Today’s Jumble haiku: Another Day in Church.

“Sun Revolve(d.)”
Then…
the pastor vaulted
a kettle of ripe herbs; then
snorted one to sleep.

Be part of the solution,
Share your Patty-cake
Take your savings from the vault
Don’t snort at the “down and out”.
It’s not fun to be considered at fault.
Donate to the charity kettle
Make your pastor proud.

Given the middle 3 and the obvious #5 I avoided B(#1) because we had that already
I think.
Yes, C-eh, I know the word you eschewed

"Pastor Careers"
The pastor was a radio broadcaster,
a skill at which he was a master.
His comments sometimes received a snort
but he'd respond with a kind retort.
After work he'd feel in fine fettle
and make himself tea in is kettle.
When his program came to a halt,
he had savings in his vault
that solved his problem, and let him run
for office, a job he considered fun,
as he would say, making a pun.
Woohoo! Woohoo! I got today's Wordle on my very first try, thanks to Ol' Man Keith's extremely helpful hint this morning. I wasn't sure about the double consonant but took a chance and luckily selected the right one! Woohoo! What a great morning! Thank you, OMK!

I enjoyed your verse CEh!. You treated your pastor with a little more respect than I did.
I'm not sure how risquรฉ you were heading with your Wordle. I don't think of you as possessing a nasty mind.
Misty ~ I think today's poem is one of your finer creations, nicely tracing your radio pastor's career from punditry to politics, & doing so mainly in couplets, saving your triple whammy for the pay-off!
Brava!
As for Wordle, always glad I can help.

Wilbur ~ Was MATTE your next-to-last Wordle?
Hard to think of many double consonant words that don't end in "y."
(Or "s." But Wordle seems to avoid plurals.)

Just F.Y.I., Since this new intro is the same every day except Sunday, I've pre-set-up the blog thru Saturday. I'll have to modify it for Sunday, but I've got the week to do that! I may also add a bell or whistle.
The pastor always took a snort from his tea kettle
Before vaulting into the pulpit, in fine fettle!
The congregation wondered
How his sermons thundered?
It was solved when he passed -- it was pungent tea treacle!
Thank you for your kind response, Ol' Man Keith. By the way, which of the ripe herbs did your pastor snort to help him get back to sleep? Makes me wonder what sort of ripe herbs my Melatonin contains?
CanadianEh!, which ripe herbs are you donating to that charity kettle?
I guess if we really want to find some powerful ripe herbs we're going to have to ask Owen's pastor. Treacle? Molasses? Glutamate? No wonder he was so thunderous.
Wilbur, what sort of ripe herbs do Chet and Lois enjoy?
Another day where everyone was in great form. It must be those ripe herbs. I must try my lemon thyme!
But that pastor may come to Rue his snorting.
OMK- my risquรฉ Wordle entry was an item of lingerie. Nothing too nasty.
CEh! ~ You had me panting in anticipation.
My thanks to you and to Wilbur for plugging my haiku over on the Corner! Much appreciated.
Owen ~ I believe your treacle-imbibing pastor is following in a fine tradition among clergymen.
It can be hard otherwise to find the right inspiration every Sunday a.m.
~ OMK
Again I'm combining Tuesday with Wednesday
For the latter you can try to guess the jumbles unseen

"Lois, dear, I'll put on the kettle for tea , it isn't often that we get to talk
I remember your school days with the pompoms, you were quite a gal
Then later you had a stormy time, it all came as a quite a shock
Until suddenly back in my life, and even better, completely rational"
"I've locked up the past into the vault , I'm through making a stir
Today I enjoy seeing Chet snort when I said
'We must meet with the pastor'
He quickly calmed down and said 'It'll be a great honor'"
Chet then remarked, with one of his typical puns,
"I wouldn't put it past her"
I was moonstruck when I first laid eyes on this brown eyed pixie
Shoot , she solved my problems and I'm not just whistling Dixie".

Keen observation, OMK. Yes I did indeed try MATTE.
I avoided BATTY because we'd had it I believe.
Misty, I'd say that having fun running for office is more an oxymoron than a pun.
And I see our generation with the exception of Misty were well acquainted with "herbs" and serving them in tea was one way to "vault".

Wordle should have a cc. That seemed < 3 minutes
Clock now cc
Speaking of CC... The question of Misty as author reminded me of this

Finch,Douse, Feisty, Unlike;
Shuffled in
--------
We shuffled into class at the Ed building, Finch hall,
Ready to be doused in literature an hour in her thrall
For yes, it was Ms Norris that would guide in the mysteries of Joyce
Unlike any prof we'd had in Econ, she was feisty but sweet of voice
We heard about diverse theoretical perspectives and
Oppositional contextualization
Bored we were but we got misty-eyed at the melodious peroration

That was Chet reminiscing about his college days
Wow! Wow! Wilbur, I can't remember that anyone has ever penned a poem with my name in it! No, not ever, at least not in my memory. So your gift above just blew my mind! Thank you so much for that.
Of course I copied it and transferred it to my Personal file. Woohoo! A poem about me! Thank you again. I'm so glad I gave this Jumble site a last check before going to bed. What a gift!
