Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(In pairing combatants for the jousting, efforts were made by squires to be sure horses were mounted by champions of like height & weight, to…)
“Take Up Their Kind”
In the next module,
the Knight proved no match (in the
big book of matches).

Canadian pronunciation is cute.
ReplyDeleteA Canadian may be "up and aboot".
Their sentences tend
To have "eh?" at the end,
And a Mountie wears a Santa-red suit!

An actor to play the knight, Sir Reele
ReplyDeleteHad to have a certain feel.
He had to project the courage to dare
Enter into a fire dragon's lair.
He had to prove he could be a match
To the hero who wyverns would dispatch.
Yet still be tender to the damsel
That an ogre from a bridge might dangle.
Sir Reele's was a module story
Of a series of tales of glory.
An exemplar of macho manliness
To a degree few could possess.
Leaders of the actor's guild did mind,
Said with her makeup, Linda would do just fine!
"Resolution"
ReplyDeleteThe knight had much to prove
and had to think through every move.
He decided to work up a module
that would not an opponent fool.
Then after they finished their match
they could any last conflict patch.
The plan required no make-up
and would not his opponent shake up.
It worked, and they left all conflicts behind
and both men are now of the same mind.
Ol' Man Keith, once again, delightful haiku with the whole Jumble cleverly embedded in it. A question before I think of doing the Wordle today: what is "the other Bot starter"? For that matter, what is a "bot"? You can tell I've not yet totally caught us to our century.
ReplyDeleteOwen, I hope CanadianEh! reads your first verse. I'd love to see her response to it.
Then your second verse picks up on our knight's tale--this one acted out on stage. Now I have en even more mystified word question: what on earth is a "wyvern"? I was sure you made that word up--couldn't possibly exist--and then there it was, some" mythical two footed creature that resembles a dragon". Who knew? The things you learn on this blog: amazing!
I'll check in again later to check out responses and see if anyone else checked in (Wilbur? Sandyanon?).
Misty ~ At the risk of repeating an earlier answer, the "Bot" is a robot, a kind of A.I. (artificial intelligence) that can take many forms. In this, it was assigned to search out the best starting 5-letter Wordle combos.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, what were the starter words most likely to lead to the right W-answer?
Two words emerged: SLATE and CRANE. Today I used SLATE. That gave me the A and T, two of the letters in today's answer.
As to your poem, I am not sure I grasp the knight's strategy. By working up a plan "that would not an opponent fool," was he, in effect, conceding the "win" to his competitor? And did that somehow endear him to the opposition?
My best guess is that neither of those outcomes would occur.
If he wanted to leave "all conflicts behind," wouldn't that be more likely if he just said so?
I mean, if he would just say, "Let's call the whole thing off," there would be a fair chance they could quit and head for a retirement village together.
But tell me, please, if I have misunderstood.
Another Question: Does CanadianEh's nationality give her a leg up in today's contest? Owen seems to think so.

One reason for my strategy is to have the E available for #2.
So I fiddled and diddled my way to a bogey
I'm reading an old Len Deighton. "Funeral in Berlin1964)
At the head of every chapter is a concise Chess strategy paralleling the strategy of the protagonist*
Deighton had an intimate knowledge of communist secret service apparatus
Apparatus?

No need to apologize, Misty, as you didn't sound cranky at all.
ReplyDeleteWe had a tough time here as well. Another attempted attack by a coyote. Fortunately, it failed, and our pups are OK.

I think I'd rather be a Wyvern than any other dragon-type. You get to be pretty much like a human but with wings instead of arms. Oh, and you'd be naked with greenish skin.
ReplyDeleteI think we'd be pretty able to maneuver a bod like that.

Thanks for your kind response, ONK, and your Wyvern message cracked me up! A good way to end the evening! And so glad your pups are okay!
