The opening poem contains all the words (or variations of them) from today's Jumble.Comments are welcomed! And couching them in Poetry is NOT required.
Since August 2022, Wordle brags and links to original jigsaw puzzles are also welcomed!
Do not explicitly reveal any of the actual Jumble or Wordle answer words until after closing time, but embedding them surreptitiously in comment sentences is encouraged.
Today I slept longer than practical,
ReplyDeletetho I’d hoped to do something radical.
To finish an essay,
I’ll still need a day,
so it’s time for my weekly sabbatical!

FLN, I didn’t want to sign off, Misty, without clarifying what I meant about decoding my 5-liner on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI know you solved the Wordle, Congratulations!—and maybe without using my hint.
But just in case, you will find TREND spelled out in my poem by a different type of acrostic, with each of its letters appearing one farther place to the right, line after line.
That’s it. Have a good Sunday!

The grandfather clock was a classic.
ReplyDeleteIts steady thrumming was tick-tock-ic.
Pendulum swings
Giving Time wings.
To fly away like a child in traffic!
"Therapy"
ReplyDeleteNancy knew she couldn't subdue
the worried honcho
wearing a poncho
who had been in tears for years
and now needed some hope and cheers.
But first she taught him some grammar
so he would no longer yammer
about his frugal speech
as new words she did him teach.
He worked hard to mirror her sound
and dabbled to come around.
He now sounds very clear
and holds his therapist dear.
Ol' Man Keith, I did use your hint to find the word TRENT embedded in your poem. Thanks again for your help.
ReplyDeleteTrend
ReplyDeleteI Yam what I Yam- Mercy Me
ReplyDeleteI dabble in Geneology, family history long past,
Save mementos that might be useful,
Though he thinks they should be outcast.
And while that may be frugal,
These things do tend to last,
Piling up as clutter toxic to my son’s approval.
A look in the mirror reveals my paunch,
Oh - the wrinkles too and grey hair!
I have no way to subdue or staunch
The passage of time with its wear and tear.
Yes, I too have been around for years.
Is that why these objects calm my fears?
Enjoy your sabbatical OMK.
ReplyDeleteOwen gives us the Wordle disguised as the sound of a clock. I love “ Pendulum swings Giving time wings”.
And Misty brings us a worried honcho who needs speech therapy. What a brilliant way to use all those somewhat disjointed J words today. I had to create a fictitious person with a hoarding disorder who speaks like Popeye the Sailor Man. (Maybe he needs that speech therapist, as well as lessons from Marie Kondo!)
Yes, TREND--thanks, Owen.
ReplyDeleteOMK, your Sunday morning verse telling us you need to take the day off and won't be giving us a verse is always illogically funny and makes me laugh. Thanks for that weekend treat.
ReplyDeleteOwen, you too gave us a fun verse, rhyming 'classic' with 'tick-tock-ic' and 'traffic'--very clever.
But CanadianEh!, your taking the Jumble solution 'around for years' in its sense of being elderly was even more brilliant. I don't know if it made me wish I could see a picture of all of us, or incredibly grateful that we can't. Another total delight.
Thanks, everybody, for making this a fun Sunday.
Hmm, I just finished

ReplyDeleteI don’t see 624
I matched you on 625. Fortunately I had that fourth letter early. I’ll post it on today’s blog.
