ReplyDeleteFLN, CEh! ~ Correcto! I did not know Jeremy & Karen would be visiting when I began my Sunday ode.
He phoned Friday PM that they’d be passing through!
We had a lovely visit Sat afternoon.
Fortunately, my “holiday” starts late Saturday, so I was free to enjoy our time together.
The bed clothes were most comfy, heheheh, all day Sunday!

Today’s Jumble haiku:
(Those old dial-up internet services made quite a racket, sometimes compared to the vocalization of animal packs,
or the crackling noise of flaming torches, perhaps a barnyard of…)
“Many Burning Brands”
Some noisy modems
buffet the ears like hungry
colonies of wolves.

Certain sports require one to be cocky,
as when one dons the pads for ice hockey,
or to master a great steed as a jockey!
Without confidence, one’s play can be “….. .”

Mmm, I like ice cream gold,
ReplyDeletePies served hot, with a la mode!
Chocolate's best,
Then the rest,
To sample all is a rocky road!

Orijinz:
ReplyDeleteIt's good Zane Gray wrote Westerns
His comedies weren't his best 'uns.
Imagine his by-line
If his humor did chime:
"Zany" Zane Gray's latest turns!
Charlie had a brand-new plan
ReplyDeleteTo make a product in demand.
Bands in need of a demo tape
Could use a process he'd automate!
He'd market it thru a radio station
To every province, colony, and nation!
He'd demo his demo-demo app
And let it buffet his target saps!
No, not saps, they had to be good.
Poor performance wouldn't play in the 'hood.
Besides, to afford it, they'd learn,
They'd have to have money to burn!
My offering today may be seen as horrible or zany. Your choice, but I have warned you.
ReplyDeleteBunny to Mourn
Table set with Old Colony silverware,
Pot of stew on buffet as the fare,
Modem (brand new)streamed classical tunes,
Decorations of birthday balloons.
Guests would think that all was formal,
But the rocky aftermath would not be normal,
When the family comes to discover,
Their missing pet was in the Hasenpfeffer.
Owen- FLN- I had the O word hidden in line 2 also.
ReplyDeleteI hadn’t done the O (it only took a few seconds with your great clues) before I wrote my poem, but I worked it into my backstory.
Wonderful J poem today too. I smiled at the different meaning and pronunciation of buffet. Also that you were inspired by the Britishness of colony to include province.
Hopefully Charlie will make a tidy profit.
OMK- FLN- I’m glad to hear that you were able to have a nice family visit, and still have a day to relax.
Your haiku today brings back memories of those early computer days, and the frequent modem failures.
Misty should have a smooth road to the W today.
"Pair Dare"
ReplyDeleteThe couple's products were much in demand
because they'd developed a new cell-phone brand.
Along with an inventive modem
they also designed a new totem.
They built a home for a colony of ants
and designed a new shape for denim pants.
Then the husband ordered a buffet
to celebrate his wife's fiftieth birthday.
Their lives became more and more sunny,
as the couple made more and more money.
Oh, No-o-o!
ReplyDeleteSay it ain't so, CEh!
Even with your clever title, I wasn't prepared for your final line.
It mightn't have been quite so bad if the family'd learned of the... er, assassination before dining.
But to let them indulge, and then--!
(It's just a joke. I get it. Ah, but still...)
My, my, Misty!
What a brilliant pair! Creating fresh gadgets and gimmicks in a variety of fields, even including an ant farm and new jeans...
No wonder they raked in the moolah!
~ OMK
Misty- your couple certainly were inventive. And your colony referred to ants. Interesting how we each interpret the J words. Similar variances with buffet.
ReplyDeleteOMK- I did warn you all that my poem had a horrible ending. Of course, you need to be able to figure out (or guess) the German word. My DH raised rabbits for sale in his youth. I refuse to eat or cook them, so he orders it if on the menu when we dine out. I have read pioneer, war or depression farm stories where an animal raised as a pet was used as the family’s food. And those 4H youths must beware of getting too attached to their beef cattle. But I do think that must be a terrible situation.
Ol' Man Keith, I loved your hockey verse today, which also gave me my Wordle:

Thank you so much for that gift!
Owen, wish we could be able to listen to one of Charlie's demo tapes. Bet one of them had good music!
ReplyDeleteCanadianEh!, oh dear, as you warned us, your Bunny verse sure did have a very sad ending. But it made me look up "Hasenpfeffer," a word I knew from growing up in my German-speaking household, but which I didn't know was a spice that could be used in recipes. The things I learn on this blog--a delight!
