Todayโs Jumble haiku:
(In 1993 Mattel bought out a rival company, expanding its line of childrenโs playthings. Toys & dolls made by that corporation in decades before that date have the contemporary realism of their time.
Such items can be authenticated by a special archaeologist, one inundated in period arcana, perhaps anโฆ)

A 50-year old
Fisher-Price dial phoneโs a
skimpy toy fossil.

Ever notice an inverse relationship,
As things get smaller, prices shift.
A skimpy swimsuit, a bikini,
Cost goes up, as it gets teeny!
But other things stay in proportion
A fossil console once was a fortune.
Today a TV, a wall-sized set,
Will run only a modest debt.
Cell phones also run that way,
Getting smaller, day by day.
Folding screens are now the rage,
Giving users a larger page.
A spokesman predicted, in an app,
We'll soon refold them like a map!
The storm came in from foreign shore,
It shakes the air with thunderous roar!
The lightning streams
From grey cloud seams,
And rivers, no longer sky-bound, pour!

Joan spent an hour on the phone
trying to get a sizeable loan.
She had been playing dice
and now had to pay the price.
But the bank was very skimpy,
leaving Joan crying and wimpy.
All her options she did jostle
and finally sold her valuable fossil.
Now Joan is no longer broke,
but when of her experience she spoke
she made it clear that it was no joke.
I take it, Misty, that Joanโs fossil is a rare and valuable relic for which she knew museums or specialized galleries would shell out a pretty penny.
Damn banks! They never want to give money to folks down on their luck. They always try to make a profit to reassure their wealthier clients.
Iโll just bet they have Joanโs old fossil on display in the lobby of their main branch!

Well observed, Owen.
Did you see how they had to fold up the enormous Webb Telescope, to pack it tightly for its trip to space?
I think we are unconsciously preparing to send our essential goods (plus a few playthings) ahead of us for our species โreloโ to Mars.
As to your shorter piece, we note they are now identifying Californiaโs latest rainstorms as โatmospheric rivers.โ

OMK, took a bit of effort, but once again, I found all four Jumble words plus solution in your title plus haiku--although I had to work to see the rhyme. Very, very clever! And your kind comments about my verse today made me very happy--many thanks!
Owen, I really enjoyed your longer verse, not only for the Jumble words and solution, which were all there without any problem, but also for your commentary about the changing costs of technological items. Very interesting! Thanks for that too.
Hope CanadianEh! and Wilbur will also check in before too long. I miss them.
Took me four tries to get the Wordle, but finally got it. OMK, can you tell me again what a 'bot' is? Anyway, here it is:

Misty your NewYork locket poem was excellent. Read very smoothly.
Misty ~ Try my way.
I found out by Googlingโi.e., asking on lineโโWhat is a โbotโ?โ
The particular Wordle version is a Bot that researched and revealed the most successful starter words, CRANE & SLATE.
(I forget which came first and which second.)
The four J-words are NOT coded within my haiku. Although embedded, they are quite naked, so should have been EZ to find.
I had to research Fisher-Price history. Although Mattel took them over 30 years ago, rotary dial phones had already been passรฉ for 20 years. That led to a pretty complicated backstory.
The only rhyme, of course, is in my backwards title.

Wilbur ~ You & Misty both got the W in fourโin parโbut 45 seconds seems pretty swift to me.
I am sure my three levels took longer. I wasnโt timing, but I believe I needed a minute or two.
And, Misty, yes, your Locket poem yesterday read โsmoothly,โ indeed. I particularly enjoyed your rhymes.

Sorry all. Things are deepening here. AWOL for a few days
