Todayโs Jumble haiku:
Certain medical conditions have a way of progressing automatically, from one level to the next, from the simple to the more complex.
Follow this (below), a path of increasing painโฆ
โStabbinโ Pr(ogr)essio(n)โ
Brickโs mild strain matures
to a sprain; and perhaps, next,
to a full CREST blain!

I had to earn it
PS, That's one complicated haiku, OMK
WC
"Flight Fright"
The pilot wanted to measure
the result of cabin pressure.
The plane was on a tour
of mature people on a cure
to help their sprain explain
that gave them pain on a plane.
But the flight was tough as a brick
and in the end made everyone sick.
At the crest of this troublesome quest
they all got off to get some rest.
The lesson they did gain
was never to fly again.
WC- you got it unscrambled faster than I did!

Follow the Yellow Brick Road
Close to his cabin in the woods
On a rock at the crest of the hill,
The mature youth
Twisted his ankle and felt ill.
โIt must be a sprain,โ he thought
And remembering what he was taught
While earning his Merit Badge,
He applied pressure.
Thereโs no place like home. Now for the ice!
OMK- I echo WC. That haiku is โdeepโ! Love pd the title (once I figured it out)
Misty- what a tour. No wonder they donโt want to fly again!
Misty ~ I used to fly a lot, when I was auditioning in NY for my Virginia theater, and when I was recruiting for UCIโs grad directors.
But no more. I refuse to get on another plane.
The service has deteriorated so terribly.
Even so, I doubt I ever had a flight that was as awful as the one your poem describesโas โtough as a brickโ!
โPain on a plane,โ โeveryone sickโโฆ
The passengers may have all resolved never to fly again, but letโs hope the pilot did too!

Woohoo! Woohoo! Once again, your Wordle hint to me was so perfect, that I got today's Wordle on my very first try, Ol' Man Keith. Here it is:

I see lots of messages from you and CanadianEh! but may not be able to answer them until after my nap. I'm exhausted, and my gardeners will be here and wake me up in no time. So will visit more later.
Excellent first responder treatment, CEh!
Your poem takes me back down the decades, to my own First Aid merit badge, earned at Camp Royaneh ca. 1954.
You tell it well.
Over the years, medical research keeps changing its view as to whether ice is the best immediate treatment, or heat.
All that seems consistent is to change the damn temperature.
Thanks to you and WC for evaluating the depth of my own morning verse.
I have to share credit with Merriam-Webster. I looked up Crest and found โCREST.โ And because of that, I found โblain.โ
Between Crosswords and Jumble, we do learn a lot.

Neat Monday morning haiku, Ol' Man Keith. Always amazes me how you get all four Jumble words and solution into your three lines plus title, but there they were once again, with a theme of growing pain. Had to look up BLAIN, a word I'd never encountered before: "an inflamed swelling or sore on the skin." The words you learn from your Jumble pals--thank you very much!
Sorry you've had such bad flying experiences that you might never get on a plane again. Hope you car still has a lot of mileage on it!
Loved the way you worked "cabin pressure" into the beginning and ending of your delightful verse, CanadianEh!. Hope the pressure helped alleviate your boy scout's pain.
Wilbur, you certainly merited a compact Wordle this morning--good for you!
The acronym CREST was new to me.
Quite a syndrome, โtough as a brickโ!
