WELCOME TO THE TRUE PAGE FOR
6 Sept. 2022!
My apologies for missing a day this week. I have now set up pages thru Sept. 30.
The Black Dog of depression has been dogging me this week, so I am dropping out for a few days. If nothing else, I'll be back Sept. 30 to set up for October.
Thank you, Owen!
I can appreciate how disabling that “Black Dog” can be, which adds greatly to the gratitude I feel.
I’m sure I speak for all of us:
Thank you many times over!

Today’s Jumble haiku:
”Weaselly Business”
Dirk dodged that “business”
of ferrets, then borrowed square
hutches to herd them.

I was teased by today's

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
OMK, knowing my methods can you guess my #2? C-eh???
My solving approach tends to put me in a hole but also the final solution is often the only solution
WC
Misty, re. "Woohoo" fln...
That was a hint to the wordle solution: WHOOP
I leave a hint when I post wordle. I also use a J-word to start if it contains no E as in HUTCH this morning
Granted my hints are obscure. C-eh, does more than hint. His are in the true Jumble blog tradition
My son and I had a discussion re. Today's W, perhaps I can versify it and give C&L a break
WC
Fortunately, not having a salacious reputation like Canadians are wont to have* my posts don't get censored. Likewise, Keith being from the theater, the watchdogs keep a close eye on him too
Misty is too sweet to ever deal with innuendo of the silky sort . But...
If they ever knew she was a Joycian aficionado they'd come down hard
WC
** C-eh, it's the French influence, eh?. I hope that robot doesn't take offense to our teasing it
Splendid today

Get Along Little Doggie
Have you heard the story
Of Dodge in its glory?
Cows were herded through the square,
There was not a hutch to spare,
No time to borrow,
No thinking of tomorrow.
Lost markets will taunt you.
Owen- thank you for all that you do. Hope you feel better soon.
WC- I’m guessing you used the first J-word as guess #1. Then maybe Tutor?
(My pronouns are “she, her, hers”)
I doubt that robot has any feelings. But then again, it would never censor our sweet Misty!
OMK- your ferrets probably fit better into the hutches than my cattle. I suppose I could have used the “bull in the China shop” phrase with the other meaning of hutches. Hmm? Shall I rewrite my poem?
Bulls in the China Shop
No square inch was left unbroken.
The herd failed to dodge
The hutch of fragile tokens
Borrowed from past times.
We heard the taunts
That were flaunted.
“Sic transit gloria mundi”
My verse regards my son's experience that got him a suspension
----------
The Hutchinson school playground was an active spot 'round ten
The nine year olds shed pent-up energy at tag or dodge if that's their ken
As boys are wont to do our pair's game was more push and shove
The squares of the herd could not detect what was actually brotherly love
Or to borrow from the the words of the wonks, an ism was applied
Though no code words were heard the verdict was cut and dried
For the well meaning faculty were upset and taken aback
For one child was blond and blue-eyed the other's skin was black
Because the first child was color blind and the other had no friend
Hence normal playground feistiness spelled trouble for a racial blend
WC
C-eh, you were close. It was UTTER
"New Home"
Harry had to leave his hutch
on the order of a judge.
Where would he live tomorrow
if he could no money borrow?
A friend invited him to his lodge
allowing him his problems to dodge.
So Harry now has a new lair
living with his friend in a village square.
Each morning when he heard the song of a bird
a prayer of thanks was in him stirred.
Dear Owen, so sorry to hear about your depression. Hope you can get some medication, and take good care of yourself. I will keep you in my prayers.
Good morning, Ol' Man Keith. Enjoyed your haiku, and, as always, couldn't believe that they were all there: all four Jumble words and solution! Great job! P.S. Would love to get a Wordle hint from you, if possible.
Wilbur, thank you for your many kind words about me, and for giving me a Wordle hint. I'll try it as soon as I can. But so sorry to hear about your son's sad school experience, and for the sad verse it inspired. I will keep your son in my prayers today too.
And, CanadianEh!, you too worked all Jumble words and solution into your delightful verse--thank you for that gift too.
Here’s my W hint for the day, Misty .
(As always, held back until the hintless have had their say…)
Wordle 444 Hint: One syllable, a verb and noun; to mock in a provocative manner.

Looks like Misty’s Harry is a lad of simple needs.
He dwelt at first in a habituation normally too small for human life, then made his peace sharing space with a generous pal.
In said latter residence, his only known delight (sans TV, maybe even lacking a record player) was morning birdsong.
Let’s hope he paid at least part of his share, or weeded his friend’s yard, … or something.
He is fortunate to be remembered in well-made verse.
Was that your son’s actual experience, WC? I take it the faculty’s word was “racism,” although such nasty intent was never in the boy’s heart. We live in an era of reaction, often appropriately so, but sometimes a label too quickly & overly applied.
As for your W guessing challenge, I guess you spilled the beans too soon with UTTER. I was working at it, and had only got so far as NUTTY…
BTW, I haven’t been censored here (despite my gypsy theater rep), and only had technical trouble yesterday on the Corner.
Hey, CEh! I enjoyed both your poems. You caught on quickly enough as to the proper (small, contained) size of a true “hutch.” We often have to do some quick research (via Google!) on the day’s J-words & incidentals. (I would never have found that business of ferrets’ “business” otherwise.)
Your cattle ended up smashing china (appropriately) instead of dodging miniature corrals (inappropriately) in Dodge! Your adaptability is superb!
~ OMK
I’m guessing your 2nd try was TEASE, Misty.
Don’t tantalize me now…
~ OMK
Yes, the incident was nearly 25 years ago. Ironically what is deemed "black and white" is not so.
Catholic nuns exercised another "ism": They considered lefthanded children sons of the devil, right out of the 13th century catechism
Then again the Golf world frowned on lefties too. I had a "devil" of a time finding Lefty clubs
My son, btw, had played with two black children when he was 5 and also Asian children.
WC
BTW, all you Wordelies: that 444-number is the sign of Satan!
Or not!
I just Googled it to be sure, and there is much back-and-forth on the web about whether 444 is a devilish symbol (as I was once led to believe),
or else a sign of favoritism from God!
The opposing factions cannot settle the issue; they're just TAUNTing us lay-persons to decide.
~ OMK
You're right, OMK--my second try was TEASE. What I wasn't expecting was that the word would have two of the same consonants. That was a surprise. But thanks again for your help--could not have found the right word without it.
I thought that would make it too easy, since the one before had a doubled vowel.
I started to get anxious

I actually had B as #1 on 4th try. I was being silly; the actual solution obviously was better
But maybe not as tasty or less filling
