  1. Today’s Jumble haiku:

    Get it All On Out

    It is a thrill when
    my valet runs grime through its
    outage from my clothes.

  3. The frustrated servant mutters under his breath
    Give Me a Fighting Chance

    The valet was not thrilled
    At the grime on the white shirt.
    “Why do you apply resin
    While wearing your best?”
    How can I get it all out?
    Agents to use?

  4. OMK - the muses (and the given words) sent us in the same direction today (although my muses did not give me any rhymes). Adding the W gave an extra problem for that poor valet. Your haiku lacks a little punch in the last line, but I like your use of outage.
    Your valet succeeded while the jury is still out on my valet’s progress.

  5. "Reward"

    The valet often had a difficult day
    when he did not earn much pay.
    He avoided any grime
    and was always at work on time.
    He always stayed right on the page,
    even during a power outage.
    He tried to help with every request
    and always did his best.
    So he finally enjoyed a thrill,
    when his boss gave him a bonus bill.

  6. Misty- your valet (you didn’t give him a name today!) was overworked and underpaid, but he continued to be clean, timely, helpful (even during power outages). He was thrilled with the “bonus bill”, but IMHO the boss should pay him a proper wage for his service.

  7. Yes, I see how alike our gentlemen’s men are, CEh!
    I wasn’t so daring as you with your “…out?/Agent” attempt, although I certainly repurposed the word.
    I respect your tougher challenge, as your gent was grimier than mine, getting today’s W on his dress shirt! Yuck!

    Your valet, Misty, clearly deserved that bonus. The guy exemplified the virtues belonging to his position. I think he deserved an extra treat—a break!—during that outage. But he was too honorable to claim it.

  8. OMK, I liked your verse about your valet giving your clothes such a good cleaning. And thank your kind comment about mine too.

    CEh!, sorry your valet was so frustrated. Hope his boss gave him the break he deserved! And wish the boss of my valet would do the same thing.

    Have a good rest of the night, and look forward to your poems tomorrow!
