Today’s Jumble haiku:
“(The) Thug-in-Ben”
Ben-the-Giant’s grime
speaks highly of criminal
ways. He’ll mumble too…

It’s time to do the Wordle Dance,
like crazy ants
inside our pants!
Sing a song, “Hey Diddy-diddy!”
G. Gordon Liddy!
Let’s all get “….. !”

"Defiant Defendant"
The attorney was a political giant
and in this case was quite defiant.
He insisted the man who was charged with the crime
should definitely have to do prison time.
This made the defendant mumble
that the grime on his floor
had made no one stumble.
He accused the lawyer of bugging him
and said he felt like slugging him.
The judge found it highly unlikely
that a dirty floor was a crime,
and gave the man's comment a small fine
instead of making him do prison time.

Tugging (and) Bemused
“Why is my mother so fussy?”
Mumbles the boy, all grimy and mussy,
Dragging his bucket of giant frogs,
Giddy from his highly pleasant day in the bogs.
Great W clues for you today Misty.
I’m glad you saw my late post yesterday, and knew that I hadn’t deserted you.
OMK- we went different ways with our difficult title choices. Yours was closer to a Spooner, but harder to maneuver. A grimy criminal giant who mumbles - what a combo.
Misty created a political giant of an attorney. But imagine wanting to press for a prison sentence for a grimy floor. Thankfully the judge was more realistic. But threatening to slug an attorney will never get you on the right side of the law. The defendant was fortunate to receive only a fine.
Owen- thanks for the jigsaw (finished in 3:46) and poem. Birches are a favourite of mine. I have always thought it interesting to imagine what any older trees have seen beneath their limbs.
Yes, it is amusing, CEh! ~ to see how the title game steers us in separate paths. I had to create my "Thug."
At first I was going to use the "grime" to speak of his honest labors, along the popular theory that virtuous toil leaves a dirty, sweaty residue.
But then I realized that a thug's grime must speak of a quite opposite source! That did away with irony & any sense of originality.
Your poem manages to keep good humor by offering the differing VPs of mother & child. That kid won't be quite so bemused when he presents his bucket to his fussy mom.
Congrats on getting today's Wordle in 3! Now you can go back and do the Wordle dance with my hinting poem.
I had more fun concocting it than today's haiku! (Do Canadians recall Gordon Giddy?!)
Misty ~ Your judge and attorneys can get incensed over a civil matter. Whether or not the floor grime caused someone to stumble, it doesn't seem that both sides can reach satisfaction. The verdict appears to be "guilty," but the judge is determined to mitigate the punishment.
That "political giant" in the opening stanza is not going to sleep well tonight!
~ OMK
Enjoyed your jigsaw, Owen!
My time is not quite as wondrous as CanadianEh's. There is a seven minute gap between us!
I just realized that doing a jigsaw with an astigmatism presents a bit of a problem--what with the straight lines of the edges appearing to be wavy...
(I shall try the next one with fewer pieces, if I can figure out how to adjust the number...)

Ol' Man Keith, I loved your Wordle Dance this morning!
It made me as giddy as CanadianEh!'s boy dragging his bucket of giant frogs. Would love to have seen a picture of that.
Owen, I guess I'll have to leave this page to see your Jigsaw Puzzle. Hope I can make it back and make a comment.
Hope you're all enjoying this sunny Labor Day weekend, when all our labor today seems to be funny!
Owen, I looked up your pareidolia and learned it was "a specific and often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern." And yes, I agree, your image could be a "Birch Tree in Snowfall," although I would almost have thought of it being in the rain, with all those round drops falling down. Very interesting. I love the things I learn on this blog.
OMK- yes, that Wordle dance is quite “moving”.
I did the daily jigsaw on the app for a while. That undoubtedly has increased my online jigsaw solving skills. I just do the 30 piece puzzle that comes up. And I find all the edge pieces first. I can see that having the straight edges appear to be wavy would certainly slow down the solve.
Misty- I am glad neither of my boys brought home frogs. But they did get quite dirty sometimes.
