Today’s Jumble haiku:
(Today’s J-words remind me of a quote I once heard attributed to a classical philosopher, “My dear friend, you should not expect me to smile while music is playing in the grave Mixolydian mode.”
In today’s verse, we are reminded that the martial music performed by military bands is designed to stir patriotic passions. When presented on state occasions, however, such as when officials of different nations meet, care must be taken to avoid certain aggressive airs.
This haiku might be the words of the officer in charge of such musical selection, in response to a particularly militant tune.)
”The Air is Bruisin’!”
Unwind that harsh march;
its minor key triggers waves
of feisty anger!
~ OMK
Too many poor decisions the tribe could see,
So they replaced the chief's head with a tee!
It could carry the ball,
And that was not all --
It could kick off a football or rugby jamboree!
To err is human, to baa is ovine.
To pun is human, to refrain divine.
You can tell I'm human, by my twisted mind.
If I tried to untwist it, I might unwind!
A snarky comeback is a feisty person.
A timid comeback is a milquetoast person,
A sassy comeback is a minor person.
A silent comeback is a stoic person.
Descartes said "I think, thus I am!"
Popeye said "I'm a sailor, yes I yam!"
Freud said "I'm a shrink, yes I am!"
A sweet potato said "Yes, I'm a yam."
(Silly, sweet potatoes don't speak.
At least they didn't when I checked last week.)
You might think my judgements are harsh,
But at least I'm heir to a dash of panache.

Used a J to start, per usual
"Harsh Minor"
The defendant was a feisty minor
who made trouble at the diner.
His folks said he was not unkind,
his harsh words just let him unwind.
The judge told the parents to beware
failing to control their inhumane heir.
They were obliged to pay a fine
and keep the nasty kid in line.
Liked your 'bruisin air' haiku, OMK.
And, Owen, your 'I am/I yam' verse cracked me up. Thanks for that too!
Look like fun Wordles, Wilbur and CanadianEh!, wish I could see the actual words!

Misty, I try to start with a J if there's one with no E(MINOR). I had QUIET as #3
WC
No usable J tonight though
Ps, I'm up late trying to finish the cw authored by CC. NW has me flummoxed. I'll go to online now

Both Owen & Misty are hitting their stride today, in rhythm, rhyme, & wit.
The former covers a lot of ground, defining the essence of each special species.
The latter sticks to the parent/child relationship;—oh, and also the judiciary!
Both show finely-tuned perceptions…
