A Wordle
SUNDAY WHIRL
We have to use all the words above
JUMPY!
Modern life makes me jumpy!
My antennae always quiver
Whenever someone approaches me;
Will they say 'Stand and deliver!'?
I never used to be like this!
It's the News on the TV
That makes a real-life drama
Out of something imaginary.
I can be strolling innocently,
Or stopping for a chat,
When someone happens to jostle me
And I jump...'Hey! What was that?'
It's always accidental;
A passer-by who's stumbled.
Apologies are offered
And an acceptance mumbled.
If I stand outside a shop
With my purse clutched in my hand
And a sudden motion alerts me.....
Is it a heist that's planned?
Occasionally a move, a look
Can make me feel alert;
Is there going to be an accident?
Will somebody get hurt?
Too many police dramas
And too much late-night news
Have conspired to make me a nervous wreck.
I'd like to know your views.

MYSTERY OBJECT
I found them lying, cast aside, behind a market stall;
Pieces of wood with holes in them! They made no sense at all!
They made me think of old stale cheese, though I realised I was wrong!
But what could be the use of them? Where could they belong?
I puzzled for a moment over my bits of wood
But, in the end, I shrugged and said 'Well, the shadow's pretty good!
