  1. Today’s Jumble haiku:
    (Refunds are routine when SFX designers need “a noise like thunder” but get a poor approximation.
    Rob’s FX were sounding weak, so refunds were driving his upkeep too high, with each…)

    Dunder Rebate

    Upkeep has begun
    to cost more through the decade.
    The trend is too rich!

    It’s fun to roll downhill in a barrel,
    and to dress up in fancy dress apparel.
    At Christmas, we like to sing a “ ….. . “

  3. At Yule they go from door to door,
    up spirits with their score!
    Of heavenly light
    Come in the night,
    A hymn, a song, encore!

  4. "Staying Open"

    Opening the bakery had begun
    to give the village a new trend,
    serving people breakfast with a bun
    and fresh pots of coffee blend.

    The shop had been going for a decade
    when its income began to fade
    and trying to manage its upkeep
    became difficult and steep.

    So keeping it open was under debate
    but closing it would be a difficult fate.
    Customers still did its cakes highly rate.
    This helped to keep the bakery open,
    and it remains a village token.

  5. Many thanks for your helpful hint this morning, Ol' Man Keith, which helped me to get today's Wordle on a single try. Makes me look forward to Christmas:

  6. Misty~ Your village bakery gives a new meaning to "token," as it now seems to be a prize (!) rather than a mere skeletal gesture.

    Glad again to help with Wordle. Today's W was EZ to rhyme.

    My son and his bride will be visiting (from Arkansas) in a few minutes. Signing off for now...
