Al was a donkey -- to be blunt, he was an ass --
Who would gorge himself on hay and grass.
And what he drank to quench his thirst
Wasn't water. It was hooch or worse!
We tried to forbid his moonshine addiction,
But to say he was willing would be a fiction!
How he got the stuff, we hadn't been clued.
All we knew was most of time he was stewed.
Now an ass that is drunk is no use at all.
His straight plowed line was a sketchy scrawl.
But bless my soul, when it was time for chow,
He'd knock that feed back like a starving cow!
Al got so fat that he could hardly stand --
So we ran him for congress as Republican!
A Pommy chap, a bit of a lush
Visited Texas, he'd heard so much.
One night the fool
Fell into the pool,
Thought it a big loo, and yelled "Don't flush! Don't flush!"
Today’s Jumble haiku, two in number.
The second contains ALL the J-Words.
(A truth about blessings, to be filed as a…)
“’Bee’ Fact”
Those who can Forbid
may extend Blessings. Neither
will always be wise.
Jack drank a sketchy
amount of forbidden booze.
Who calls that blessing?

"Helping Hand"
Debby had a friend she wanted to thank
as their wine they happily drank.
She had recently sketched a cartoon
whose publication the paper did forbid.
But it ended up being a boon
for with her friend's feedback she revised it.
And so her sketch will be published soon,
thanks to her friend's helpfulness.
And so their glasses of wine they clicked
as Debby her friend did bless.
Misty ~ Your Debby was fortunate indeed to have such a helpful friend. And not just one to “lend an ear,” but with the experience & taste to advise appropriate correctives, alterations that actually served to get the cartoon published.
Debby’s pal is apparently on track to be an editor.
If Debby’s cartoonist career gets a boost from this job, maybe she can do more than share some wine; maybe she can swing a little weight to get her friend launched on a career of her (or his?) own.
Al the Ass got so fat, Owen, that it seems you’ve turned him into a pachyderm!

Many thanks for your very kind comment on my verse, Ol' Man Keith--greatly appreciated.
I very much enjoyed your two "Blessing" haikus too--delightful!
Owen, your verses get more complicated and interesting each day, and your story about your poor alcoholic Al (nice name) was clever and hilarious. Hope you can get him enrolled in AA.
Miss seeing CanadianEh! and Wilbur--hope they check in later.
I've been having trouble lately getting into my usual Wordle site, that lets me put in my five letter tries. As soon as I search Wordle each day, I get a message giving me today's Wordle solution rather than a site where I can make my own tries and put in my own words. Any suggestions on how I might solve that problem? I'd appreciate some help.
Tomorrow I have old-time friends from Riverside coming here for an early dinner, so I may not have time to check in at all. But I hope you all have a great evening and a good day tomorrow.
Misty, I don't know if my way of accessing Wordle will work for you, as I am a subscriber to the New York Times, and that may give me an edge.
But you can give it a try.
I just enter the following in my entry line:
NYT Wordle
That's what I START to enter. My computer is familiar with me, of course, so I never have to type more than NYT W when it starts to fill in the rest. It gives me several options, but I only click on the top one, as that takes me directly to the empty Wordle diagram. (If you click on any other, it may well take you to the ANSWER, which you don't want to see.)
Of course I do NOT try this before Midnight Pacific time for the coming day.

For today's W, I used as my starter word the name of my "Hi-Y" club from my high school days.
It was a lucky day for me to experiment, as that old club name contains two of the W's letters that are not in any of the usual starters:
I was a ROGUE.

I must confess that I started the W this morning, but was stymied, and put it aside. We have Victoria Day holiday today, and we spent the day planting the gardens. (Now I am sore!).
I came here to find anW clue and read Owen’s poem first. Voila, I saw the tricky W - not your normal combination of letters due to its Inuit origin.
Enjoyed reading you all today.
