Today’s Jumble haiku:
(In the ‘70s, Detroit went out of its way to come up with new & different hood ornaments.
Some of them were as ugly as…)

Cremains To Be Seen

LeBaron made me
wince. When dressy pentagons
emerged, I went, “Ugh!”

What on earth is there left to chide
when there’s no more time that’s left to bide?
I’ll take the groom’s part, and you’ll be the “ ….. . “

The bride emerged from the carriage,
Her dress yellowed with age;
The baron escorted her down the aisle
And gave his permission -
She winced at the tradition.
Only the thought of the honeymoon on a tropical isle
Had gotten her into the Royal lineage.

OMK, the bot won’t publish my poem. Can you find it?

"Noble News"

The baron received many hints
that made him shudder and wince.
The up-coming ball would be dressy
but preparations were already messy.

Many press reporters had begun to emerge,
and the newspaper columns would wildly surge.
But whether the baron would marry the queen,
that still remains to be seen.

Woohoo! Woohoo! Today's Wordle worked for me today, thanks to O' Man Keith's helpful clue:

Thank you, so much, for this gift. Reminds me of my wedding those many decades ago.

CanadianEh! ~ Sorry, I didn’t check in any sooner—and just saw your request a few minutes ago.
Now that we have your bride’s reasoning, I think we understand the appeal of a tropical island.
Most of us would do a lot, even if it means going on “Wheel of Fortune,” to be sent to St. Croix or Aruba!

Misty ~ I am glad again that I could help. I was thinking of taking a break, but today’s W was too easy to pass up.
Your wedding poem puts the focus more on the groom—the Baron, that is, in his role as potential bridegroom.
It remains to be seen if a tropical isle will work on him.

No Owen, I see. Maybe just an unannounced break day. I think my preference for announcing such days in advance is clear. But it does lock one in….
