Today’s Jumble haiku:
(The black dinner jacket named for the fancy crowd residing near Tuxedo Park, NY [itself named for the Algonquin chief P’tuksit-tough], evolved from the fashionably shocking black-and-white styles favored by the romantic poet, George Gordon, Lord Byron at court affairs in the early 19th century.
Nowadays, the classic look is a black or midnight blue woolen suit with shiny satin lapels. In summertime and tropical climes, the tuxedo coat may be dropped in favor of a lightweight white or even plaid dinner jacket …)
“(Inherited From) Long Ago”
Tuxedos total
today’s canon of prom wear
(muggy days exempt).

Neil Armstrong took one small step
On the Moon. What did he next?
He claimed that ball
For Mankind all!
When he planted a flag, did he genuflect?

Xavier O'Hara was high society on Tortuga.
Selling used pirate ships was a lucrative trade.
Once they'd aired out the old effluvia
Into muggy air, there were deals to be made!
Past crews were long gone to the deep,
But names carved on walls had tales to tell
Of battles at sea, of a broadside sweep,
Of crew manning cannons, passing thru Hell!
But now Xavier of wealth and elite
Threw balls where tuxedos were worn.
Where governors and barons meet,
And nasty freebooters were held in scorn!
A total reversal of Xavier's ways
From his pirating pirates days!
"Bad Weather"
The weather was totally muggy
and made the surroundings buggy.
The thunder like a cannon did roar
and made everyone stay indoor.
Better put your tuxedo away
there will be no party today.
Hopefully by tomorrow at dawn
the grim weather will be long gone.
Thank you, everybody: your hints made the Wordle totally easy this morning:

A great morning treat.
Interesting, isn't it, how the same J-words lead us in such different directions.
Owen finds his way by tracing the historical transition from olden piratical times to modern cleaned-up manners, with memories of long lost sea battles and dead crews contrasting with the tuxedos and gowns of high society.
Misty, OTOH, finds her path blocked by the muggy weather, probably reinforced by the end-of-May gray days we are experiencing here in SoCal.
She can't accept a fancy celebration in such a depressed climate!
But switch to Wordle, and she takes delight--WooHoo!--in an easy win. Keep the hints coming, and W challenges don't stand a chance with her!

Ol' Man Keith, interesting story about Lord Byron's connection to Tuxedo! And you are so right about my disappointment with our California weather. Hey, it's almost June, how about a little sunshine!
Owen, once again, a very cleverly rhymed verse. My favorite moment in Xavier's story came when you rhymed "Tortuga" with "effluvia."
Nice to see you both check in for Wordle's today, Wilbur, and CanadianEh!. Sorry I didn't have time to join you.
Lone Gong
Kneel before the altar to pray
On a muggy summer day,
Sweating in your tuxedo,
With the heat hanging low.
Will a cannon salute the vows
To tally the promises it allows?
Instead a solemn sound will knell
As rings out the one o’clock bell.
I’m extremely late to the party today but enjoyed you all. Beautiful weather here, but still too much going on here for me to totally relax and enjoy it.
And I take the J words to a wedding, but with a slightly macabre ending. No 21-gun salute to mark the promises evoked by those vows. Is a single bell ringing a bad omen for that marriage?
I’m not sure the single bell is a negative omen, CEh!
But if the celebrants are the ones asking questions, then I’d say anything unusual will be recalled as an omen later on.
Good jobs, you and Wilbur with your Wordles!
