Today’s Jumble haiku:
(Historically, there were several evolutions of dragons. Only the most recent were efficient predators.
Earlier, they often went hungry. Sometimes they’d roll dice to see which ones would got to eat.
The “chanciness” at meal time…)
“Dates this ‘Winner’”
The inept dragon
strings its prey along while it
tries appetizers.
~ OMK
Cinderella had a pumpkin, cored,
One that became a gourd and four.
Accouterments
Cum subservients
Held for her the golden door.

Hunters who violate rules have been known to poach.
A hipster who smokes weed may roll his own roach.
A dad may help his son’s team by serving as “….. .”

Owen gives us an acrostic and a different meaning for the W. (I smiled at the subservients holding the door.)
OMK, as usual, gives Misty plenty of rhyming words.
It was not a good choice for a first date, where the woman was treated to “Address to a Haggis” as it was a night to-
Date its Inner
The evening began to drag on,
While an inept waiter lagged on,
The first string diners gagged on
That nasty sausage that snagged on
Their throats as it approached.
Things needed to be better coached
At the Burns supper that was bragged on.
OMK- great dragon haiku. You took the title in a slightly different direction than I did. My title relies on a rudimentary knowledge of the traditional composition of that Scottish national dish.
I think I have had my fill of yucky food this week.
"Timely Tour"
Debbie was quite inept
which put her in serious debt.
She tried for loans to file,
but got nothing for quite a while.
Then a friend gave her a toy dragon
and she hooked it up with a wagon.
Its picture sold and managed to bring
her some cash she did carefully string.
One night Debbie went out to eat dinner
and met a man who seemed like a winner.
The next day they started to date,
And Debbie now has a generous mate.
Thank you, thank you, Ol' Man Keith, I love being able to get your Wordle:

Always a great gift, many thanks.
Ol' Man Keith, your verse certainly keeps track of a few rule-breakers. Hope they get some advice to mend their ways.
CanadianEh!, the author of your verse may have ate his dinner, but it was certainly not a savory event. I bet he split and wrote the place a bad review.
Owen, Your Cinderella is very lucky. Hope she appreciates her good fortune.
Enjoy a comfortable afternoon, everybody.
Huh?
I guess you mean my rhymes for you, Misty. That first line deals with a rule breaker, although the other lines don't.
(The hipster is legit here in California; the dad is hardly a rule breaker.)
Your comment doesn't seem to match my haiku at all--unless I am missing something.
Your Debbie seems fortunate in her friends, first a pal who helps her make a sellable picture, and then of course a husband who treats her generously.
No need for that loan! Bills Paid!!
Ho, ho. CanadianEh! Great gaggin' haggis!!
Fun to read, and to imagine the suffering...
You remind me of a Bobbie Burns Night I was invited to celebrate when I lived in Virginia.
Happily, I did not have to eat haggis, just read some poetry by (and for) the eponymous event.
~ OMK
Misty- poor inept Debbie with a debt and more credit for a loan. Her Etsy site must have garnered her a good income for that dragon with a wagon picture. Who would have guessed it. But as OMK notes, her luck in finding a generous husband has really saved the day.
OMK- I’m glad you enjoyed the memories my poem evoked, especially since they don’t include actually eating haggis.
Keith, you're right that the Dad in your haiku is a good father. But I figured smoking weed and poaching hunted animals were, if not illegal, not exactly proper. But what do I know?
Sorry I got your haiku so wrong today.
