Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(Sometimes you have to try & try again.)
”Ho! No Win There”
Rotate the weight to
hoist the claw, lift the onion
dome & grab the prize.
~ OMK
Nothing original. I'm blocked by memory of a poem I learned in childhood:
ReplyDelete'Twas in a restaurant that they met,
Romeo and Juliet.
He had no cash to pay the debt,
So Rome-owed what Juli-et.

I moved from my usual flower to a paper craft to find the hidden treasure. Lucky second guess.

ReplyDeleteHint to Win Air
The cache of onions reeked
Tears from eyelids leaked;
Hoisted to record its weight
Produce shelves were its fate;
Rotated, dumped to 5 lb. bags
Labelled, tied with barcode tags.
Hold your nose to breathe.
Owen- I see that rhyme to the Wordle. Cute play on the Shakespeare names.
ReplyDeleteOMK- it was difficult to get a true Spooner today, and we went in different directions. Your game with its dome, claw, and onion prize (I presume) is certainly original. Your title makes it sound impossible to get a prize?
"Sky High"
ReplyDeleteThe kids made a balloon
in the shape of an onion,
hoping to send it over the moon
while singing a happy tune.
Filled with air it had no weight,
easy to hoist and to rotate,
and so they made a date
to launch it into the air.
It all went off without a mess,
and the onion balloon project
was a great success.
Misty- what a lovely creation! Those happy children working on such a fun project and with such success. At least an onion-shaped balloon doesn’t reek.
ReplyDeleteWC- we tied on W. I was close on guess two, but always forget that we can have duplicate letters.
No, CEh! my title only says there’s been no success so far. (That’s why the backstory urges “try & try again.”)
ReplyDeleteThe haiku itself describes a victory!
Are you familiar with those arcade prize games? —the kind where you turn a knob to control a metal claw that you can lower and lift when you’ve clamped on a doll or some other goodie piled up on the inside?
You can use the claw to push things around in order to select the prize you want. But your time is limited, so you need to work fast.
My title wasn’t meant to be a Spooner, but to play with the phonemes in a random way.
Your own poem is fun, imagining the hapless plight of a typical cache of onions being prepped for the market. Its true fate is yet unknown. Let’s hope it goes to a good home.
Misty ~ Your onion balloon may have been influenced by the headlines. Its scale is sure to be smaller than “approximately three buses,” but our defensive jets have been taking on smaller and smaller UFOs these days.
Let’s hope the fate of your onion-crafted balloon is luckier than to be shot down off the Carolina coast!
~ OMK
Aha, OMK, now I understand more clearly. I was not familiar with that type of arcade game with the claw. Now I can envision your haiku!
ReplyDeleteMy husband would like some of those onions to be made into French Onion Soup!
