Today’s Jumble haiku:
(Tiger) ”Thumped Some”
(before Stumping Others)
Modest claims, even
empty ones, were shyly lodged—
ere his putter scored!
~ OMK
FLN, MY LATE postings may interest Misty & CEh!

Thumped STEM
The modest damsel
Shyly put her grimy toe
Into the empty bathtub.
“Lessen the Gender Gap” was her motto;
Arts and music she would snub.
OMK- yes, I saw your post and responded there.
Loved your haiku. Was that Tiger Woods doing the putting?
We went slightly different directions with the title.
(But I do think my damsel should not totally forsake arts and mysic!)
"Family Love"
Grandma's empty nest
had always been modest at best.
She got rid of all her clutter
and with nothing left to putter
she was stumped by how to proceed
since shyly help she was going to need.
But she should not have been afraid,
her whole family came to her aid.
Misty- Grandma is fortunate to have such a loving family who will come to her aid.
But she has also been very kind to them, in getting rid of her clutter so that it is not left to them to clean up the mess after she is gone. Plus, she is willing to ask for their help (even if shyly) and not try to do it all alone and risk making things worse.
Admirable traits for us to encourage, as we age.
But we each found our way to the "Thump," CEh!
Not everyone thinks like that.
Your damsel sinks, I see,
into a tub without water?
Why avoid a bath when,
to take one, she oughter?
We are left to ponder how
the gender gap is lessened
by a dry and grimy Philistine,
apparently Aqua-threatened.
Thanks for your note. I dunno if it was the Tiger Woods, but I wanted a reader to be thinking golf before starting the poem.
Yes, Misty, your grandma is a lucky one, presumably aided by a family who knows what she requires.
As she was apparently puttering well enough, I should think the first order of business for the fam is to restore some clutter,
literally to foul the nest (as 't were).

Ol' Man Keith, I did go back to look at your elegant verse on yesterday's post again, and read it up and down and across, but just didn't get your hidden clue . Sorry--at least I tried.
If we are talking about the same verse, Misty, it is an acrostic, spelling out ACROSTIC in the first letter of each line--the same technique Owen used to spell OPERA the day before.
~ OMK
Many thanks for explaining, OMK--I did see something close to ACROSS in the verse, but didn't get ACROSTIC. I'll try to start being a bit more attentive to all your clever verse plays, which makes our blog a lot of fun.
LOL Misty ~ More likely DOWNWARD than ACROSS, but glad you see the light!
