Jim the Jinn was a _____ in her home,
The hostess was a _____ all alone.
She lived with just her ______-cat
Who liked to cuddle on her lap.

The visitor, in garish garb,
Gave to her a lamp to guard.
The tarnished brass she gave a stroke
To ______ , and Jim ____ __ __ _____!

Very funny story, Owen, and a valiant effort when you feel so bad. I agree that you should take all the time off you need.

The jumble clues were easy, and despite the daunting look of that long solution, once I had extracted all the necessary letters it went right up.

Bless you, Owen, for coming to the Jumble and giving us a great poem even when you're not feeling well today. I got all four words without any problem, but struggled with the solution which just wasn't working for me. So I depended on your poem to help me out, and Yay! it did. I got it! Clever poem, and clever puzzle solution. Gets my Saturday off to a good start. Thank you again, Owen, and take good care of yourself!
