  1. Today’s Jumble haiku:
    (In the early ‘60s, the new synthesizer was predicted to become a major sound provider for the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and several other British music makers.
    It would become ubiquitous throughout the U.K. music scene, so much so that the new sound was said to contain a…)

    Tinge of Lime

    This Moog’ll provide
    all the live English rock groups—
    none exempt, have faith!

  2. OK, I get it. The Moog was the synthesizer and lime refers to the limeys.

  4. Tenth of Lime

    Driven to succeed,
    The business mogul
    Extemporaneously bought Twitter,
    Forgetting the faithful employees
    Needed a living wage,
    Not daiquiris.

  5. I had to repost my Wordle result, but I finally got into the right seat.

    WC- I guessed two of the J words last night. Thanks for the Chet update.

    OMK- we went different ways trying to create a Spoonerism title. I tied my title to a drink.
    I managed to hide the Wordle and two of the J words (as did you).
    “This MOOG’ll provide” was great; plus reference to the other day’s scurvy, limey discussion.

  6. WC ~
    AND the title Spoons the solution.
    I am not sure you or CEh! got the embedment of the whole L-word in “live English”…

    You both managed the W today—ambitious!—while I grokked it from your hints. You brought me home, saving me miles of effort. Thank you!
    Nice poem, CEh! ~ Somehow I suspect a comic dig at Mr. Musk…
    Of course, I spotted the Spooner title right away, but I am still puzzled over the sense of it. Maybe that’s the amount of a lime to serve as a garnish to your cocktail?
    Burying the E-word within “Extemporaneously” gave me a smile; it reminds me of a Jeopardy category.

  7. "Blessed Boss"

    The mogul had faith in his crew
    and trusted them their job to do.
    They were tidy and never unkempt
    and did no responsibilities exempt.

    Living with them over the length of time
    he repeatedly did their praises chime.

  8. Welcome, Misty, on Thanksgiving Eve!
    Back to naked postings, I see.
    Well, it saves readers the search effort and probably makes more sense.
    It also fits neatly with the forthright, open nature of your mogul’s workplace climate—
    as he clearly runs a happy shop, with mutual trust & respect!

  9. OMK- you are correct that I did not see the full embedding in your “live English”. Good job.
    You are correct about my title - just a tenth of lime in that daiquiri!
    And I was quite proud of extemporaneously.

    Misty’s mogul is a much nicer boss than mine (and I knew Twitter would conjure up the strangely behaved Mr.
    Musk). Her mogul’s employees are blessed, and they respond appropriately by doing a great job for him.
    My mogul boss expects his crew to work extra hours for less pay. The occasional daiquiri with 1/10th lime will not convince them to stay (as we have seen).

    Misty- enjoy your Thanksgiving with your son and brother.
