Todayโs Jumble haiku:
(For our latest pharma tests, we needed lab rats with anomalies of their circulatory systems.
We received a litter of genetically odd rodents, and ran them through various tests. Sadly, most showed as โnormal.โ
But as we reached the longest-living, we found what we needed!
And it was โฆ)
โThe Last Raw (Shot)โ
The eldestโs X-rays
showed his aortaโs shadow
growing at a slant!
~ OMK
"Good Citizen"
Ellen was the eldest
of her siblings,
and the best.
She was shy and stayed in the shadow
but there was much that she did know.
When her aorta was high,
she refused to rant,
and considered things
from every slant.
She was careful to never break the law
and this did much approval to her draw.
She was totally honest and told no lies,
and this prompted her village
to give her a prize.
(Straws can be used in a science project to model blood flow.
Echo is short for echocardiogram)
Drat (the) Last Straw
Shadow throws a slant,
Aorta echo not good,
Eldest inherits!
"Eldest inherits"is a nicely ambiguous conclusion, CEh!
Either it means the present generation is due to die,
or,
All younger siblings have already bought the farm...
Or both.
Misty ~ Your Ellen may have high BP, if I read the aorta line correctly.
But in other respects she seems to be OK and so deserving of a good conduct medal along with her village prize.
She must stay away from shopping on Black Friday (as it is a known destroyer of virtue!).

OMK- I swear that I did not read your haiku before I created mine. But when given the same words to use, the odds of our creation being similar are high. You used lab rats in your aorta testing (with X-ray vs. my echocardiogram). Mine was written from the perspective of a parent receiving a bad prognosis, and deciding on a feudal system of inheritance by the eldest child.
Misty- I see Ellen as the typical eldest child, who follows all the rules, considers both sides of an argument and tries to bring people together. I LOLed at the โhigh aortaโ. Perhaps she needs an echocardiogram. Eldest children are often high achievers, and sure enough, Ellen receives a prize. (Iโm a youngest child!)
Fun haikus, and fun comments, OMK and CEh!--many thanks for those, and also for your kind words on my verse.
Spent the whole day with my son and my brother, on family and financial matters, but with a nice dinner and game of Scrabble in the evening. They'll be leaving tomorrow and I'll miss them. It's been a pleasure having family around.
