ReplyDeleteToday’s Jumble haiku:
(Encourage holiday feasting! Make your appetite bold!
Eat! Drink! And…)
“Tap-it-More!”
When anyone gathers
to share mirth, be sure to out-
do your tummy’s girth.

A picador rides a caparisoned horse
ReplyDeleteA matador rides a cape
Together they try to stay the course
Against two thousand pounds of steak.
A picador carries a lance,
A matador, a sword.
A picador's lance makes the bull dance.
The matador's sword death affords.
Spectators gather for the spectacle,
To see anyone outdo pure rage.
Tummies turn with each pass, and gasp,
At the final twist of the blade!

Owen, you're at the top of your game. Your neck and neck with Joe Biden for comeback of the year award

"Courtship"
ReplyDeleteDanny wanted to outdo
his rival at the zoo.
They had gathered together to woo
a young worker who was new.
Danny bought her some treats for her tummy
and she enjoyed them and found them yummy.
They spent time together and had fun
and she liked him better than anyone.
She said you're my favorite matador,
and it's you I most like and adore.
Clever of Misty to hide Danny’s occupation until the final couplet.
ReplyDeleteIf a reader knows too soon that he’s a sexy, death-defying, balletic torrero, his rival doesn’t stand a chance.
Owen’s dazzling demonstration of the art of “grace under pressure” impresses us with knowledge & humor.
The sheer tonnage of weight on the hoof is good for more than a chuckle.
I join with Wilbur in saluting him. Felicidades a nuestro amigo.

Oops!
ReplyDeleteA revision! (in the spirit of haiku):
When anyone gathers
to share mirth, they must outdo
their tummy’s old girth.

She said "you're my favorite matador,"
ReplyDeleteAnd he remembered responded
"You're the a most winsome elf"
WC
OK, I get it, Wilbur...
ReplyDeleteShe's an elf!
An elf, & a winsome one at that.

OMK, your verse cracked me up this morning--very clever and funny rhyme!
ReplyDeleteVery moving but very sad verse, Owen, but beautifully rhymed and paced. You are still one of our best poets!
Wilbur, wish I could have joined you and OMK with a Wordle--but I have company coming in fifteen minutes and was busy with preps all day. Maybe tomorrow?
Misty ~ Thanks for the "crack-up." Hope you saw the second version!
ReplyDeleteHave a pleasant evening with your company!

CEh! ~ Last seen here yesterday @ 5:31--having a "Busy day."

Hi all, yes another busy day, helping an elderly relative navigate day surgery. All went well thankfully.
ReplyDeleteNo time again to contribute, but I did enjoy your offerings. And add my salute to Owen for that magnificent verse!
