Today’s Jumble haiku:
(The annual masked ball is considered the most fashionable event of the season. It is sponsored by the Bridgerton Fraternity, a group of dangerous but apparently untouchable mobsters.
In fine style, they all dress in black tie with discretely bejeweled eye masks.
Happily, they parade their fine clothes & disguises!
Admission to this select Order calls for an initiation ceremony, with a fairly invasive frisking…)
“Pat a Hood’s Joint”
[All Shouting, Overlapping]
“Tuxe-[Do]-Minos!”
Masked men gloat their garb, each a
patch of elegance!

FLN, Wilbur ~ Thank you for checking F’bk on Owen. We knew he was in a hospital or rehab, and his last message said he was in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Unfortunately, we don’t know the name of the facility.
We can hope he is receiving good care and close attention. But I do not know why he would be kept from communicating with us or the Corner. It takes a special kind of therapy to deny a patient access to the internet.

OMK, Owen is at Las Palomas in Albuquerque as of 6 days ago which is Brent's last post

Pad a Hood Joint?
Whip off that apron
And reveal the tuxedo.
Morph from a baker to a socialite.
Don’t gloat over your success,
Patch up your differences.
Pride can have a domino effect -
Downward.
I am not satisfied with my offering today, but have no more time to work on it. No rhyme, title doesn’t relate etc.
Ah well, some days are harder than others for the creativity to bubble.
Then I saw OMK’s masterpiece. (And look at that title!). And “Tuxe-[Do]-Minos!”
I’m in awe.
"New Friendship"
Ted wore a tuxedo on the boat
which put him in a good mood.
He now could over other passengers gloat
and hoped they might give him their vote.
He liked playing games and got into a match
in a game of domino.
But he began losing sharply at a patch
with a foe, and that caused some woe.
But in the end he offered his foe a joint,
a good point which did a new friendship anoint.
CEh! ~
A quick change of costume,
from cook to celebrant,
as well as of rank,
worker to idle rich.
But then it seems he’s
doing his best
to overcome or atone
for an unstated act of hubris.
We’re left all alone…
I was looking for the arc that might tie the images together. I’m sure with a little more time you would have been able to suggest how his/her past “success” led to this stint in the kitchen.
As for the title—! I was surprised, of course, to see the near duplicate of mine.
As you might suppose, I arrived at my version by testing and re-testing the Spooner possibilities, changing the “D” to a “T,” the hard “G” to a soft “J,” etc.
Once I found mine, that’s when I went into my back story to provide the justification, the rationale that had to serve two purposes: to make sense out of the weird new words, and to tie them into the haiku that was already done.
I only add a back story—the parenthetical bit that often precedes my poem—when it is necessary to explain my poem or title.
I depend greatly on back stories to make sense of my otherwise obscure offerings!

Misty has rhymes all over the place today (unlike me).
ABAA CDCD EE (with point thrown in to the EE mix, and foe into the DD mix).
Ted seems to be a politician looking for a vote, meets some tough times, but ends up with a new fried. Sealed by a joint, no less. LOL. (Hope it’s legal or it will scuttle his political ambitions - unless he doesn’t inhale.)
OMK- I love your great response to my offering with a creation of your own.
I swear I had not looked at your post when I posted mine. I was amazed at the similarity, but then we were both trying to make a Spoonerism. I would have needed a novel to write a back story that could tie together my title and poem today. I should have followed Misty’s definition of joint; I might have a basis for a disjointed theme.
Enjoyed your good poem, Misty, even as I marvel at your ability
to so arrange your grammar
that your Ted is able
to
while in his tuxedo-wearing
good mood
over his fellow passengers
(& apparent vote-bearers)
"gloat"!
And you offer a very happy ending indeed, especially now that cannabis is legal in CA. Curiously, my experience of it was limited to the days of prohibition; now that it carries no penalty, I seem to have lost interest...
Once again it is interesting to see how we three make use of the same J-word in three different ways. I use it as a mask; you refer to it as a game; and it is employed for its "effect" by CEh!

Wilbur, many thanks for the news on Owen. It would be so nice if we could communicate with him. I'm sure he'd like to know that he is in our thoughts.
Ol' Man Keith, your 'invasive frisking' just cracked me up this morning. A total delight that made me look up "spoonerism" yet once again. Only this time I got even more information than I'd seen before: that it's based on the speaking mistakes of Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844-1930). Who knew?
But then you and CanadianEh! extended your poetic experiments with charming productions on men's clothing, which floored me when I realized that I had started my own verse in the same way! Funny how those Jumble words and that girlish cartoon could have gotten us all to think about fellows--oh, of course, it was that tuxedo that got all picturing them wearing a cool costume with a mask on the face or an apron over their outfit. Well, your productions were a treat, delightful, elegant, lots of fun.
And thank you both for your neat responses to my own verse. Made ma happy.
Made me happy--until noticing how I goofed up my spelling by not proofreading it properly.
Woohoo! Wilbur and CanadianEh!, your Wordle hints almost got me the solution on my first try! I just had to play with the last letter two more times! Still, my best Wordle ever, I think--thank you so much for this help!

Misty- just a FYI to help with future Wordle guesses. I suspect your first two guesses ended in S and D.
But I don’t think I have ever seen Wordle use a past tense (ed) or an S on the end of a word (as in a plural word or present tense ending). (A word ending in S as its normal spelling is ok)
This might narrow down your choices.
Would that be correct in your view too WC?
You're right, CanadianEh!, I did end my first two guesses in S and D. But I had no idea that Wordles generally don't use words that end with past tense or plural endings! That's a discovery for me--many thanks. That will certainly narrow down my choices in future--if I can remember that rule. (Actually just wrote it down on a small note. Now if I can only remember to look at it the next time this issue comes up).
C-eh, I was just trying to figure out those last two letters. Yes, the S verbal ending is not used and I'll agree with C-eh that "ed" is not wordle usage.
But it accepts it, just no congrats.
Here's my combined C&L. For clarity I'm using [?] to indicate the speaker

"You have a good point, darling, let's go, time is fleeting"
"Afterwards, perhaps, we can adjourn to Dominos for pizza and hatch
Out wedding plans. By the way instead of the beret how about a patch?
Erin go bragh on the tuxedo will have them gloating in their beer"

I had my Wordle done, but didn’t post yet because I was hoping to see a hint from Misty first.
Something for her to shoot for…

Too late for me to respond to your delightful Chet and Lois conversation, Wilbur, but many thanks for posting it.
And I figured you'd use the same clues from Wilbur and CE! that I did for the Wordle, OMK. But, if I remember it right, the Wordle had something to do with places related to cash or river? Sorry, too tired to be any clearer than that.
I still check in here once in awhile, but not every day. Glad to see someone here is keeping CC appraised of my situation. I haven't been reading there at all. I usually do the Jumble, tho! Not every day, and Wordle slightly less often.
I don't have access to a computer. My computer glasses were lost on one of my first moves from facility to facility, and without them I can't see the screen well enough to do much. I do have my phone , 505-660-9281. But it's hard to use now because I lost my stylus on a more recent moves, and my fat fingers are always hitting the wrong letter. If anyone wants a private chat, I'd welcome it as a text message to the phone number above.
