Ironically a perfect hint would be "The immortal Lefty" but that sports ignorance I noted at CC is rampant here
And of course as opposed to "insult " the various CC folk take great pride in it
An example of a Perfect intended insult being in fact a tremendous compliment:
Upon looking at Betsy's picture on Mt desk a Thune said
"How does someone like you marry such a beautiful woman"
* Old slang for A-Hole
Feeling Groovy
ReplyDeleteHeaven forbid
That I should try to fathom
Why some people find it
So hard to choose
between the tedium of rural life
Or the thankless havoc of the city.
Perhaps they cannot see
The forest for the trees.
Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(The daily routine in Haddam, a town in Middlesex County, CT, is quite dull.
To properly honor the value of boredom in our lives, we dedicate this piece…)
“Fair to Haddam”
We thank the heavens
for tedium. When havoc’s done,
it forbids fresh stress.
~ OMK
Wise words today, CanadianEh!
ReplyDeleteWe address a similar theme, my take being that you’re likely to find them both
wherever you may live.
~ OMK
Yes OMK, although we hate to admit it, there can be havoc in both rural and urban areas. It may be more hidden in the rural.
ReplyDeleteAre you familiar with the town of Haddam (I LIUed to check that it existed!)? Or did you find the name to form your title- a Spoonerism I think?
Did you note that I camouflaged the Wordle today?!
"Family Friends"
ReplyDeleteWe all need to thank Frank
for avoiding a nasty prank.
During days of summer tedium
he began to consult a medium
who predicted a future of havoc
which gave Frank a hard and bad shock.
Then, to his surprise, his wife had a kid
and did further consultation forbid.
This made frank fathom that his best bet
was to make his wife his wisest prophet.
Glad you got here in good time Misty. Trust you will not have anymore than a sore arm tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWell, Frank was warned of havoc to come, and a kid can certainly case that. I LOLed at “his wife . . . Did further consultation forbid “. That can be interpreted several ways!
I wondered for a moment what a “frank fathom” was (second-last line), but soon realized that the f did not get capitalized.
My title today is Spooner-ish, CEh!
ReplyDeleteNot a neat one, as I had to substitute a "d" phoneme for the original "th," and the first short word uses a different vowel.
A true Spoonerism needs no excuses. My title yesterday made me proud.
I lived four or five years, on and off, in Connecticut. I probably drove through Haddam any number of times, but didn't remember it. I looked it up to find the right-sounding name.
And yes, I thought your Wordle disguise very neat. I didn't need to do it today, but could triangulate the answer from your and WC's clues.
~ OMK
Misty ~ I enjoyed your "Family Friends," followed Frank as he gave up pranks (?) and consulted a medium--and heard myself laughing aloud when "to his surprise, his wife had a kid...."
ReplyDeleteI guess that medium didn't have much on the ball.
Or maybe his "friends" did.
~ OMK
WC- I LIUed to find that immortal lefty, as he was unknown to me.
ReplyDeleteMy sports knowledge is patchy (baseball and American football are weak, hockey is stronger). MARIO Lemieux was no problem in the CW today.
Ol Man Keith, I was sure I had gotten yesterday's spoonerism when I joked that it wasn't in "plain sight." Even CanadianEh! referred to that phrase. But if that wasn't it, I'm sorry I missed it. It may be HARDer for me to FATHOM things, than it is for other folks.
ReplyDeleteBut thank you so much for you kind comments about my verse. And your own haiku was delightful, as always. Yes, TEDIUM sure is a blessing after we've been through some HAVOC.
Tell us more about that "immortal lefty," Wilbur-- you've got me curious now.
