ReplyDeleteTime again for my Sunday break,
and maybe be free
to make whoopee.
It’s my day to play—with everything jake.

"Perfect Pet"
ReplyDeleteThe lonely man of eighty
was badly in need of a matey.
So his friends, for a very small fee,
bought him a hybrid osprey.
The old man was no longer alone,
and one day in his yard in the rain,
he slipped and was sideways thrown
and his ankle did badly sprain.
Now the osprey did loudly squawk,
sounding like a hawk,
until neighbors saw the old man flinch
and helped him in a pinch.
The osprey was a downright perfect pet,
and the two are now so happy they met.
Sloppy measuring during boat construction can lead to disaster.
ReplyDeleteA “dite” is a Maine measurement, somewhere between a smidge and a bit.
Round(ing) Dite Defect
The flying high bird, an osprey,
Saw the floundering ship that day.
The hold was filled with pirates’ gain,
Pieces of eight from the throne of Spain.
Captain Jack Sparrow was at the helm,
But even he flinched at the broken mast.
A building flaw their fate had cast
“Aye Matey, we are overwhelmed.”
OMK- enjoy your day off! WooHoo whoopee, if I may steal a Mistyism!
ReplyDeleteMisty- How surprising that an osprey would turn out to be a Perfect Pet. But he was just what was needed to squawk for help. (The old man might need our splint from the other day after his sprain.). And you included the Wordle!! Bravo.
WC- yes I hesitated over the Wordle. I wonder if it was one of the original words, as the inventor was Welsh and might have chosen some words with a British flavour.
I love the way you have your titles play with the Jumble solutions, CanadianEh!--especially brilliant today. And then you played with so many other words--(hybrid/high bird), (throne/thrown)(sprain/Spain)-- and neat that you brought Captain Jack Sparrow into the bird theme too. Not sure the osprey liked that feather-pillow cartoon, though.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Woohoo! For the first time ever, ever, ever, I got a Wordle on my first try. I can't take total credit for this because it was your indication that I had put the W into my verse, CanadianEh!, and your reference to your pals, Wilbur, that hinted to me about a possible solution, which turned out to be correct! Woohoo! Thank you, thank you, thank you, both--you've made my day!

Misty- what a coincidence that you had the Wordle in your poem without even knowing it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words on my offering. I have been trying to follow OZK’s use of Spoonerisms for my title. Sometimes I am more successful than others. Today was a bit of a stretch again.
