  1. Today’s Jumble haiku:
    (In this case,”to Dun” is to insist that we reheat and overboil the same coffee that started the month. The “rear life” is the form of existence that is “behind the front,” and so less appealing, including the imbibing of stale beverages….)

    Dun for Rear Life

    Heaven forbid this
    coffee be rerun—again!
    It yields nothing good.

    I once worked as a short order cook.
    It wasn’t my favorite; I didn’t like the look
    of my apron fouled with grease. I’d open a book
    on break time & seek fresh air by a babbling “….. .”

  3. They were going on vacation!
    But to what a primitive location!
    Father did insist
    He intended to fish,
    And he'd brook no complaints nor agitation!

  4. Orijins :
    The Roman soldier was dressed for display!
    Copper armor to protect human clay!
    Let some town see their stuff,
    They would forthwith give up,
    And thus would soldiers earn their pay!

  5. What will be the result of a mashup of two movies - The Girl Next Door, King Lear - with a backup score of Fife and Drum?

    Door, Lear, Fife

    God forbid we should need a rerun,
    Enjoy your coffee and join the fun.
    Pick two movies from any field,
    Turn on the AI mixer and see the yield.
    Don’t brook any complaint,
    A usual screenplay it ain’t.

  6. FLN- sorry I did not get back to comment. Enjoyed reading you all.

    Owen gives us another meaning for the W. (I’m afraid I plagiarized it for my J poem.)
    Misty- OMK has left the W hanging there at the end of his poem for you to grab. Go for it.

    OMK- that J answer led us to different titles today. Great back story. I must admit mine is crazy.

    Owen- I got the Origins in 11 seconds after a careful reading of your poem. Let me mimic Misty with a loud WooHoo!

  7. "Deer Cheer"

    Ronnie had a lot of fun
    working on his new re-run.
    This put him in a whole new field
    and he hoped would good ratings yield.

    At the start, the producers did forbid
    him to make the program about a kid.
    So Ronnie drank coffee and lots of beer
    to produce a show about a deer.
    It was queer but still got lots of cheer.

    It was inspired by Ronnie's wife
    and became the highlight of his life.

  8. Woohoo! Woohoo! Ol' Man Keith's generous hint once again helped me get today's Wordle in a single try:

  10. Congrats Misty! And WC re Wordle.

    Misty- Ronnie had a good result from all that beer, producing a queer deer with lots of cheer. I’m not touching that one with a ten foot pole! But wait - the deer was inspired by Ronnie’s wife! Boy, we are all in crazy moods today. Thanks for the smiles.
    But at least you and I are rerunning movies; OMK is rerunning coffee. Yuck!
    What is Owen going to give us?

  11. OMK, now that you're not working as a cook anymore, hope you're able to get some good coffee and have a good rest of the day.

    Owen, hope you were able to have some fun while Father was preoccupied with his fishing.

    CanadianEh!, sadly I don't know any of your three movies, but let's watch some TV anyway, if we have a bit of free time.

    Wilbur, so glad to see you back today. We really missed you on Sunday.

    Have a great week coming up, everybody.

  12. Never was a cook, Misty!
    But once an actor, always...
    Anyway, glad it worked foryou!

    Funny: you went the route of an actor, hoping to manage his rerun to adults by guzzling grown-up's beverages.

    CanadianEh! I see how you're aiming to make a mash-up of the unlikely (if not the impossible).
    I would suppose combining "King Lear" and "The Girl Next Door"would end up pointing in the direction of Cordelia. But her name alone would seem to contradict any "girl next door."
    Still, she's the only good one in Ol' Will's Bevy o'Beauties.
    In my production (the one I staged, not the one I was in), Cordelia was more like Jeanne d'Arc than, say, Doris Day.
    But whatcha gonna do wid summa-dese J-words!?

    I wondered, Owen if anyone would brook no other's right to use brook as in "put up with."
    Which causes me to wonder if anyone ever brooks positively nowadays, as in "the ACLU fervently brooks your right to vote--and to have it counted!"
