Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(A Parliamentary speech by an ardent monarchist, arguing for the continuation of royal ceremonies…
He insists that the pageantry of the king’s trumpeters, with their uniforms & flags & badges, can win subjects over to the government’s sovereign authority—which cold, legalistic announcements often fail to do.)
“(A) Graahnd* Speaker”
The proud Orator
is aflame with his message:
“‘Legal’ ain’t ‘Regal’!”

[Letter to Misty from Lois]
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud that you've taken an interest in my progress vis a vis
My coming nuptials with Chet. As you know I love him to pieces
I can't wait to make it legal for I'm all aflame - there's nobody any cuter
And so smart! He was the lead speaker and he'd make a great orator.
My palms were sweating as I held the reading for the day
But it was all worth it in the end as I held his hand to pray*

Somehow blogger doesn’t like this comment, and deleted my Wordle post. I will try it separately.
ReplyDeleteGood work WC.
I eliminated most of the vowels with my first guess.
I like to be able to use an E after the first stab. Shorn of the key letters I too was short but no one can "disparage" the final result
ReplyDeleteWC
Did I track your progress accurately C-eh? My journey was different
"Family Feat"
ReplyDeleteThey asked the orator to restore
the values their family had begun to ignore.
For some time they had all been under a cloud
and wanted again to be strong and proud.
But he encouraged them to see a palmer
who might help them become much calmer.
And in good time the family shame and blame
died down and was no longer aflame.
So now the family did something legal, not regal,
and acquired some pets, including a beagle.
It turned out to be a clever deed
which let them a whole new future read.
Thank you, Ol' Man Keith, your Wordle hints are such a gift--helping me get today's solution in a single try:

Dear Lois,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to get this lovely message from you.
Yes, you and Chet are clearly blessed.
I am so happy for you and wish you a joyful honeymoon after your beautiful ceremony.
With warm affection,
Misty
Proud Cousin
ReplyDeleteHolly felt a sense of release,
To see that Lois was finally at peace.
One didn’t need to be a palm reader
To know that Chet’s heart was aflame
And his love was not a game.
She hoped they would make their union legal
And not scorn the wedding rites.
Holly wanted to be an orator under the celebration lights.
Yes WC, you were short an E, but I was not at the hairdresser, but rather at court giving an oath.
ReplyDeleteOMK- I love the plummy Brit!
Misty- how lovely that your family was able to overcome shame and blame,, and went into a new future with some new pets.
And wasn’t it nice to receive a personal letter from Lois. I am thrilled to hear her side of the story, as Holly was speaking about Chet. It seems they both are aflame and desiring to make it legal. Your reply is beautiful.
Misty ~. We seem to be on the same track today with that Legal/Regal rhyme, eh?
ReplyDeleteYes, I think the acquisition of "pets, including a Beagle" is excellent advice for ANY family (unless, of course, they are living in a coyote-attack zone).
Animal rescue/adoption is often a way to bring happiness to both people and their lucky pets.
I am not sure, however, how a "palmer" figures into the matter. I am only familiar with the term as used by Shakespeare, where it refers to a pilgrim to the Holy Land (maybe a beggar).
I am glad again that my Wordle hints are so helpful. I wonder if they are not TOO close to the target.
While I only pass along hints that have helped me, I often add a few extra clues--regarding type of word, vowel and syllable count, etc. I may try cutting back a bit, just to give you more to chew on.

CanadianEh! ~ Your verse today adds to the spirit of the coming celebration--not just of the Lois/Chet nuptial, but of the harmonizing all around which now includes Holly (and Misty in your separate post).
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it seems Holly is showing a sign of being bitten by the "acting bug"---or at least by the "public-speaking insect"--apparently itching to open up and speechify under the lights!
How does that work for you, Wilbur? Do you think Chet & Lois will ask Holly to orate? Maybe at the rehearsal dinner, or the Reception? Or both?
~ OMK
Please don't cut back on your Wordle hints, OMK. I was going to give up on Wordle altogether because it just frustrated me so much. And then your hints started to work and I began loving doing them. If you make it tougher to come up with the words, I will probably just drop Wordle again. But I've loved doing them in the last few weeks.
ReplyDeleteWhile on that subject, WC, what do you think of our chances--your Jumble page colleagues--of getting invited to the expanded wedding celebration?
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure the ladies would get a kick out of it. And we gents could keep them company.
Please check in with Chet & Lois. If their date is convenient for us, we could rent a limo for the Blog.
~ OMK
Beautiful verse, CanadianEh!--and for once with such an uplifting ending! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnd, OMK, let's just let that "palmer" be a pilgrim of sorts--not my favorite Jumble word. I should have cleverly turned it into "palm", like Wilbur, although Wilbur did kindly stay with the religious theme.
Speaking of PALMers... We met one in the tale of Ivanhoe from...
ReplyDelete7/2
fresh, leaky, herbal, cannon, "beachy" keen.
Wamba addressed the Abbott, "In a mile the road will veer,
You will need to turn left, no make that
a right you'll steer
My brains's a little leaky, as you can see I'm but a fool
I can juggle and entertain but I've never been to school"
"Enough with your fresh insolence, which way should it be?"
Said the surly knight. "Can it, is it right? Non ou oui?"
Said the Abbott, "He's been dallying in medicinal herbs
He garbles all his sentences, doesn't know nouns from verbs"
The keen sight of the Templar spotted a Palmer up the road.
"Wouldst thou guidest sir to Cedric the Saxon's abode?"
"It's good I'm here to help, my lord, for the castles hard to reach. See?
There are bogs and swales. Without me the outlook won't be peachy"
Then we see more of our Palmer as Isaac arrives
ReplyDelete7/5
stung, youth, likely, duplex, tied up (in) knots.
divide, septum, inform, attain, canyon, haggle, reigning champion.
---
Talk of the coming tournament kept the revelers occupied
Especially, who'd reign as champion: Norman or Saxon side
Sir Brian was the likely choice a hero despite his youth
That he'd attained glory and fame was the undisputed truth
But past glory telling was dispelled by the humble Palmer's tale
Of one of King Richard's knights who caused him an epic fail
This stung the haughty Templar and caused his septum to be displaced
By memories of the lists that day and how he'd been disgraced
But then Rowena asked "Inform me of the name
Of this knight and how he attained such fame "
Sir Brian was all tied up in knots, due to being perplexed
Much to the mirth of the rascal Wamba seeing him so vexed
Then Cedric chimed in "Lets not haggle in my hall
Though divided on the morrow today we're one for all"
"As the crusaders were united in the canyons of the East"
"Drink and be merry" said the Abbott Aymar, enjoy the feast"
But then before the minstrel could play for the ladies to dance
The Steward appeared: "A traveler desires entrance"
*****
7/6
wager, chess, stormy, tycoon, "sew" (the) story goes.
The traveler seeking shelter on such a stormy night
Was Isaac of York, of the race considered a blight
Because they were forever the Christians foes
Killed the Savior, they did, or so the story goes
[Said the Abbott]
"I'll wager this Jew is a proud and rich tycoon"
[Responded Cedric]
"Nevertheless, I'll not refuse shelter from the typhoon"
But nary the humblest of Cedric's guests would share a place
For all shunned poor Isaac, he of the despised race.
But the chess game drew to a close at the Palmer's beckoning
"Come, take my corner, though your pride will be your reckoning".
*****
Finally Isaac's generosity is rewarded as he finds out who this PALMER is
ReplyDelete7/10
acute, honey, coerce, jovial, carve a niche.
The incognito knight could not be coerced this day
Though the pouty Prince John liked to have his way
But the jovial Prior Aymer with honeyed phrases
Cajoled and flattered, singing princely praises.
Isaac from acute despair now let out a sigh of relief
For it was he who'd rashly put horse and armor in fief
But the Palmer turned knight had carved himself a niche
And the spoils of the lists would make the young man rich.
I think the original year of posting was 2020 since Chet met Lois in May, 2021

Wilbur/Archie will you please open up the October blog dates. I'm in a rehab facility with a lot of problems. No computer access, and I don't know how to update from my phone.
