardon
which was granted by the warden.
She bought the urn which caused the flaw
that drew her in trouble with the law.

At home she noticed the urn was dirty,
more like a privy, and quite unworthy.

CanadianEh! said...

Oh, Misty has posted right after me.
LOL, she took privy in a whole different direction! I had forgotten that use of the word. Poor Doris. I hope that urn did not cost too much. Thanks for my smile of the day.

Misty said...

Looks like we both got ourselves caught up in prison, verbally, this morning, Ol' Man Keith, although Doris had an easier time of it than Spike did.

Yes, you are much more privy to potato peeling than I am, CanadianEh!. The best I can do is heat those IDAHOAN MASHED POTATOES up in the microwave. So why does a parer have to have a finger guard? You can see how I'm not much of a cook.

Looking forward to your poem, Wilbur--or, if not today, give Lois and Chet my love.

Misty said...

Woohoo! Woohoo! Ol/ Man Keith! Your Wordle clue did it for me again today, got it in just one try:

Wordle 454 1/6

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Ol' Man Keith said...

I dunno, Misty, who had a worse time of it--Spike, who is about to be pardoned, or your Doris, who seems to have done some time just for dropping that *#@! urn!

Anyway, they are both free now.

My wife went in for knee surgery this morning. I just got a call from the surgeon saying all went well! Just waiting for the next call before we go to pick her up...
~ OMK

Misty said...

I will pray that your wife's knee surgery will have a quick and easy recovery, Keith.
Have a good and safe weekend coming up.

CanadianEh! said...

OMK- glad the surgery went well. Best wishes for a good recovery for your wife.

Misty- I was thinking along the lines of a mandolin which can be very dangerous without a guard.

Wilbur Charles said...

[Lois continues her story]

There were many highs, many lows, many rehab stays
Finally, four years ago I heard the words, "Hi there, how's your day?"
No harsh interregation, I let my guard down for once, no strife
"Call me", she said, "I'm privy to a new and better way of life.

Teeth chattering, engulfed by fear, with no where else to go
I was met with smiles, invited to sit and handed a cup of Joe
The warmth, the joy was infectious, jaw dropping I'd even say
It was like being given a pardon and a door to a brand new way

WC

Wilbur Charles said...

Note, as usual I've added Saturday's J's and riddle-solution so Misty you can hunt for the first and imagine the second

Let me know if you find them

WC

Wilbur Charles said...

How about a poem:
"The Search for Saturday "

Wilbur Charles said...

Re. My disastrous wordle
After three tries I had PA?ER. I tried G,V and Y. C, L,P and of course R were still on the table.

I should have, as noted earlier, used four of them in GRAVY. Next time, I tend to rush

WC

Ps, I'm inching my way through Saturday. With all the obscurity they double down with obscure pop-cul and Spanish

Wilbur Charles said...

Big comeback right out of the -oops- anywayWordle 455 3/6

Back to my usual strategy on #1

Ol' Man Keith said...

I did not know the other meaning of a "mandolin" until now, CEh!. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. It looks like a grater on a slant, but with a smooth slicing surface rather than the many sharp puckers of a grater.

WC ~ Lois' memory of that first encounter is appealing. I assume that was her initial contact with an AA representative.
I wonder if they are always that easy and relaxed. Is the style taught to those who want to be "sponsors"?
