Today’s Jumble haiku:
(In WWI, Italian workers at the Hog Island Shipyard, Philadelphia, began making sandwiches something like “subs.” But they gave up trying to make heated subs when their oven was soaked in a rain. These sandwiches had to be served cold, so they were given a different name.
They originated…)

Nigh (the) Wet Hearth

Hoagies’ origin
was Hog Island. The “Hoggies”
name changed. A sweet hitch!

Morning had come, but summer didn't end.
It was already a hot eleven A. M.

I almost decided to stay at the old-fashioned Mom and Pop kind, but then decided to splurge on a high-rise.

"Net Bet"

Henry bought Sue a hoagie as a treat,
a gift she considered very sweet.
A year later they were ready to hitch
even though they certainly were not rich.

Then Henry remembered his family origin:
to bet and gamble, and spin to win.
So he placed a very high bet,
and he won, and cleared any debt.

This gave the couple sufficient worth
to host a lovely wedding with great mirth,
and a year later they celebrated,
with cheer, their first daughter's birth.

Ol' Man Keith said...

Hey, Misty, Henry's hoagie paid off big time!
A wedding, then a birth!
That sandwich may have also been responsible for reminding the groom that he comes from a line of big-time gamblers.
How else could he have wagered such stakes to end up retiring all debts?! Wow!

I enjoyed your poem. Your third stanza is almost a limerick. All it would need is to shorten that 3rd line and match it with another rhyming line.
Maybe something like...
"Happy to be mated,
they soon celebrated..."

CEh! Woah!
You scored an Eagle!! What on earth was your starter word?
GATER? BITER? EATEN?

Owen, your limerick doth amuse, as youzh,
with a pay-off in the 2nd line, so fine.
Is there a particular bird species in your W-line?

Misty said...

Ol' Man Keith, thank you so much for your very kind response to my verse. And I completely agree, your last two lines would be a big help. You are definitely my poetry guru.

And I loved how once again, you echoed the solution in your title, and worked all four J words into your terse and neat haiku. Well done!

Great Wordles, OMK and CanadianEh!. Not sure I'll take a chance on one without hints.

Also enjoyed your cool verse, Owen, thanks for that too.

Hi, Wilbur, hope you're having a good day.
And, Sandyanon, hope you check in with us again, sometime.

“Without hints,” Misty?
I left you a 3-line poem that concludes with your rhyming hint.
Owen’s 2nd line “pay-off” is his hint for you!
And CEh mentions the “Mom and Pop” version of the Wordle for you.

We are all doing our best.
How many hints do you need?
