Today’s Jumble haiku:
“Tutankhamen (and other smaller things)”
Ounces of lotion,
spilled on ice, make igloos for
mice. Micro mayhem!

I ain’t no troll or porno creep;
It’s time to start in countin’ sheep
to rest my weary head
in my soft & welcome bed,
and avoid the bot’s censorious …..!

Rabbit, bunny, 👯👯♀️👯♂️, rabbit.
The [*], our language, once so prized,
Has [*ing] become vulgarized!
The [*] you say,
In my [*ing] day,
Never the [*] was vocalized!

(You recognize the novel?)
"Snow Structure"
That snowy winter we hired a crew
to build our area an igloo.
It took pounds of many an ounce
to compress snow in those amounts.
But the workers caused no mayhem
and were happy when we did pay them,
and for their chapped skin offered them lotion
which they considered a very kind motion.
In the end the igloo was so uncommon
it was worth the price of our bill,
as all us neighbors found it a thrill.
Your “Snow Structure,” Misty, is a curious project.
I enjoyed reading it and seeing how well the bosses and workers got along.
But to hire a crew, rather than DIY, suggests the owners are either upper middle class Inuit or cultural appropriators.
In either case, some kind of arctic gentrification seems to be going on.
🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day to You, CEh!
Like most Yanks, I was not aware.
So I looked it up, and I see this is the day in 1867 when the provinces joined in confederation.
WooHoo!
The article says it is celebrated “with joy and excitement” throughout the Dominion.
You go, CanadianEh!

Woohoo! Woohoo! Thank you, thank you, Ol' Man Keith and Wilbur: you helped me get today's Wordle in just one try:

You've just gotten my month of July 2023 off to a wonderful start! I wish you both a great day and a great month too!
My apology and/or explanation of my title:
I searched and searched for a word play on the J-word solution, but came up dry.
I settled for this because (a) it’s a pretty good sound alike near-rhyme, (b) it refers to a smaller item in its category—being just a boy king among a succession of adult pharaohs, and (c) it is always fun to say.
Thanks for your indulgence.

Owen, sorry I didn't get your [*] words. Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
Happy Canada Day from me too, CanadianEh!! And thanks for giving us the date's historical background, OMK. Wishing you all a day of "joy and excitement"!
Owen ~ I can’t work it out using an obvious method. (It would seem to be a 4th tier word ending “ELP.”)
Taking a leap, I would guess RABBIT, RUN.
~ OMK
Misty, I don't see what your [bleeping] problem is?
Keith, i was sure i recalled it as a book, but looked it up and it was a play, a movie, and inspiration for 2 TV series, The Good Witch and Bewitched. Also a term for Catholic excommunication..
Bell, Book, And Candle.
What word starts with F and ends with UCK?
firetruck.
The joke’s on me, Maestro!
All this time I was tryin’ to figure out your firetruckin’ Wordle!
You provide plenty of clues, and I thought your last line was yet one more clue.
BUT now I see it is the Answer! Doh!!
~ OMK
Thanks for the great clue, Owen, now I got it.
