The gavel banged, the judge proclaimed, "You deny that you're a witch?"
"Your Honor, sir, I must aver, I'm a Wizard, not a bitch!
A witch's lore is potions and herbs, cats, and broomstick flying.
My powers, mystic and arcane, I gained from study and scrying!"
"A witch lives in a hut or hovel, far off the beaten path.
I submit my lab, in a castle tower, is more fitting for my class!"
"I admit you do enchantments, powerful, potent, and fell.
But a Wizard must always be a man, not a smarty-pants damosel!"
"I beg to differ, it makes clear sense that the title should be mine!
I've fought the king's wars, his seal ring's at my side, I'm not some clinging vine!
Witch or Wizardess is too tepid, I've traveled a long, hard road.
Dismiss these charges from your judgment seat, or I'll turn you into a toad!"
OMG, Owen, the witch/wizard discussion presented itself to you so opportunely and you took full advantage. Your poem is wonderful! And of course it makes perfect sense that you argue the side of the female wizard.
I found this jumble pretty easy, except for the third word; it took a little work with the help of the solution, which jumped right out.
Nice that you were able to work both the first and fourth words into the theme of your poem this morning, Owen. I figured it would have to do with a trial, but wasn't sure about what. Your solution was really funny and clever.
I too had lots of trouble with that third word, which took a huge amount of work to finally solve. But the cartoon and final solution were really delightful. Fun Jumble all around. I just wish I could have been there at that boxing match with a good . . . well, you know.
Hi, Misty. Actually he got all 4 words into the poem, and the solution, though the solution words aren't all together. I only got a couple of the words without having to write them out, with many permutations before seeing the answers.
I've been in and out today, going for a hair cut, taking my granddaughter for a job interview, so my time to solve was limited. Nevertheless, I did finish and like you, had trouble with the third word. Finally, I got it as soon as I read Owen's second verse! You, Owen, are a wizard with words!
Handy that some of the words fit into the necromancer* theme . I had trouble with#3 also, also funny that I can do four words and forget them five minutes later
And in another context what's necromancy without a magic "signet"**
Yes, speaking of wizardry with words, Owen had a very good day . My fav? "Scryer" or "ing" . And...
Up 'til then no hag could've made this juror budge
At the threat of a curse though
: "Innocent" croaked the judge
