ReplyDeleteRead Owen’s NEW messages, posted at the end of day Wednesday! He is alive and, presumably, well.
I was resorting to snail mail, trying to reach him. But he is inviting text messages & gives his number. Good for those who have smartphones (unlike me).

Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete“Not Bosh”
Gamble not with chicks
ere they hatch. (‘Tis sweet wisdom
not to sniff at this.)

My usual starter word was very helpful today. It kept me from going hither and yon.
Busy day- back later I hope.
"Forgetting Betting"
ReplyDeleteHarry a plan did hatch
about how to win a gamble.
But he couldn't find a match
and all he could do was ramble.
In the end he found a chum
who good prospects helped him sniff
and thanks to his pal's wisdom
he earnings became safe and stiff.
Yet his desire to gamble he did squash,
deciding his old plan was hogwash.
Kinda sad, Misty!
ReplyDeleteA very interesting arc for a short poem. Capsulized self-awareness.
Looks like Harry’s plan wasn’t so hot to begin with. But at least he had the smarts to figure it out on his own.
Not, as I take it, that the plan wasn’t working, but that his dedication to the gambling life wasn’t all he reckoned it would be.
(And maybe he was tiring of his objects & verbs reversing?)
I believe this is a most unusual theme for you. I appreciate its essential wisdom, and I hope to see you explore this more.

Very sharp on your Wordle, CanadianEh!
ReplyDeleteI have been skipping them.
I’m reading your 2nd sentence as a hint. I will mull it & maybe give it a shot.
~ OMK
OMK, was that peep, peep chicks or another kind. If the former one certainly doesn't want to count them to soon
ReplyDeleteAll in all a neat haiku.
Misty, lately we see joints and now another gambling addiction.
I don't see you frequenting those SEEDY places but if so did you ever run into Chet?

Dear Owen, we miss you and wish you could visit us. Will say a prayer at Thanksgiving on your behalf, with thanks for the good care you are receiving. Will pray that you can get better glasses for your eyesight, and rejoin us back on the blog. Take good care of yourself and know we are rooting and praying for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, Ol' Man Keith. And your haiku was once again delightful, with the solution worked into your title, and all four J words right there, in a clever combination.
ReplyDeleteWilbur, I used to love to gamble when I was younger, and going to casinos was a real treat. But I never invested more than small sums that I didn't mind losing for the fun. No longer visit any seedy places, so haven't run into Chet. But if I do, I'll tell him you said to tell him Hello.
FLN, Wilbur, good to catch up with Chet & Lois.
ReplyDeleteI can certainly see how AA is central to their lives. Strikes me as very much like couples who meet in church, and keep up with church activities for the rest of their lives together. AA is certainly a sort of religion.
Thanks for explaining "Rebos."
And for giving us yet a fourth usage for DOMINO!
I'm grateful for your W clue too. It gave me pause, thinking time needed to come up with the right version of "THAR!"

Odour- Here, There and Everywhere
ReplyDeleteDon’t take a gamble,
It’s a big IF.
Wisdom says
Take a sniff.
Avoid the sty
Those hogs never wash
Close the hatch
By golly, by gosh!
I finally made it here.
ReplyDeleteOMK - Glad to see you got the Wordle in one with our clues.
Your haiku take on “don’t count your chicks” (LOL re WC’s other chicks!) was brilliant. Interesting title.(difficult to create a Spoonerism today)
WC- I echo OMK’s remarks about your fourth usage for Domino.
And today, we have gone in three different directions. OMK to the chicken coop, Misty to the casino, and myself to the pig sty.
Misty- I smiled at those “safe and stiff” earnings!
I was glad to see that post from Owen. We were worried.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have you check in this afternoon, CanadianEh!, and your surprising pigsty poem made me laugh. But I'm afraid I could handle sniffing in Ol' Man Keith's chicken coop a lot better than in your hog-sty!
ReplyDeleteThanks, CEh!
ReplyDelete~ for your hint leading to a one-shot win for me on Wordle!
And thank you for some sweet (?) rhymes with "Sniff/IF" and especially "wash" and "gosh."

When I saw your spelling of ODOR, CanadianEh! with the additional "U," my eyes mis-read it.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were going for ORDURE.
A bad ODOUR is bad enough, but that would have been much, much worse!
~ OMK
Misty- I’m glad I could bring a smile today.
ReplyDeleteOMK- you did well in deciphering the hints. I’m sure you noticed it in my title.
My rhymes were even making me laugh today. Such fun.
I knew someone would notice my Canadian spelling of odour. But Ordure might have been even better, and fit the root cause of that odour!
True, CEh!
ReplyDeleteYes, I saw the W in your title, but by then I had already committed—based on your “hither and yon” hint & WC’s “Moby Dick.”
I was kinda hoping mine would draw Misty in, but…
