Todayโs Jumble haiku:
(Among so-called clever sayings, I shall pick one of the silliest of those known asโฆ)
โBright Utter(ing)sโ
I could exert a
kind of fake but brash new height
via โtiptoeโ growth.

Hereโs a Wordle clue poem for Misty
If on your memory you rely
You may be surprised by and by
To find the answer is not nigh
And you will need to _ _ _ _ _
I guessed today's Orijinz in just 00:51

The other competitors may be bold and vivid, but the ability to persevere may allow you to triumph, even over the
Bright Others
It is not brash to say
Growth requires you to exert
In order to see headway.
Do not seek the work to skirt.
Though on tiptoe you try your best
To attempt to win the contest,
You may only be knee high
And must be ready to retry.
"Best Business"
The brothers were both expert,
and in their field did skill exert.
Their workers they carefully trained
and in this way their growth maintained.
The temper of the workers was never brash
and their dealings earned them a lot of cash.
With problems the bosses did never tiptoe
but made sure that everyone did everything know.
The future of the company looked very bright
because everything was handled so perfectly right.
Bravo to you, CanadianEh, for your title, which comes closer than mine to a true Spooner (and which could only come nearer if we could find the sense for "Ruthers" or [forgive me] "Rutters"!), and for your fine poem, which gives proper encouragement to ambitious effort, even when the work requires the reader to try and try again!
Misty's focus is on the teamwork encouraged and sustained by bosses who know how to lead. Bravo for that.
We all know of some bosses who simply enjoy bossing, so it is refreshing to review the process of leadership that trains team members, promotes morale, and makes sure they share in the "cash"!
That is indeed the "Best Business"!

Misty- you got all those J words into your usual poem with rhyming couplets. It sounds like those brothers were good bosses who trained their workers well and dealt with issues that arose. Letโs hope that they shared the cash with the workers with bonuses tie$ to profits.
OMK- again your succinct haiku evokes images - โtiptoe growthโ. I love it! And your similar (but dissimilar) to mine title sent you in a different direction with a clever saying instead of my people. Plus I find that adding the O and W to my word base often takes my poem in a different direction also.
I hope Owen is OK and soon will have his phone problem solved and rejoin us.
I'm glad you like "'tiptoe' growth," CanadianEh!. I think it occurred to me because as age creeps over me, I have been shrinking.
The only growth that would be available to me now is whatever I might manage on tiptoes.
And I am also losing lbs.
Years ago, my ideal weight (at 5'10") was 160 lbs. Yesterday, at the doctor's office I weighed in at 127.
I can't be sure of my so-called height because I spend most of my time seated. But the last I could be sure, it was under 5'8' and sinking.
When they speak of the "golden years," they don't know what they're yakking about.
Oh, well, when I get too down on old age, I must consider the alternative...

Are you no longer accepting W hints, Misty?
Mine today may be a little obscure, but CEh posted two for you, one of which is especially helpful!
(I donโt do them regularly anymore, as it can require some time & effort.)
~ OMK
Thank you, thank you, Ol' Man Keith, and especially CanadianEh!, for your very helpful W hints! I got it, I got it, I got it!

Ends my evening on a very cheerful note.
Ol' Man Keith, your haiku made me laugh, so sweet, and especially after reading your discussion about weight and height changes that come with age. Tell me about it--I'm experiencing some of the same, but am proud that at least I'm sticking to a very healthy diet these days.
CanadianEh!, I'll do my best to follow your verse advice--though I have to admit that I haven't stood on tiptoe since my teens, I think (well, unless it had to do with some dancing down the road).
Hope Owen comes back soon. I miss him too.
Brava, Misty! Thatโs what we like to see!
