Todayโs Jumble haiku:
(Sometimes too many boots arrive in response to a previously forbidden invitation to view a well-kept propertyโฆ)
โThey Knelt
(to retrieve the sealed letters)โ
The taboo invites
raised a clamor, when their foot
traffic kicked up fluff.

Orijinz:
Fo schizzle my nizzle, as Dogg would say,
Success isn't in the cards this day.
The fuse went out,
It turned into a rout.
You have to sell the sizzle, as Zig would say!
FLN, Owen:
Augustusโ motherโs motherโs brother, or great-uncle. Strung out, perhaps, but not exactly tangled.

Anyway, youโre right, that he acted as his dad. Julius had no kids of his own.

I had to split off my W comment to satisfy the Bot!
I moved from trying to vote in guess three, to living in the land, before I bowed to the ruler.
38 seconds for the O today.
Thanks Owen. LOL re the original meaning
A knight overcomes his dietary preferences
Fruit Taffy - Ick!
Above the clamour of the crowd,
He shouted his defiance aloud,
For it was considered taboo,
To eat sticky food at the zoo.
His objection died with a fizzle,
On the invite to add chocolate drizzle.
He smacked his lips and sure enough,
Knelt to receive his Candy Fluff.
"Renovation"
Tom didn't have a clue
if the work on his house was taboo.
They were nailing and using a hammer,
and creating a lot of clamor.
The repairs took time and were rough,
but they gave the place some real fluff.
When it was done Tom did invite
his neighbors to check out his new site.
Their foot traffic did him not annoy,
and the neighbors expressed their real joy.
Misty- thankfully amateur carpenter Tom had good results with his Reno, even if repairs were rough. Fluff is what all the interior decorators are looking for! And Tom was generous to share with his neighbours. Lovely poem.
Poems today seemed to express lots of good wishes for folks.
Ol' Man Keith, hope the well-kept property owner wasn't deprived of what he was due.
Owen, oh dear, would you say that Dogg and Zig will be okay with distress over their nizzle and sizzle?
CanadianEh!, glad your Knight got a good lesson and stopped harassing folks after finally enjoying a Candy Fluff.
And thank you for your always generous and kind comments on my verse. Oh, and Tom thanks you too.
I must wonder, CEh, what the knight was doing at a zoo...?
Ah, but then it may just be my fault, thinking the champion was there on jousting biz. It was probably his day off, and he was treating his kids to monkey island, where the taboo might well have been in place because such sweet sticky stuff would be taunting to the animals.
Sometimes we need to be supplying our own backstories, such is the litcrit field of interpretation.
Anyway, I'm glad the knight got to indulge his sweet tooth.
And while we're enjoying a happy ending, Misty, let's include your "Renovation" poem.
Tom the builder never really has to confront his unhappy neighbors, does he? --not so long as he remains "oblivious" to the disruption his house is bringing into the community.
In the end, their good cheer at being invited inside seems to have silenced any grumbling.
Lucky timing with that invitation, thoughtful Tom!
Way to go!

Ol' Man Keith, Tom thanks you too for your kind comments. (And so do I).
