  1. Today’s Jumble haiku:
    (This time the captain of the Union re-enacters aimed to win at First Bull Run.
    They weren’t so bold in ‘61, but who’ll blame him for grabbing a few upset hours—as the hero?
    He has his speech all ready to present to the court martial jury. It might be a little soupy, a little over-soppy, but might as well be…)

    Sob Jury-Icky

    This was the juicy
    object of his revival:
    whose heart had not been bold.

    The actor was glad to get a role, a cameo,
    in a movie about a re-enactment law-deal,
    called “The Happy Life of Counselor Claudio.”
    They recalled him to re-speak his line—for the “ ….. .”

  5. Subject -Yer Kitty

    Only a very rare feline,
    Whose appetite is finicky,
    Will object to juicy tidbits so fine.
    Tastes may vary -
    Vive la diffรฉrence!

  6. Owen- I loved your Wordle emojis.

    OMK- great title and backstory on your haiku. The J answer was difficult to make a Spooner. Let’s hope that your deserters get a fair trial and a compassionate release.

  7. "Loose News"

    When Luke wrote an article about Lucy
    he made it surprisingly juicy.
    His excuse was that he had read in the news
    some stories whose views were loose.

    Lucy did vehemently object
    and did reparation collect.
    Her reputation did thankfully revive,
    and she gave the press a "high five."

    Her security was now back in place,
    and she was once again treated with grace.

  8. Misty- poor juicy Lucy. In a time that “loose news” seems to go uncontested, it is refreshing to se that Lucy was able to be compensated, plus revive her reputation. Wa hat a gracious woman to give the press a high-five after all that drama.

  9. You were smart to stick with your not-too-hungry kitty, CEh! as she allowed you to squeeze all the words into a tight 5-liner. My even-tighter format is what demanded my weird backstory.
    I am not sure which of our titles is the weirder!

    Misty played it safe with a classic format—a whatever-rhymes title atop two quatrains formed from couplets, with a final couplet to punctuate. Always a cool way to tell a tale.
    Her subject, Lucy, may be a sharp stand-in for Jean Carroll, who prevailed against Donald J. U-Know-Who!

    Owen ~ Mics & speakers, mics & speakers, everywhere ya look! I wonder what W they could suggest…?
    I started my 802 search with my old fave, ADIEU.
