Today’s Jumble haiku:
(The Dawn spacecraft explored Ceres and the early universe, but is now dead. Although Dawn has worn herself down, her data lives on. She deserves all honor, as does her NASA team!)

Dawn Rends It!

Infinite praise and
untold kudos orbit ‘round
Dawn’s mission experts.

A U.F.O. abducted me
To look at my anatomy.
He stuck this gear
Inside my rear:
Alien Colonoscopy!

What is the dental procedure on the Chipmunk? Need a hint from somebody's poem.

OMK is a tad obscure

Owen's entire limerick is a hint to Wordle

"Paid Aid"

Kate's orbit earned many kudos
for her work teaching judos.
Many untold praises rolled
and she began to win medals in gold.

Then her tooth began to hurt
and she needed to find a dentist.
She found one who was an expert
who cured her, and his hand she kissed.

Ol' Man Keith said...

If Tom & Jerry can be said
to offer an image that is cat-like,
can it get up into your head
that it provides the very most rat-like?
(Phonetically, that is…
Your hint, Wilbur.)

Ol' Man Keith said...

Succinct, Owen, to the point.
(Ouch)
Glad, Misty, your Kate got relief from her toothache.
You got me curious to know just how many judos she could teach, and I learned via Google of the three kinds there are: throwing, grappling, and striking.
Kate must be really something, to be able to teach even two of the three!

Misty said...

Your haikus always totally amaze me, Ol' Man Keith. You did it again: all four Jumble words are right there, and then your clever, clever title, turning that little squirrel dentist's work into Dawn's mission. Brilliant!

I hope you recovered from your traumatic UFO experience, Owen. I'm just not sure that I'll ever recover from that image it created in my mind.

Wilbur, I'd love to see your Wordle, but don't know where to find it. Let me know and I'll look for it, although I'm not sure I'd be able to interpret it.

Let me introduce En-ROADS, a global climate simulator that allows users to quickly see the effect of global climate policies on various factors like energy prices, temperature, air quality, and sea level rise.

Tis En-Roads

Kudos to the expert
Who developed the simulator bit,
That may have untold benefit,
As climate change we probe to avert.

CanadianEh! said...

OMK- great title. I nearly went with a space endeavour too. But I turned around the J solution differently, Googled En- roads, and used that information.

Owen- like Misty, that image will linger!

Misty- poor Kate, moving from the medal podium to the dental chair!

WC & OMK- I’m lost re the dental procedure!?

Ol' Man Keith said...

The dental procedure, such as it is, CEh! was invented by the Jumble guys, so we are stuck with trying to post a word that does not exist elsewhere.
No wonder you may be "lost re" it.
If you sound out the obvious answer to the last line of my little ditty (not the line itself, but the expected response), you will hear the solution.
Yes?

Like the crosswords, the Jumble also educates us. I knew nothing of NASA's Dawn mission until I was composing my response and needed a monosyllable name for a space mission.
From what I discovered, "Dawn" was the only one-syllable NASA project. How about that?

Your poem also teaches. The En-Roads thing sounds quite impressive!

Wilbur Charles said...

Just lost my post. I don't compose in Google docs unless it's a poem and think I can get away with it. If I'm careful.

I groked riddle-solution. I had the word on the sign(backwards) and R and O left over.

So now I grasp OMK 's hint(s).

Wilbur Charles said...

Misty if you start wordle go back to Owen's limerick. As I said thats a splendid hint in 5 lines. Speaking of hints...

I made a late post to CC and realized on my ** footnote I had left a hint to Saturdays xword. Going further it would refer to SE

Xword was hard enough so that may help. I was stuck and being familiar with those two genres finally cracked it
