Today’s Jumble haiku:
(There is a perky, prancing dog known as the “Little Lion” because of its distinctive mane. This breed, famed for its friendly nature, comes from a town in Germany.
It is a real “ham,” happy to act up in front of a camera…)

The Free Prancing Lowchen

Pet pup “Lichen” is
a useful dog. He stars in
reruns that amuse.

If you’re planning to go out to dine
and you’ve chosen a restaurant that’s fine,
you’ll want to start off your evening with wine,
and—to keep halal or kosher—no s….!

I started with SLATE and meant to keep the final “E.” But when I tried to enter SKYPE at level 2, it was rejected; on an impulse I switched it to SKIPS.

Do you get confused about wines?
Which are from the bestest vines?
To save your bacon,
You may take on
A Grape Courses class online!

"Successful Show"

The TV show did much to amuse
with fun comedies and nightly news.
Some viewers found it cool and useful
while others considered it just some bull-.

Some enjoyed the show on biking
while others hated the program on lichen.
But the biggest hit performed great dancers
doing numbers that were total free-lancers.

In the end the show was a lot of fun
and the planners scheduled it for a re-run.

Ol' Man Keith said...

Useful oenological advice from Owen's limerick!

Misty & I went in the same direction, following one of the J-words into TV-land.
Her programming covered far more topics than my one-trick dogshow.

On the Wordle front, I see we ALL landed on the fourth tier.
Par is par, after all.

Tree Prancers

What is required to amuse, fulfill?
Exercise? where every run requires such skill?
Or enjoy nature - com’n it’s free.
Try searching for hylids* on a tree.
You can take a hike in.
Against the bark and lichen
Those with grey skin can hardly be seen
This winding trail is in between.

* Tree frog=hylid

Nice Wordle work today. Misty, you have lots of clues to maybe get it in one guess.

OMK- no TV land for my J words. I went back to nature. But look how Misty and I managed to rhyme lichen, while you used it as the dogs name. LOL. But we both were Prancing. Was Lowchen a Google learning moment?

Misty- I snorted at your rhyme of useful and bull-. Glad the show will return for another season.

I have all the J words and the W in my rhyme, but some are camouflaged like my hylid.

You all gave me such great Wordle clues today, I should have gotten this on the first try with no problem. But I was a bit dense, and it took me forever:

I'm back to my old Wordle days, I guess.

Let me guess. You started with STEIN then perhaps SNIDE. 3 and 4 were SHINE and SPINE and finally...

Actually, very good solving

Neat rhyming of Lichen, CanadianEh! Yes, I learned via Google of the breed called Lowchen, named for the town of its breeding.
It seemed a perfect origin tale for my TV doggie’s name.

I liked your rhyme for Lichen too, Misty. I probably would have made the echo more obvious by dropping the “g” from biking and adding the apostrophe.
But we got it anyway.

Misty said...

OMK, I can't imagine naming a dog "Lichen"! But hey, if he's useful and amuses, who cares! Thank you for your kind comment on mine.
And after your second verse, and Owen's, I was ready for a glass of Chardonnay. My grape juice just didn't do the job.

CanadianEh!, you're right--we need more exercise, and I'm proud of myself for doing it on the floor three or four days a week, and walking up and down the hall 20 times twice a day. But searching for your "hylids" outdoors in a park would be a lot more fun.

Wilbur, I'm proud of myself that I matched you in your Wordle today! Yay!
