Todayโs Jumble haiku:
(One may pursue weird dreams in isolation & carry on with bizarre practices privately, but so long as one maintains a rigid conformity to communal norms, he can count on how his public behavior will shape perception andโฆ)
โBend His Messโ
The social gamut
is in a sense the banner
of the life one lives.

Rapunzelโs hair is famously lush.
If you donโt agree, Iโll tell you to hush.
She makes it shine with ten strokes of her โ โฆ.. .โ

I've had no brush with greatness in my life.
It's just been the common toil and strife.
If famous I'll be,
It will be posthumously.
Still, to be rich would have been nice!

Orijinz:
At the flea market, out on the margin,
Dr. F. set the prices he was chargin'.
Full price was a soul,
A limb for a lesser goal,
And for a toe, get a Faustian bargain!
The alchemist set a banner for his shop
To fence for things that were hot.
He had gold to spare, not a care.
But he only bought stolen wares.
He'd accept a full gamut of goods,
From embezzlers as well as from hoods.
Insurance fraud made for pure gifts.
Other types of cons were social grifts.
All this booty he placed in a pot
For teleport to some place it was not.
Then the pot filled with stuff that made sense,
From elsewhere, but here business meant!
It was an interdimensional scheme,
To launder loot to keep it clean!
Faust was an alchemist, so i thought this would follow his story, but it took off in a different dirction.
"Business Mess"
Their problems covered a gamut
that caused their firm to shut.
Things had gotten very tense
and closing all the shops made sense.
They meant to start a new business--
would it work this time better or less?
By designing a new social banner
they might create a wider spanner.
In the end their project was a success
and got them out of their financial mess.
Misty ~ One wonders at the business acumen that in the end bailed these folk out of their troubled (infirm?) firm.
In building their new operationโon a bigger monkey wrench?โwe may hope they re-engaged the services of all those employees who were โlet goโ when they shut their old money-losing shops down!
Good work, CanadianEh!
We know your time is limited today, so we are happy to see you.
And that you didnโt, erโฆwhisk, uh, scrape, orโฆ flick us off!

Thank you for the very helpful hint, Ol' Man Keith--it helped me get the Wordle on one try! Much appreciated. Sorry CanadianEh!, didn't see it in time.

And you're so right--it would be very sad if the new business in my verse didn't make every effort to keep their old employees.
Owen, sorry to say this--but I hope your alchemist goes broke at some point.
Bent (to)Mussiness
It was a banner week for dirt;
The litter ran the gamut from paper to shirts.
His social life he would not hinder,
The useless stuff he used as tinder,
And brushed the rest under the bed.
He had the sense to leave it unsaid.
I bring a late offering today. Enjoyed you all, but no time to comment.
I have another day out of town tomorrow for family birthday celebrations, and doubt Iโll make it here.
That's right, CEh!
No point in drawing attention to your scat!
Any left-over litter should be left unstated.
Yoiu know that old sampler:
"Under the Bed,
Best Unsaid"

Enjoyed your "mussy" poem, CanadianEh!, thanks for that fun. And have a great weekend with family and friends.
Will see the rest of you tomorrow!
