Todayโs Jumble haiku:
(People might be far apart in standing, and yet share in fundamental virtues. Feline fondness is something that unites many; the domestic variety often hook us with their mews & purrs.
How about this rapport between a family of actors and their presidentโฆ?)
โ(Abe & All Basically) Hooked by the Heartโ
They say John Wilkes was
a trusty soul with kittens.
All Booths shone that way.

Magnificent again. I started with the common Bot word and didnโt have to exchange many letters

Im on a roll with the Camo Orijinz
I guessed today's Orijinz in just 00:10 and revealed 0 letters.
Hook it to Start
My trusty kitten has a basic flaw,
He snags everything with a claw;
But I would not trade him, for in truth,
I can use tough khaki in my booth.
"Silly Start"
The couple met in a dental booth
where each had come for help with a tooth.
Their treatment was simple and basic,
and a friendship began pretty quick.
They found each other trusty,
and their progress was not at all rusty.
A month later he gave her a kitten,
and in return she knitted him a mitten.
They soon took each other to heart,
and will now hopefully never part.
OMK- wow, another great convoluted backstory! You took that outlier B word and used it as a proper name (and an assassin no less). But (like Misty) you found a way to create a sunny mood by having John Wilkes and all his family members be โtrusty soul(s) with kittensโ. Anyone who loves kittens cannot be all bad IMHO.
I had that same B word leftover, and was forced to throw it into my poem at the end (without the greatest result IMO).
Misty used that same word in another context. I have heard of kissing booths and game booths at a fair, but never a dental booth. But her couple with tooth problems were treated, and then became friends. And imagine a mitten (just one?) in return for a kitten! But Misty does say that it is a Silly Start, but hopefully to an enduring relationship. Letโs hope that kitten doesnโt claw their furniture.
Lots of fun today. Thanks all.
I tried to think of a specific kind of booth, CEh, but except for one of those old-fashioned photo booths, I drew a blank.
It looks like you did too, or at least you didnโt share where exactly your particular khaki-color was to be found.
Strangely, Misty opts for something called a โdental booth,โ which is new to me, something completely outside my experience.
I searched my memory, and while I could not find anything to link the acting Booths to cats, I was able to work backwards from the White House pets of our 16th president.
Here is a little extra about his felines: โฆ
Tabby & Dixie
were Abeโs cats. Gifts from Sewardโ
pets, and no folly!

OMK- interesting re Lincolnโs cats. Apparently he had a dog, Fido, and a whole menagerie of other animals.
Learning moment.
My goodness, I haven't thought about the assassination of President Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth in so many decades, that it almost shocked me just now to look up the story. Wow! I may have trouble sleeping tonight.
But you've all made this tragic memory so much easier to deal with by working kittens into it, making it more humane somehow and lifting our spirits. Thank you for that, Ol' Man Keith and CanadianEh!, for giving us lovely and cheerful literary gifts today. I'm feeling better again, having just re-read your works and comments. Have a good sleep, and lets look forward to our new productions tomorrow.
