  1. Today’s Jumble haiku:
    (Lookalike peels, hooked apart, dry out fast thru exposure to air & subsequent evaporation. While wetness stimulates nasal membranes, dried molecules [luppies] lose that power.)

    Hooked Luppy Twin(s)”

    The mildew theory
    of entropy says onions,
    when plucked, lose all stink.

    Jim didn’t want his son to be known as a heel,
    so he drove him in his car, “You’ll keep nothing you steal!”
    On the way, they had a flat, so had to change the front ….. .

  3. Pharaoh wanted a better way to get around.
    He needed new heels when he walked the town.
    Horses were bumpy,
    His barge made him jumpy,
    He wanted something that never left the ground!

  4. "Healthy Theory"

    Penny had energy and pluck
    and always hoped for good luck.
    She looked in her recipe book
    for an onion stew to cook.
    She dried her clothes to avoid mildew,
    and enjoyed visiting the zoo.
    Her theory was to be generous and give,
    and that gave her a good life to live.

  5. Hooked Up to Limb

    Down on his luck
    He got behind the wheel,
    Gathered up his pluck,
    And took off with a squeal.
    His inattention he would rue,
    Musing on his theory under review
    Of preventing onions with mildew,
    As into the woods he flew.

  6. OMK- My smile for the day was evoked by your “mildew theory of entropy”. Great imagination (and at last, a solution for onion odour). Do your lip pies have any scientific basis?

    Owen - another smile today for Pharaoh’s “new heels”.
    Misty- you have plenty of W clues today.

    Misty- Penny sounds like a practical lady who knows how to cook and look after her clothes. But better yet, she has a good attitude about life with her generosity. (And how can you say anything bad about someone who loves the zoo!)

  8. Glad to have triggered your smile, CanadianEh! and to have inspired, at least partially, your poem!
    My mildew theory is not entirely correct, but my rough idea of entropy does indeed apply to the gradual cessation of onion odor/our. (I fear the addition of mildew suggests the very opposite of entropy.)
    Luppies/lip pies are true, although their new name is fiction.
    Your plucky driver needs to keep his mind on the road. I don’t know what is in store for him, but it can’t be good!

    Misty ~ Your Penny shares her name and high energy with our new little Yorkie.
    I would hate to see what we would get if our pup tried to run things in the kitchen or the laundry room, but I am sure she would have a wonderful time at the zoo.
    For that matter, I can easily imagine the zoo critters having a great day if Penny were to express herself on the other side of the bars and moats! She can already dance on just two legs, and I’m pretty sure back flips will be next!

  9. Woohoo! Woohoo! You helped me get the Wordle in one try, Ol' Man Keith:

    Thank you so much! You've made my day.
    And thank you for your kind and delightful words about my poem, and your sweet comments about your Yorkie!

  10. , your guy is sure having a crazy day. But amazingly you worked all the Jumble words into your verse, along with a hilarious play with the solution in your title. Made me laugh. And thanks for your kind words about Penny.

    Owen, I think your Pharaoh needed a skateboard.

    Nice to see you checking in, Wilbur.

  11. CE, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but your name once again got erased after I pushed the Publish button. Let me try it again, and see if it works: CanadianEh!.

  12. Misty ~ There are a few ways to have an address name erase itself.
    But the most common one occurs when the angle brackets (><) are accidentally turned the wrong way.
    Specifically, you might have turned the end bracket—just before CE’s name
    —and then the front bracket—just after her name
    —so that these two brackets ENCLOSED her name.
    In that case, the mistakenly bracketed name would have vanished!

  13. You can try it yourself.
    Any letters you place inside of angled brackets—if they are not acceptable code—will automatically erase themselves.
    Whether the letters are someone’s name or just random makes no difference.

  14. Ah Misty, there must be a gremlin in the system who doesn’t like Canadians. I will have to tell him I am sorry for whatever offended him. LOL.
    Thanks for your comments. I was rather pleased with my title - I do the title first usually. But I would not have created the poem that I did today if I had just been using the 4 J words.
    It might have almost been like OMK’s haiku.

    My theory of preventing mildew is to pluck the onions early.
