Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(Nick thought diplomatic action might win her over. But she call’d his tactics “smoothie moves,” and they only turned her off.
She thought them signs of oiliness.)
”Tact? Forget Her!”
Nick courted her, though
she cared little for him. All
else was a fable.

"Though I was glad you'd begun a program", said Nora at the table
ReplyDelete"That it could result in such a marvelous change I deemed a fable
Then again, little did I think when you'd begun to court Chet
That you two would get your act together. I surely missed my bet"
WC
I'm glad Chet had better luck with his antics re. Lois than poor Nick
ReplyDeleteNow Nora's comments are just an introduction I'm sure to a greater pronouncement
Methinks she's waiting for Charles

At the karaoke bar, the mic
ReplyDeleteIt naturally goes back each night,
To give each patron
A chance to weigh in,
And prove their singing is a fright!

WC ~ Looks like Nora had little in the way of positive expectations for Lois, on her own, or for Lois & Chet as a team.
ReplyDeleteAnd today’s installment makes me wonder how solid a pair Nora & Charles are. I thought they were a “given.”
But maybe not….

My W-starter was my usual.
ReplyDeleteMy 2nd tier merely added 2 of the most popular consonants—and Bingo.

Tact - No Never!
ReplyDeleteFabled throughout the realm
Were the court jesters’ antics.
Though there was no TikTalking
Little was beyond their mocking.
Privilege marked by cap, bells, and motley shirt,
They thrived as actors gathering the dirt.
OMK- we went in a similar direction with the title, but I took a different meaning than you and WC with the C word.
ReplyDeletePoor Nick.
Good work on the W.
WC- promising update for Chet.
Owen- is that the W well-hidden in lines 1 and 2?
You got it - BACKwards!
ReplyDeleteIngenius
DeleteSpeaking of jesters and bells
ReplyDeleteNow the Saxon yeomen were a peculiar pair
Wamba the jester with bells on cap and nary a care
And Garth the swineherd of the surly mien
Hoping for Saxon seccession and a new King come again
(From my Ivanhoe saga)

"Courtship"
ReplyDeleteSam thought it would be a sport
the pretty waitress to court.
So when she came to his table
he started to tell her a fable.
Then when he wrote her a friendly letter,
she acted like she wanted to get together.
So one night, though in rainy weather,
he told her he wanted to wed her.
At first, a little she tarried,
but a year later they got married.
"These are but wild and whirling words, my lord!"
ReplyDeleteSam sure lucked out, Misty.
ReplyDeleteHe didn’t invest much in wooing his waitress.
A fable, a letter, then he waited for rain…
Oh—wait!
Maybe she was the lucky one.
Hard to tell.

We take the J-words and try to control them, to make “sense” of them. They narrow our options, controlling us in turn. In the end, after a few somersaults, it’s a compromise.
ReplyDeleteWooHoo!
We’re lucky if we don’t have regrets.

Thank you for your delightful verses, Ol' Man Keith and Wilbur and CanadianEh! and Owen--so much clever poetry today. Terrific--many thanks, again!
