Today’s Jumble haiku:
ReplyDelete(The Detroit Library has hired guards to enforce the rule against noisy chatter. Several guards are ex-railroaders, who use track pikes to punch open cans of Stroh’s Beer on their break times.
They are always happy to …)
“Pike a Stroh’s!”
The guards will expel
all who engage in gossip.
“Knotty, knotty*—Tsk!”

Today’s Wordle relates to something I used to teach.
It reminds me of a favorite poem, “Do I dare to eat a peach?”
If old T.S. could rhyme it, it can’t be beyond my reach.
I recall he amused himself, taking a “walk upon the “….. .”

Orijinz:
ReplyDeleteBatman investigated Lizzie Borden,
Found he believed her reportin'.
Bruce would take her to soirรฉes
Reporters were swarmies,
The tabloids called them "Whacks and Wayne".
If you want a place to cool down in the heat,
ReplyDeleteThere might be a chance to cool your feet.
In a mountain rill,
With a glacial chill.
Or at a fireplug on your own little street!

Sheriff String was well respected around town,
ReplyDeleteBut son Kyte, was another matter indeed.
The sheriff had a quiet, restrained renown,
The youth bragged loudly of a string of misdeeds!
He'd been sent East to a school so haughty,
But he got expelled in his first semester.
Gossip was that young String was knotty!
He got tangled up with a female professor.
Now he was in town, and a strongbox was due.
Would he wind up tied to outlaw trouble again?
The stage coach came, and the guard was new.
Kyte spun him a line, as from the banking chain.
Sheriff String said, "Strike the posse.
I'll get the boy, or my name ain't Flossy!"
I finally arrived at the seashore

"Tough Job"
ReplyDeleteFor years Harry worked very hard
to do a good job as a guard.
He had knotty decisions to make
that stirred gossip and kept him awake.
He hoped to do everything well,
but found it hard non-citizens to expel.
And he worried what role he would play,
if a strike made him lose his pay.
In the end he did well and was never fired
and at sixty he thankfully and happily retired.
I wonder if Harry was one of my library guards, Misty.
ReplyDeleteIf so, he may have been troubled by “naughty decisions,” before he learned proper spelling.
But maybe, if he felt his job was so tough, he just kept scolding chatty customers on his way to a happy retirement!
Owen’s Sheriff String has a different problem with a naughty son getting knotted up with a lady faculty member at his school—and then leaving a “string of misdeeds,” sadly damaging the old man’s legacy along with his!
String Senior is determined to smooth his son’s knotty reputation.

Thanks to you all for the smiles today. I had no time to be creative, but we all had fun.
ReplyDeleteI kinda liked my little haiku today.
ReplyDeleteA rare Spoonerism. Woo hoo.
Owen's Sheriff was on a fine track. Strings and knots were on their way to sharing some funny moments.
Guard Harry was Misty's conscientious union member, and he seems to have shared my care for undocumented folk.
Glad CEh reached her coastline in the end.
I hope Misty can use our diligent hints.
Heck, I'll give us some feedback.

Thank you all for your delightful and kind comments. See you tomorrow.
