To my Collegial Guys & Gals,
Owen & Misty,
true Jumble blog pals.
To Wilbur as well,
& CanadianEh!
just a moment of time,
your attention, I pray!
Please know, I’m thankful you make no quarrel
with this weekly time I claim for myself.
Once again, dear friends, it’s my Sunday withdrawal—
Yep!—time for Ol’ Keith to go back on the shelf….
… not to gather dust, but to recharge my cells,
to pump my hemoglobin back up over “10.”
I’ll check to be sure there’re no alarm bells,
that my platelets are rich, and my psyche is—Zen.
Then when ol’ Monday rolls around,
I’ll be ready to tackle Erato again,
to pin, if need be, her wings to the ground,
and wring out her blessing … (Can I get an “Amen”?!).
~ OMK
Should the United Nations first be notified,
Someone has most of their pizza from outside?
Backwards from the crust,
That's bad enough!
But opening their jacket just mortified!

James was a ruthless arbitrager.
On the exchange floor, he was a major.
Shrewd as a fox, now a bull, now a bear,
Ready to uproot, unplug, or just scare!
He'd hang up his fedora before the bell,
Then flourished in the trader's hell.
If there was unwanted move, he'd squash,
And other arbitragers could only squawk.
Four o'clock bell, he retired to his quarters
To unwind a bit, read financial reporters.
Slept soundly, knowing he had no equal.
He had ruined others, still he was peaceful.
"Romance Recovery"
The guy in the fedora was smart and shrewd,
but still the romance became unglued.
He was unwilling to uproot
and move to her new quarters,
and soon the relationship became mute
as they realized they'd no longer be partners.
They did not squawk,
but on a long walk
they had a serious talk.
They both hated having their romance unplug
and gave each other a loving hug.
And then realized they could no longer tarry:
it was time to get engaged and marry.
Here's another Ai generated poem
write a sonnet using the words fedora, uproot, squash, unplug, shrewd, squawk, equals four quarters
Here’s a sonnet I came up with using the words you provided:
A fedora on his head, he took a stroll,
And saw a garden where he could uproot
The weeds that grew around the squash and pole,
And then he heard a squawk from a bird’s hoot.
He felt so free when he unplugged his phone,
And walked around with shrewdness in his eyes,
He heard a squawk again, but this time alone,
And saw a bird that flew up to the skies.
He thought about how life is like a game,
Where every moment equals four quarters,
And how we all should strive to earn our fame,
By being kind and helping our supporters.
I hope you like it! Let me know if you want me to write another one.
That by the way, was not from ChatGPT, but from Bing's Ai. Here is another try, but this time I asked for a limerick.
Here’s a limerick I came up with using the words you provided:
A man with a fedora so neat,
Went to his garden to uproot some beet,
He saw a squash,
And gave it a toss,
Then unplugged his phone and heard a squawk so sweet.
He was shrewd and knew what he had to do,
He went back inside and made some stew,
He thought about life,
And how it’s full of strife,
But every moment equals four quarters, it’s true.
I hope you like it! Let me know if you want me to write another one.
Bing again
write a limerick in which the word unzip is hidden in some way
Here’s a limerick I came up with that has the word “unzip” hidden in it:
I once had a zipper that broke,
And I thought it was surely no joke,
I tried to unzip,
But it wouldn’t give,
So I threw it away and bought a new coat.
Did you find the word “unzip” hidden in there? Let me know if you want me to write another one!
Call Me Old-Fashioned
Squash that macaw that squawks,
Uproot the lamb’s quarters that spread,
Unplug the shrewd charlatan that hawks,
Unzip the jacket, raise the fedora instead.
Manners may have gone out the door,
But two plus two still equals four.
OMK- I’ll give you an “Amen”
Owen- interesting AI productions, but I like your original better!
Misty- I fear for the future of that marriage if he did not discuss where they were going to live.
Enjoyed reading you all today.
And finally, here's ChatGPT with the same prompt. It's not as polite about bookending with comments.
There once was a man with a zip,
On his trousers, it made quite a trip,
But one day it stuck,
He was out of luck,
And had to quickly unzip and strip!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
What a complicated Sunday!
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
Ol' Man Keith claims he can't clock in today
but in the process does his best weekly verse display.
Then Owen lets us know he still can thrive
by giving us not one verse, but actually five.
His first one gives us a pizza crust,
his second, an arbitrager we can't trust.
The third guy wore a fedora and was so cool
he just made everybody drool.
In his fourth one he bought himself a coat,
and in the last one did over his open trousers gloat.
Owen, we figured you were a poet,
but now we really know it.
Yeah! CanadianEh! gives us a cool surprise
by un-doing everything before our eyes!
And so, finally, Wilbur, there's still some space:
come on in with a verse, and join the race.
I was out and about today and then there was the Sunday xword that takes awhile.
I finally filled fedora but missed EQUALS (FOUR QUARTERS)
