Todayโs Jumble haiku:
(Sometimes what is meant as a joke doesnโt make it to the funny boneโฆ )
โFather Reconfiguringโ
Enacting his old
man as an impaired grouchโฆ. Mom
thought it quite the gaffe.
~ OMK
From my fixed gaze, I thought it was going to be a cinch, but I had to rein in my dog

A restless teen implores his father to lighten up
Go Figure, Father
Let me off my leash,
Stop being such a grouch.
I may surprise you - sheesh!
By getting off the couch.
Your gaffe - enacting rules insensitively,
That greatly impaired my activity.
OMK - I smiled at your well- constructed haiku, imagining the look on the motherโs face at the โimpaired grouchโ acting. Great tie- in to the title. Yes, sometimes jokes just do not turn out as intended. Iโm thinking that son did not get the keys to the car that evening.
"Good Work"
Gabe's mistake was just a small gaffe,
but it made his colleagues laugh.
He was working on a pact
his company wanted to enact.
The pact would conflicts repair
that did many transactions impair.
For his pact Gabe earned a raise
which his father did highly praise.
If Gabe's figuring remained enduring
it would his future success be insuring.
(This little story had no room for a "grouch")
Misty ~ Your Gabe was fortunate in that his "mistake" was so small--and that he apparently had the training and skill that was needed to fix his part of the company's pact.
Good for him!
You report at the end that you had no room for "grouch." As the author, you had every right to leave it out. But I'm pretty sure that if Gabe's colleagues (& father!) had not been so easily pleased with his efforts .....
Well, you catch my drift.
A neat twist on the title yourself, CanadianEh!
And a nice rhyme with "leash/sheesh!"
Seems your teen is a mite over-sensitive when it comes to abiding by the rules in dad's home! She has taken to mocking the rule-maker & (get this!) threatening to fall in line.
Ah, yes, adolescent psychology--I remember it well!
~ OMK.
, brilliant haiku this morning! I don't know how you did it but you worked all four Jumble words into it along with the solution into the title. Can't believe you managed that in such a small space. And here I couldn't fit "grouch" into my much longer verse. Brilliant! And Gabe thanks you for your kind comment on my verse.
CanadianEh!, your verse, with the teen reproaching his father, also totally delighted me, and you too worked everything into your verse. And rhyming "insensitivity" and "activity" in the end was especially clever.
I got today's Wordle in three tries, but I should have paid better attention to your hint, CE!. All the same, thanks for encouraging me to try Wordle again--it was fun.

Sorry your name got erased from my message to you, Ol' Man Keith. Hope it works this time.
Misty- you gave us a success story about Gabe who worked his way past a laughable mistake to success with a pact to repair conflicts. (This sounds like something that the world surely needs right now!). I liked your rhyming of enduring and insuring.
You were correct to leave out grouch - it had no place in your poem.
Iโm glad you got the Wordle today - and three guesses is very respectable. My hints are somewhat cryptic perhaps. I usually give a story of my path to the correct Wordle, but I use synonyms. I think your second guess was Heals - just a hint for future use that the Wordle rarely has an S on the end and I have never seen a plural using S.
Have fun.
I had fun with my rhymes today. Glad you both enjoyed the result. Oh those teen years!
Thanks for your kind comments.
