Today’s Jumble haiku;
ReplyDelete(Olympic runners who aren’t swift, are silly.
Like mountain climbers who, Willy-Nilly,
Might as well lack climbing tools.
Be mountaineering fools…
Like Foo-Fighters,
w/o Foo…)
”Foo, the Tool-Less!”
The fleetest of foot
should stand with the gold elect!
Or else, ‘twere oddest!

In Sci-Fi, all our orbital junk
ReplyDeleteCould be cleared as a hunk.
A tractor beam
Could get things clean,
Sweep it up like so much gunk.

My #2 was virtually a bot and similar to OMK 's guess. I got lucky with the T as K could easily be #5
Hint for Misty. It seems that you've published many

The oddest notion came to mind as I pondered Genesis:
ReplyDeleteIf we go from ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Why do we elect to honor the fleetest. Why must
Or rather should we endure the pain of life's cruel lashes.
Life need not be a race to be run against one's nemesis
Live life to the fullest
Happy, Free and Joyest

Isabella elected Columbus an admiral,
ReplyDeleteSo off of the Earth he would travel!
He was becoming such a vexation,
That should end Christopher's aggravation!
He was given three worn-out ships for a fleet,
And set off for East Indians to meet!
Altho the Earth was known to be round,
His route was considered quite unsound!
His crews were largely misfits
Who signed on for this oddest of trips.
It took them 10 weeks, land to land.
Accomodations were not very grand.
He milked his reputation to the fullest
As the world's most unwelcome tourist!
"Caring Candidate"
ReplyDeleteOur citizens once did elect
a mayor who should get great respect.
She was organized and neat,
and supported by a fleet
of voters kind and modest,
whose demands avoided the oddest.
They gave her their fullest support,
and after her term as mayor ended,
she was appointed to a court,
where here decisions were considered the best,
and made her supporters feel proud and blessed.
Yes, I went for the “k,”
ReplyDeletebut my real error was at #2, where I foolishly went for the “e” that had already been eliminated at #1!

I must say, Misty, you devote your verse to some of the most deserving of subjects. Here you have a lady mayor who, upon retirement, steps onto a judge's bench! Wow!
ReplyDeleteAnd somewhere along the way, she was "supported by a fleet"!
Does that mean she had a temp gig as an admiral (!)--like Owen's Christopher?!
Who else is in the pantheon today?
Lessee,Wilbur, who have you got in your sights?
Oh, ye gods, I see you pondering the Bible at the start!
Then the Phoenix bird, and another admiral!
Only first class types for us.
Even I had to see my swifty standing among the gold-medalists.
I don't see anybody wasting their literary gifts on the man in the street.

Thank you for the kind comment, Ol' Man Keith. As for my mayor's support, I guess I did figure her voters constituted a kind of navy who admired her as their admiral--metaphorically, of course. It's not a bad idea to transfer some of our concepts to another gender occasionally, is it?
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Columbus becoming the world's most unwelcome tourist, Owen. Maybe Isabella should have undertaken those voyages herself?
Wilbur, I'll have to tackle Wordle later in the day to figure out how many (what?) I've published. Books? Nope just tried it, and not a single letter worked. Will have to try it again later.
Misty, professors publish more rhan books. The W is somewhat obscure but not in the uni world. And that's a FACT

Religious pamphlets, if you were leading a James Joyce cult.
ReplyDeleteWC ~ These usually refer to short religious or political writings.
ReplyDeleteI have published some, but I would not identify them with this label. It sounds too much like being en route towards tenure.
To me, these publications are articles, essays, or just “pieces.”
