ReplyDeleteI didn’t expect that late night verse from you. But was happy to see it.
Your poem takes a realist’s view of gambling, even to the point of consulting a bot. If only we could do that IRL!!
But we usually lack the time or seclusion in that tiny space allowed before we commit to our hand or bet.

ReplyDeleteToday’s Jumble haiku:
(We have a patio that’s at a different elevation from our garden growing area.
I’m imagining this speaker purchased packets with various seeds to grow tall stalked flowers*—
and placed the pictures on stakes to enthuse growth.)
“Smell me! Huff it!!”
My patio’s higher
than the flora inspired
to flaunt garden styles.
~ OMK
____________
*P.S. The tall ones lack scent.
My late in the day comment last night is gone. Probably my own fault.
ReplyDeleteAnywho,CanadianEh!, the word of the day yesterday was TELESTICH.
Should you visit some brewery spots,
ReplyDeleteYou might note beer barrel dots.
That's where a bung
Should be sprung
To tap the keg for beery shots!
Reverend Dixon, the gifted speaker,
ReplyDeleteHad disciples, he was their leader.
His orations had style and pith,
Future themes that he would deal with.
His connections to God he'd flaunt
By foretelling news, as was his wont,
Revealed to him by higher powers
Who'd visit him at godly hours.
Still his mien was always humble
For a celebrated televangel.
On his patio, he granted audience
To seekers of coming odd events.
His followers saw to him keeping fit,
Determined he'd be a healthy prophet!
"Successful Business"
ReplyDeleteHer patio furniture had a great style
which did her business opponents rile.
On television she did her product flaunt
whose healthy profits her rivals did taunt.
So the company that opposed her
became her buyer
and her income is now
even higher.
Healthy, Fit Pro
ReplyDeleteWhatever your style,
You can be agile.
Dance the polka,
Enjoy patio yoga.
A trainer you may hire
If direction you require.
Get rid of the flab,
And flaunt those abs!
Combining prophecy with humility seems a winning formula for Owen’s Rev. Dixon.
ReplyDeleteIf only more RL televangelists could learn the latter part…
Good job, CEh!
Uh one & two, and away she flew!
Misty ~ There seems to be a TV theme today. Your furniture marketer won the sales competition with her popular over-the-air taste.
Maybe she’ll donate a patio set to Owen’s reverend, in exchange for predictions of future products to exploit.
Religion + Capitalism = historic winning team!
~ OMK
CanadianEh! ~
ReplyDeleteAh, you’ve chosen to use the patio for its workout potential. Fresh air, dancing, and stretching asanas can save us many trips to the gym.
Wisely, you are leaving TV out of the mixture. “Dance like nobody’s watching you!”
~ OMK
FLN- I see that WC posted today’s Wordle. He got to the dance faster than I did.
ReplyDeleteOwen- thanks for explaining your TELESTICH (I did not know that term)of yesterday’s W. I went back and found it.
Today, the W is so well hidden as to be not found at all. But I see the “beer barrel” reference.
And you went with “prophet” - I love it. I also LOLed that the higher powers visited him at godly hours! I see that the Rev.wants to keep fit (on his patio). Perhaps he can take advice on that from my poem.
OMK- I love the direction you took the title. With my gardener’s eye, I can just see those hollyhocks and sunflowers edging up into view from the patio as the growing season progresses. Maybe some climbing roses for the smell?
Yes, I agree that cameras might spoil the exercise routine. We need to get those abs into shape before we flaunt them!
Misty- I must look into that patio furniture that your unnamed female entrepreneur is selling; it might be great to use after the patio yoga. It is always great to see a hardworking female business owner have success and be bought out by a rival company. Hopefully she receives plenty of income money and can now retire to her patio, or she can be on the Board of the new company to keep her busy.
Think "Beer Barrel ____ dots"
ReplyDeleteOh Owen, I am ROTGL. How did I miss the connection to the dots!
ReplyDeleteI love it. Thanks for the laugh.
Ol' Man Keith, liked your higher patio haiku--very neat!
ReplyDeleteOwen, so glad Reverend Dixon was a kind prophet! Delightful poem, many thanks.
CanadianEh!, Woohoo! I'll take all that great advice in your verse--except I don't think I can dance a polka anymore at this time in my life--not even on my patio.
Thank you for all your kind comments on my verse, everybody.

That one word made me recall this three part tale
ReplyDeleteSaturday, 6/25/22
Width,Kneel,Hardly,Accent;
Wicked headache
—---------
And there was Holly across the PATIO, barely the width of the yard
Chet gave Lois a nudge and whispered wickedly, 'It won't be so hard'
Lois was seized with a sudden headache accented by a surge of fear
"I won't kneel to the bitch" she thought, and said
"So nice to see you, Holly , my dear".

Deterred
—-------------
As Lois walked towards cousin Holly she thought 'Once bit twice shy"
Chet murmured, don't be deterred it's always hard the first try
Holly was dressed in typical fashion wearing a radish colored jersey
That struck a particular vhord as Lois prayed. 'God have mercy'
Her elders in AA had advised: "Deary, make your tale short and sweet"
Lately, Lois had a one track mind, "Any success will be bittersweet"

_ounce, shyly, pebble, flaunt, best of (the) bunch.
WC—--------------
It took the last ounce of courage for Lois to approach cousin Holly.
Thought Lois, "This pebble in my shoe must be expunged, by golly"
"That's a beautiful shirt, Holly, I just love the hue"
"Lois!", said Holly, so glad your here. Come closer in view"
"You always were the best of the bunch, cousins that is. Your aunt
Was Bettie, as I recall. Memory is one trait that I can hardly flaunt"
Chet was watching from across the way, near the terrace
He nearly spilled his root beer when he saw the pair in a warm embrace
Wow! Wilbur, we missed you today, so what a surprise to see this wonderful set of Lois, Chet, and Holly verses from you at the end of the day. I hope everyone will have a chance to read them and comment on them tomorrow morning--it's so exciting to see them. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI too will comment on them tomorrow, when I've had more time to read them slowly.
