Today’s Jumble haiku:
(Sometimes a pet’s sharp teeth are buffed to a…)
“Bevel, Lest” (…they cut someone by mistake.)
Our bushel basket
viper is a decent sort,
with fangs drilled to nubs.

All ye programmers beware!
It's a cruel, cruel world out there.
Here's the thing,
If your app won't sing,
Only an exterminator would care.
The fakir was doing his level best,
But the viper wouldn't come out and dance.
It stayed curled up in its basket nest.
Coming out, there wasn't a chance!
The snake knew the drill it was supposed to do,
To come out to the fakir's ululating pipe.
But today it wasn't being a decent part of the crew,
It was protesting that something wasn't right.
Our story came to a peaceful end;
The viper was pleased -- just ask it!
Its quarters had kept it painfully penned,
Till the fakir bought a new bushel basket!
[Nora has invited Martha* over to meet with her daughter Lois]
"Mom, when I left the house for good it must have felt like a viper had left the nest
It took me awhile to become decent but for the last five years I've done my level best"
"Lois, you certainly were a bushel of trouble, a tooth to the drill
But I never stopped loving you and as I hope you see, I love you still."

"A Bushel of Praise"
Bill worked very hard to drill
the student who was quite recent,
hard-working and very decent,
and who displayed remarkable skill.
The boy helped Bill get rid of a viper
using a simple wiper.
In return, Bill gave him a chance to rest
and told him that he was his level best.

The slope on the windshield of his aptly-named VW needed to to be
Bevel Less
An amateur mechanic named Doug
Saved cents trying to drill down
On the faulty wiper of “De Bug”.
He created a bushel of frowns.
Owen appears tp join me in treating vipers as reasonable pets. Mine accepted de-fanging, and his seems pleased as punch with his new basket.
Happy to see a new stanza from Wilbur, this one showing a sweet reconciliation 'twixt mom and daughter!
Misty's viper comes to us via its absence. We must suppose it was of the more villainous sort, the kind we are happy to "get rid of."
Bill, the tutor, was happy when his tutee helped him dispose of said snake.
Leave it to CanadianEh to connect the wiper version of Jumble's viper to the buggy clue from Wordle!
In doing so, she almost Spoonered the title as I did.
Great minds... eh?

Enjoyed you all today!
Another busy day.
Wow! Amazing play with the Jumble words and solutions today by everyone! Woohoo!
Starting with OMK's delightful 'bushel basket viper.'
Then Owen's viper interestingly protested until the fakir bought it a new bushel basket.
In Wilbur's neat discussion it was Lois who was a metaphorical viper and got into a bushel of trouble.
Finally, CandianEh!'s Doug decides wisely to use a wiper and not a viper, but he still got a bushel of frowns.
Nobody messes with a Jumble better than we do , in my opinion.
