Todayโs Jumble haiku:
(Nick thought diplomatic action might win her over. But she callโd his tactics โsmoothie moves,โ and they only turned her off.
She thought them signs of oiliness.)
โTact? Forget Her!โ
Nick courted her, though
she cared little for him. All
else was a fable.

My usual choice of starter
WC
"Though I was glad you'd begun a program", said Nora at the table
"That it could result in such a marvelous change I deemed a fable
Then again, little did I think when you'd begun to court Chet
That you two would get your act together. I surely missed my bet"
WC
I'm glad Chet had better luck with his antics re. Lois than poor Nick
Now Nora's comments are just an introduction I'm sure to a greater pronouncement
Methinks she's waiting for Charles
WC
At the karaoke bar, the mic
It naturally goes back each night,
To give each patron
A chance to weigh in,
And prove their singing is a fright!

Itโs the kind of
disposition
Hamlet adopts.

WC ~ Looks like Nora had little in the way of positive expectations for Lois, on her own, or for Lois & Chet as a team.
And todayโs installment makes me wonder how solid a pair Nora & Charles are. I thought they were a โgiven.โ
But maybe notโฆ.

My W-starter was my usual.
My 2nd tier merely added 2 of the most popular consonantsโand Bingo.

Tact - No Never!
Fabled throughout the realm
Were the court jestersโ antics.
Though there was no TikTalking
Little was beyond their mocking.
Privilege marked by cap, bells, and motley shirt,
They thrived as actors gathering the dirt.
OMK- we went in a similar direction with the title, but I took a different meaning than you and WC with the C word.
Poor Nick.
Good work on the W.
WC- promising update for Chet.
Owen- is that the W well-hidden in lines 1 and 2?
You got it - BACKwards!

Speaking of jesters and bells
Now the Saxon yeomen were a peculiar pair
Wamba the jester with bells on cap and nary a care
And Garth the swineherd of the surly mien
Hoping for Saxon seccession and a new King come again
(From my Ivanhoe saga)

"Courtship"
Sam thought it would be a sport
the pretty waitress to court.
So when she came to his table
he started to tell her a fable.
Then when he wrote her a friendly letter,
she acted like she wanted to get together.
So one night, though in rainy weather,
he told her he wanted to wed her.
At first, a little she tarried,
but a year later they got married.
"These are but wild and whirling words, my lord!"
Sam sure lucked out, Misty.
He didnโt invest much in wooing his waitress.
A fable, a letter, then he waited for rainโฆ
Ohโwait!
Maybe she was the lucky one.
Hard to tell.

We take the J-words and try to control them, to make โsenseโ of them. They narrow our options, controlling us in turn. In the end, after a few somersaults, itโs a compromise.
WooHoo!
Weโre lucky if we donโt have regrets.
~ OMK
Thank you for your delightful verses, Ol' Man Keith and Wilbur and CanadianEh! and Owen--so much clever poetry today. Terrific--many thanks, again!
