Today’s Jumble haiku:
”Frankly Riled”
That skinny flirt said,
“When you pluck my daisy, pal,
don’t swing a mallet.”
~ OMK
When Scotty's ship was called a garbage scow,
Scotty took umbrage -- and how!
Five crewmates all,
They ended up in a brawl,
But the five declared they weren't in a row!

When I was a kid, to our grocer, we said, “Charge”;

or arrived in a rowboat or shipped on a …..!

Just like a bull in a china shop, I _____d right in today.

Today, I offer lyrics for a new song, inspired as an honest outlet for my anger and based on a common country & western theme.

Fresh as a daisy
Was that skinny flirt, Maisie.
She barged right in
And stole my man.
Am I committing a sin
Using a mallet on her van?
Misty- OMK has given you W rhymes again today. Owen has hidden the W in an acronym (brilliant).
Fortunately, I had that first letter or I would have likely had a fourth guess (did you both have synonym for Bib?
OMK- I see we took a similar route for our J titles. Are all flirts skinny? And when they give us a word like “mallet”, there is sure to be violence.
CEh!, TWO acronyms, not just one, with 5 characters ending "not in a row".
"Crazy Romance"
David thought he was crazy
when he started dating Daisy.
But she was skinny and wore a cute skirt,
and it was hard for David not to flirt.
So instead of playing polo with a mallet,
he made Daisy a delicious salad.
She loved it and it raised his rank,
and she filed a bonus for him at her bank.
Well, yes, CanadianEh, I’d say it’s a sin, but then there’s nothing wrong with “sin for sin” in our uncharitable culture.
If you’d rather we take the Zen path, then your anti-Maisie probably harmed herself more than that van.
Misty ~ Your David was at least a little bit crazy finding equivalency between swinging a mallet and making a salad.
But congratulations to you for finding they rhyme!
Their relationship certainly comes across as “transactional,” seeing as she pays off that salad with a financial reward from her bank!
I wonder how much he’ll charge for a wedding…?
~ OMK
Owen ~ I am probably misunderstanding—unless you mean two anagrams, rather than acronyms.
~ OMK
Woohoo! Woohoo! I got Wordle on one try today, thanks to your incredibly helpful hint, Ol' Man Keith! Many, many thanks! And I loved your haiku and verse too--ships and boats, everywhere today, except for silly David and Daisy.

Owen's ship actually helped a little too--another thanks from me.
CanadianEh!, when you get cranky, your poetry just becomes more and more fun. Time for you to sit down and have a nice hot glass of buttered rum! (Hope that tastes good--I've never had a chance to try one. Maybe I should go for a riled poem tomorrow?)
Sorry, I wrote acronym instead of anagram, and Owen followed me. But now I see his second anagram. Nice.
Misty- I might take your suggestion if the hot buttered rum. I’m glad you enjoyed my poem today. I think I was inspired by the mallet. I had not thought of a polo mallet, as your David had. But I was a little awed by the bank bonus for a salad.
Right, anagram, not acronym.
I always get those two mixed up. I forgot to do Wordle today.
Friday xword is a beaut
