There are several other Jumble blogs, but the ones I checked all started off by listing the answers. In this blog, answers can be either hinted at or masked by burying them in comments. No overt spoilers!
All hints are in the comments!

The opening poem contains all the words (or variations of them) from today's Jumble.

The house routine was disrupted, nothing was going right! Papa couldn't find his fedora, the salsa dip had turned white! Sister's dress was of burlap, the dog wore a silken onesie, I was in a lacy peignoir, which didn't go with my pink goatee! Mama wore a splash of perfume, causing the guests to scream! My shrink told me to remember -- this chaos was only a dream!
Brilliant poem, Owen. I couldn't get #3 or #4 of the Jumble and so was in the dark about the solution. But your verses gave me those answers, and with that help I was able finish easily! And your poem is so funny and silly it caused me to laugh!
This jumble gave me a little trouble, because the third clue just wouldn't come. So I resorted to finding the solution without it, and fortunately its last word popped right up, so the first word came with a few moments of thought. That third clue word is a doozie! Got it finally. Struggling with a jumble is enjoyable -- provided you get it in the end.
As Misty said, the poem is silly fun, especially the dog, which I imagine as a dachshund waddling around in its borrowed lingerie. Only in a dream could all those words go together!
This J caused me much more trouble than any in recent memory! So, Owen, resorting to your poem, I found the solution. Thank you! I had the last word in the final solution but without unscrambling #3 and #4, it took a while for the first word to emerge. LOL at the armored dog!
Ol'Man Keith, that looks like Sandy or Betsy--one of the sweet doxies that Rowland and I had when we first met. After our first lunch together, Rowland mentioned to me that he had a dachshund, and I said, "I have a dachshund too." He asked a few more questions and it turns out that we had almost identical doxies. Two and a half years later we got married, and Sandy and Betsy were "bride-dogs" at our wedding. I look at a picture of the four of us in our lovely wedding outfits every day when I walk up and down the hall.

ReplyDeleteMisty, you mean Owen?
ReplyDeleteShe does...
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get#3. I tried every combination except for the correct one
ReplyDeleteI knew the last word and was playing with the letters from 1,2 and 4 but only a careful look at Owen's dream caused me to SUSS the riddle .

Ps . So somewhere in the Joyce lexicon is his creation of LOO for LAV. My English prof loved to quiz on novels by asking questions like that
Nothing existential rather what color hat was he/she wearing . ie Did you actually read the book or the Cliff Notes
