  1. Today’s Jumble haiku:
    (The small town had two cinemas—the Metro & the Grove. Neither ran anything on time. The former always started 5 to 10 minutes behind announced start times, and the latter was often later.
    Otto Clunk, Jr. loved movies and hoped to work at one of the theaters…)

    Otto, Correct Time?

    Was Junior tardy?
    The Grove still accepted him
    for an usher’s job.

  2. Going thru life, don't miss it all.
    Sniff the roses, play whiffle ball,
    Whistle happy tunes,
    Try to catch the Moon.
    Do it young, before the autumn leaves fall.

  3. Sammy was late yet again.
    His tardiness was an issue.
    He'd run late since he didn't know when,
    And planes and trains said, "We'll miss you."

    But as he rose from his junior rank,
    Coworkers had to then accept him!
    He blamed his auto, named "the Tank",
    And promised he'd make correction.

    To meditate, Sammy often drove
    Into the country to contemplate.
    There in a private, cloistered grove,
    He'd think his thoughts -- till he was late!

  4. Still absent with leave,
    But I do believe
    That things are improving,
    And I will be moving
    Back to more normal life
    Minus the woes and strife;
    By next week I hope.

  5. "Success"

    The junior was a smarty
    who never got stuck in a grove.
    He was punctual and never tardy
    and into new fields often dove.

    When offered a chance to edit
    the job he did accept
    and it earned him a great deal of credit
    and professional respect.

    And so the junior became an editor,
    able to autocorrect,
    and to juniors he serves as a creditor
    and they consider him very adept.
    and now to juniors serves as a creditor.

  6. But the author of "Success"
    ends her verse in a bit of a mess.

  7. Misty, unlike my tardy Junior
    yours always gets there sooner.
    And the “juniors” over whom he’s editor
    must be grateful he’s no predator.

    Don’t beat yourself up for the messy ending;
    be grateful pals ain’t de-friending.

  8. …so good to see you can cope!

    Love your rhymes, CanadianEh,
    and your Wordle rates more than a sniff.
    You really make my frabjous day;
    In perhaps a jiff, you’ll get a full-bodied —!

  10. I eliminated 10 before getting the scent of

    Wordle 667 3/6

    ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛
    ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛
    🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

    I started this morning but was away all day and just noticed my first two guesses had no scent of success
