ReplyDeleteToday’s Jumble haiku:
(A MOTORING PIC-NICK!
A do-it-yourself outing
in the days when living-off-the-land
meant revving the engine, speeding to the country,
hunting deer, & downing your own moonshine
to truly …)
”Catch a Klatch”
(in the woods.)
Burn octane, forage
for food, and scarf it all down.
Psst! ~ Un-hitch those belts!

Yes OMK, I started with that vowel-rich word because it was in today’s CW, and it was a great starter. I got my coif for the day done in no time (once I got out of the sink!). I see FLN that WC’s starter voice was not as good.
Opportunity Knock Ain’t it?
ReplyDeleteInto her scarf,
She hitched up her braid.
To forage in the woods
She ran off with a dash.
But a change in fortune was made
When she found a stash of cash.
Darn auto- correct. I meant WC’s starter word.
ReplyDeleteOMK- I liked your haiku (and back story . . . and title).
Your folks were unhitching while my lass was hitching. I just hope none of the foragers found and ate any poisonous mushrooms!
"Deft Theft"
ReplyDeleteWearing a scarf, the burglar did forage
the hidden materials kept in storage.
He wanted to be rich
but needed some octane
when he ran into a hitch
that gave him some pain.
But in the end, his work was a smash
when he found that great stash of cash.
"Abracadabra," I declare!
ReplyDeleteAnd suddenly it isn't there!
It isn't here,
It's nowheres near,
In fact it was never anywhere!
The petro-hydrocarbon was surely the outlier today, and, CEh! You clearly (or not so) went to some lengths to capture it in your title!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, and thanks for your reaction to my picnic adventure! Your lass lucked out in her time in the woods. I’m sure she was smart about wearing something colorful, as I know my guys are not the most careful hunters!
Misty ~ Your run of couplets took us to a different place. A U-Haul locker, perhaps?
Was the O-word used as an accelerant? Was the burglar also an arsonist, destroying non-lucrative findings to cover his tracks?
Or, more benignly, was he gunning his engine to race from one location to the next?
Anyway, he got a time-honored lesson: Crime Does Pay.

Good thing, Owen, we knew what to look for,
ReplyDeleteas you used a brilliant bit of magic to conceal it.
Bravo, Maestro!
(Damn’d, elusive, &c….)
~ OMK
A braid-drain, perhaps, CEh!?
ReplyDelete~ OMK
Misty- great offering today (with the Crime Does Pay moral that OMK stated). Your burglar wore a scarf instead of a mask; he must have been more worried about his hair being identified (red perhaps) than his face.
ReplyDeleteGood call OMK. I will remind the lass to wear her orange reflective vest. And yes, that title was a brainstorm result.
Re the drain: DH is always complaining about unclogging our tub drain from my thick hair.
Owen- I am still working on decoding your brilliant poem. No hints yet please.
Owen- I found the Wordle! Brilliantly hidden.
ReplyDeleteI hope there were no J words there, because I can’t see them.
You can almost hear Owen’s W, if you say it slowly enough.
ReplyDeleteAnd with a wizardly accent.
