Today’s Jumble haiku:
(Those responsible for overnight truck deliveries may have a hard time keeping awake. “It can drive you crazy,” says one, “while turning you into a batch of raw nerves. It can make you absolutely nuts!”
A new discovery says the liquid pressed from certain berries can be a real help…)
“Awake, Elated”
Elderberry juice
keeps truck drivers awake on
long “basket case” hauls!

Our shopper was tardy and missed the deli sale, but paradoxically is
Reject Elated
The elderly grocery cart driver
Had orange juice in the basket;
No jerk chicken - too spicy and too pricy -
He only had a fiver.
But no need to blow a gasket.
"Silly Gift"
The elder driver was a jerk
who nearly collided on his way to work.
He carried a bottle of juice in a basket
that he had won in a really bad bet.
In the end, the juice he donated
to a cousin to whom he was related.
(Sometimes the Jumble words lead to the silliest verse)
OMK- great haiku, title and theme (plus a wonderfully descriptive backstory). The J reveal was difficult to Spooner, the J words were hard to join into a logical offering. I smiled at your elderberry juice.
I took my driver to the grocery store. Belatedly I realized I had not used the W, but it was useful for my backstory. Since I didn’t feel that my title reflected the one reveal word, I worked it into my poem. It was the best I could come up with today.
Let’s see where Misty goes.
Oh my, Misty posted while I was typing.
Yes, today’s words did lead to much silliness. I’m wondering what exactly was in that “juice”. Hopefully the cousin will not drink and drive.
Thanks for the smile.
CanadianEh!, looks like we both had elder drivers carrying juice in a basket. At least yours carried orange juice--not elderberry juice like Ol' Man Keith's truck driver.
When I started my haiku, IK wasn't sure there was a market for elderberry juice. When I googled, I found not only a big market for it, but also that it is claimed to keep drinkers alert!
How 'bout that?
CanadianEh! ~ Right, those words didn't give us much freedom. I note the similarity in our titles.
Your and Misty's aging drivers differed mainly in the types of their vehicles. Yet they both conveyed liquid items in a basket. (I believe my drivers were delivering long semi loads of fresh-cut lumber.)
Still, I admire your rhymes (and how you snuck the W into your opener). Misty's "silliest verse" was fun too/

Thank you for your neat and cheerful comments, OMK, much appreciated.
