ReplyDeleteToday’s Jumble haiku:
(They say bears can protect themselves from wasps by slapping on a thick coat of moistened soil.
When a stinger is pointed at an ursine boy, “O …)
…Lad, Leave in Mud!”
Pandas on vigils
impede yellow jackets that
would steal their honey.

Wow! Another two guess solve!

Lad Lion Move
ReplyDeleteA long vigil at the zoo -
Animals with their varied sounds,
Black and white panda, rare yellow parrot too.
Don’t impede the young lion on his rounds,
Looking for a date,
Hoping to mate.
After all, it’s Valentines Day!
Whew! I thought I might be censored by the blog AI for my R rated poem today!
ReplyDeleteOMK- you are adept at getting all the J words into a short pithy haiku. I can just imagine those muddy pandas.
Making a Spooner out of the J answer left me with a conundrum - change the first letter but it doesn’t rhyme or try to rhyme like you did. Another example of the crazy English language (Esperanto anyone?)
"Family Affection"
ReplyDeleteNothing could impede
the couple's heartfelt need
to give their panda love
with the company of a dove.
It took a bit of a vigil
the animals' needs to fill
feeding them yellow jello,
which gave them both a thrill.
It was lucky for these pets
that their parents were both vets.
Misty- Yes, those pets were lucky to have those vets as parents. I smiled at the thought of a panda with a dove. And that thrilling yellow jello! (Reminded me of that Mellow Yellow song!).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs.
Quite rightly, CEh!
ReplyDeleteI was reminded of same song….
Especially because of its nonsense values. Misty’s yellow jello seems to be the vet’s substitute for the pandas’ dove love.
I shouldn’t have thought so, but what do we readers know? The poet hath spoken, and it all rhymes.
In your own zoo, the animals seem well aware of Valentine’s Day—and hope to party-down before midnight. Animal orgies are heating up! Better have some of the yellow stuff ready in case anybody is left out.
My own contribution is pretty tame. The yellow is honey, and pandas and wasps merely fight over it.

Congratulations on your two-stroke W, CanadianEh!
ReplyDeleteGetting a true Spoonerism is rare. Sometimes I need to settle for a lowly rhyme instead. Or an almost-rhyme like yours. Not bad, but then it needs to make sense.
Another approach is what I tried today, picking up phonemes that occur within the syllables of the target words, not just the beginnings of words.

I thought it was cute that your panda was a little tougher than mine and protected his honey, Ol' Man Keith. Oh, wait, since they were a group of pandas, I guess their honey was part of their groceries, not their Valentine sweethearts. Still, I hope they had a sweet day.
ReplyDeleteAnd then it was actually nice to arrive at your zoo, CanadianEh!, and find all your critters having a lovely time and perfectly happy to pursue romance. I feed the birds in my back patio every day, and was hoping they might have a little party this morning. But they were just busy pecking away and totally ignoring each other. And my sixty-or-seventy year old tortoise Gophie is still in winter hibernation, sleeping in her corner in her big triangular structure, without moving for weeks. At least I hope that's what it is, and that she hasn't gone up into the heavens to join some turtle Valentine party in the sky.
Anyway, have a happy day, everybody, humans and wildlife and even rodents and insects included.
