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.

Read the comments, and reply to them if you are so moved!
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!

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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
