  1. Today’s Jumble haiku:
    (Racine’s Phedre tells of the illicit love of the Queen for her stepson, Hippolytus.
    The old tragedy was copied by hand on old parchment, and in the fourth act…)

    She’ll (Strike a) Dearth With It

    The wheaten scroll tells
    how she whirls and screams tirades
    at husband & son!

    Here’s a riddle to ask of a faux “bot”:
    If a cop is replaced by a robot,
    think how it will go (or go-not)
    is it likely to be dunking a …..?

  4. A patisserie is a French kind of shop
    To get a doughnut, fresh and oven-hot.
    Your mouth will go "Oh!"
    When you taste that baked dough!
    And you'll want to return, like as not!

  5. "Deserving Daughter"

    Wendy was using some wheat
    to make cookies on the baking sheet.
    She hoped the party for the girl
    would make her birthday a whirl.

    After being subjected to a tirade,
    her daughter finally got a good grade.
    This achieved an important goal
    that she happily in her diary did scroll.

    So Wendy hoped the party would go well,
    and make her daughter feel worthy and swell.

  6. Misty ~ Looks like Wendy and her daughter are managing one of the growing pains of family life--a parental tirade followed by an improved grade.
    Meanwhile Wendy prepared a cookie-rich party to celebrate, presumably without having to be nagged into it by that same daughter.
    The moral? Sometimes people do good things without a preceding tirade. WooHoo!

    You just can't trust the Bible to keep a secret.

  7. FLN, with thanks for expressions of sympathy for our coyote problem.

    I am saddened to think of Misty's loss of her two dachshunds. I can sympathize because we lost two of our own little guys within the past year-and-a-half.

    That is what is leading us to take extraordinary measures--including 8-foot high fences and spike tops-- to defend against future invasions by predators.
    It should not have to be this way, but the growth of our cities makes coyotes more & more desperate.

  10. So sorry I didn't get a chance to thank you all for your neat productions and comments.

    Ol'Man Keith, what a scary riddle. Glad its based on an old classic and not current local family conflicts. But I loved your riddle verse, although as you can tell from my Wordle--this time I didn't figure out your clue. Hope I do better tomorrow. And many thanks for the kind comment about my verse!

    Owen, what a fascinating Ruth and Boaz story, offered to us in a graceful verse. I'll have to look it up sometime--so interesting!

    So glad you gave us a Wordle, CanadianEh!, and we wish you a great family weekend.

    You have a good one too, Wilbur!
