Todayโs Jumble haiku:
(More real information is conveyed in a typical newsletter than in a โtract,โ as the latter is usually reserved for superficial propaganda.
Lacking deeper content, the reader is often aโฆ)
โ(News)letter Debtorโ
Tracts absorb data
slimly. Readers are exempt
from spite-erupting.

The enemy tried to pull a prank,

From the front the army split in two.
Left and right, forward the sides drew.
As eventide arrived
Night helped to hide
Kids with paintball guns and daring-do!

I think Owen and I matched on W guess four.
Harry Truman was an ornery old coot.
Lived on the mountain since his youth.
When told St. Helens would erupt,
Said, "Then let her go and eat me up!"
He may have been a stubborn old bettor,
But the volcanologists knew better.
His tract of land was not exempt.
When the mountain blew its top, up he went!
When the mountain of lava did spew,
It absorbed Harry Truman like he was dew.
Along with his sixteen cats St. Helens took
When the whole of Washington state it shook.
When God called Harry up, people say,
Truman went up to meet Him halfway!
"Consequences"
Chuck's work was not corrupt,
so no scandal would erupt.
But he had written a powerful tract
that an opponent had attacked.
This did not make him exempt
from receiving some contempt.
He absorbed this and vowed to do better,
and apologized in a letter.
The tract of land absorbed the rain;
A geyser erupted in the plain.
No area is exempt from natureโs laws.
Todayโs weather should give one pause.
Countries who are bettors
On the impact of climate change,
Ignoring it as something strange,
Will learn that it is no prank,
And eventually will be outflanked.
The result will not be for the better.
OMK- I gave up on a title today. Nice work with yours.
I needed to ponder your haiku today. Seeing the propaganda in a newsletter or tract does require discernment.
Owen- I enjoyed your poem about Harry Truman. Thanks for the link giving background.
Misty- Chuck seems to be a very circumspect man, avoiding conflict and scandal (apologizing for aggravating his opponent). I hope he never decides to go into politics, as I fear his skin is not thick enough.
FLN- OMK, I see your confusion over my use of tonic with imbibing. I was thinking of those old vitamin tonics with 12% alcohol.
CEh! Your poem cleverly assigns climate gambling to no one,
to the countries themselves, as if uninhabited,
and therefore avoids placing blame!
Misty's Chuck plays a more traditional game
and finds no matter how honest he tries to be,
there is a price to be paid.
This Harry Truman, Owen seems to say,
is actually eager to pay his way.
Let's hope the Harrys of our earth
in lieu of plenitude, are actually in a dearth,
for we need problem solvers more than martyrs.
Harrys are fun to read but, as help, non-starters.

Busy weekend coming up so apologies for the quick responses.
Ol Man Keith, so glad your readers are safe.
Owen, afraid your Harry Truman doesn't seem very credible.
CanadianEh!, you're so right about climate change.
Wilbur, couldn't be a weenie, could it?
Have a great Friday tomorrow.
Misty, Harry is very credible. Check the link, he was a real person!
Harry is credible. He was a real person! Check the link! I did use one bit of poetic license. He was most likely buried in lava, and met the devil half way!
Owen, if you say Harry's credible, I guess he's credible.
Misty ~ If you are unsure of credibility, be sure to click on the link he provides!
I did, and it checked out. He refers to one Harry R. Truman.

My first wife left me and moved back to her small home town, where nothing ever changed, solid as a mountain. Kelso, Washington, at the foot of St. Helens, a year before it blew.
