Day one

Once I had a Wordle streak

Now it’s gone

Motherfucker

That will be my single attempt at poetry this year. Don't wait for my chapbook, because it's not coming.

Yesterday’s word was “rupee.” What? Wordle, can you give us a topical word just one time? I mean, with the R, U, and E in the first, second, and last positions, we went with “rupee” rather than “ruble?” Is that Wordle’s feeble show of support for Ukraine, to boycott the Anglicized word for the Russian currency unit? A 26-game streak, kaput. 

Wait, “kaput” is actually not a bad starting word, right? My strategy is to start with a word with two vowels, a very common consonant, and two less common consonants. “Kaput” fulfills all three objectives. 

My winning streak is kaput, but today is another day. It's day one of my next winning streak.
