The Jew lept from the wagon on to the train.
Had he beat the poachers with that cart of grain?
The stories he would tell!
Was the mutant nutria well?
A medley of thoughts went thru his brain.
Serving as the guide in the museum was boring.
Stan would much rather be back in the dorm, snoring!
But beside the pay, he took it for an anthro credit.
Never a bad idea to convince the prof he had merit!
So his time was spent showing dead technology:
Old computers before the Net, a disc called a "floppy".
A pot-bellied stove, with a fire-heated kettle,
A pre-grid sewing machine, powered by a treadle.
Vids of the uproar when E-Men bisected the nation,
U-cell voting wasn't around yet, to relieve aggravation.
Many people had passionate views on the question.
An electronic poll was taken on emotion to the E-motion!
This is the j4, right? Clever how you worked in the words, though I don't really understand your choice of protagonist. Was it just the first one-syllable word that worked?
Anyhow,that little furry animal defeated me for awhile, until.I finally figured it out. Cute pun.
Looking forward to the j6 -- tomorrow morning!
In Re. first wedding, I whizzed thru it in 3:01 min. with a score if 860.
YeeHa!
I thought it would be obvious -- the first l'ick is for the J4, the second longer one is for the J6. As for the protagonist, did you find links to every word?
Sorry about that. I solved the j4 before you put up the second poem. At least it wasn't there when I started. Then I went to bed.
Ah, now I see the connection, just sittin and sippin in the Old South.
So now this is definitely about the j6. I really love this poem, both the theme and the execution. I can imagine a view of us from the future.
The second and third jumble clues gave me a bit of a struggle. In fact, the punny solution popped out at me and helped with the third clue.
That cartoon is reminiscent of Amazon's ambitions?
Like Sandyanon I too had trouble with the second and third clues of J6. But Owen's poem helped me figure them out. However, even with all the letters, the solution didn't pop up for me. So I finally gave up and looked it up (the LA Times gives us upside-down Sunday Jumble answers). I sure don't get any credit for missing this obvious answer.
Misty, your credit is always good here.
