Today’s Jumble hahiku:
(Even with today’s lenient parenting, there are limits, and some kids have been known to exceed them.
When this happens, the consequences can be dire, especially when it’s a teen who’s been…)
“Utter(ly) Wound (Up)”
Unruly brats are
about to make their piqued folks
adopt a curfew.

Sometimes the truth is stretched and altered as groups give info that may be
Round About
The unruly crowd
Broke the curfew.
They yelled aloud
And hate did spew.
No noble stance did they adopt.
The memes and slogans they did strew
Put terror which could not be stopped.
OMK- I loved your haiku. And you used yesterdays Wordle. And those parents may find it hard to impose rules on kids who have been allowed to run wild in the preteen years.
"Mean Teen"
We heard the neighbors yell and shout
but didn't know what it was about.
It turned out they had adopted a teen
who was unruly and often mean.
So they gave the kid a strict curfew
which did manage to get him to subdue.
The boy now cleans the gutter,
but to putter makes him mutter.
Yet he now has friends who can hang around,
and next fall he'll be off and college-bound.
No matter how much yelling & shouting, no unruly teen in a Misty poem is beyond redemption!
Sure enough, this muttering kid is off to college in the closing couplet.
(Probably to major in Sociology...)
CanadianEh! ~ Glad you enjoyed my little effort, and I hope Misty spots yesterday's W.
(It wasn't an easy one, but how hard can it ever get?)
Your poem sounds a warning about the terror that can be wrought by mob action, by the sort of crowd that seeks demagogues for "leaders," and, under the worst provocations, becomes a "lynch mob."
~ OMK
Misty- oh my, another unruly child today (May we give the kid some leniency for being adopted and perhaps having had some bad experiences, and is acting out?). But with some good parenting and firm rules, it seems that he is settling in to the family. (Well, I would mutter at cleaning the gutter and puttering.) Let’s hope that his college experience sets him on the road to a successful future.
OMK- I hid the P word from the J reveal in my poem today, and used a slightly different approach for the title. But all the J words, the W and the O words are in the poem. They went together somewhat easier today.
Woohoo! Woohoo! You helped me get the Wordle today, CanadianEh!, many thanks

Ol' Man Keith, I miss the days when you used to give us a brief verse with a hidden Wordle as the last . . . . . word.
Ol' Man Keith and CanadianEh!, thank you both for your great contributions today, and for your very kind comments about my poem too. Have a great weekend coming up!
