    Today’s Jumble haiku:
    Slickly-like-Spit

    Spruce sap spread thinly…
    ‘twill leave a light silky shine—
    and a sticky one.

  3. Lori Lee was a seal by day,
    But at night she became a Selkie.
    She left her sealskin hid away,
    And walked in her girlskin, milky.

    She befriended sailors and lighthouse keepers
    Lickety-split, they fell for her madly.
    But her emotions went no deeper
    Than a thin indifference, sadly.

    With her sealskin melded to her back
    She'd return to the sea's dominion
    Where spruce bull seals she'd attract,
    But she held in low opinion.

    'Twill be the end to this lonely story
    To say no Selkie did she find.
    And so, alas, our Selkie Lori
    Grew old, the last of her own kind.

    Was not am ace but a double bogey. Wordle got mixed up and lost my earlier solve

    I almost put MAMMY but that was to vlose to a solution a few weeks ago

    Great scrabble word, eh?

    Of course if I'd come here first I could have solved in one guess

  7. "Sewing Success"

    Sally sewed a scarf that was silky
    and bought a twill whose color was milky.
    She felt there was no excuse
    why she shouldn't thinly spruce.
    And now her products have become a hit
    and have made her famous lickety-split.

  8. Good for scarf-sewing Sally, Misty!
    I'm sure she could also get a job selling sea shells by the sea side.
    We ended up with some neat tongue-twisters today.

    Owen's poem avoided that snare, but his Selkie, Lori Lee, met her own sad end.

  9. Misty ~ No news yet on our email issue.
    If the university's tech wizards can't find a way to override the problem, they will have a hard time communicating with us at all.
    Email is the ONLY way they have made general announcements in the past. Short of a telephone tree, they will be hard pressed to reach us.

    I spent an hour trying to work with my gmail, but I am only halfway to figuring it out. I found a way for it to accept my UCI address ask an alternate address, but I do not know if I am sending out from that address or from my original gmail address. I am testing by sending messages to my wife & am now waiting to see how she replies.

  10. Late again. I hope my summer will be better than my spring. Sigh!
    Enjoyed you all again. Once again we all went in different directions with the same words.
    (I really like Lori Lee’s “girl skin”.

  11. I try to check in again in late evening, CEh! ~ just in case someone arrives late or re-posts after dinner.
    I appreciated your spring-cleaning verse. It actually prompted me to take another look at my ultra-messy desk.
    That all-"aglow" feeling is tempting, but... well, maybe tomorrow, eh?

  12. I am the only one to recognize TWILL as a verbal phrase!
    I think it comes from memorizing so many Elizabethan plays. “‘Twas,” “‘twould” and “‘twill” are favorite starters.
