The storm is getting windy, hear the lightning crack!
ReplyDeleteInside the lonely cottage, the sisters cackle cack!
It's time to make their supper, a savory newt stew,
And afterwards concoct their special witches brew!
Into the heating cauldron, ingredients are dumped.
Horned toad, toenail mold, snot from elephant's trunk!
Blue-bird's beak, eye of creep peeping in their window.
(It was the final view for a hobo, with just his bindle.)
The stew they deem is better than their usual fare.
The broth, it makes a potion to raise anybody's hair!
The wicked stuff they bottle, to sell on the dark web.
A virus to change cellphone addicts into the living dead!
A poem full of commentary. I'm not an addict, per se, but I do feel a momentary touch of panic if I leave home without my phone.
ReplyDeleteThe humble was pretty easy, especially the clues. And once I spread out the letters, the solution was easy too. Obvious, actually.
Humble jumble, I guess. Typos can be fun sometimes.
ReplyDeleteSandy nailed it. This "humble" was indeed easy, maybe the most obvious solution we have seen, preceded by four easy-peasy words.
ReplyDeleteTumble me Bumble! Who could stumble over this jumble?
Owen's poem is a real delight. The weird sister are at it again. His way with words continues to amaze. I especially enjoyed "cackle cack" and "snot from elephant's trunk."

A fun poem, Owen--many thanks. I can see how the words suggested the witches' theme to you. I breezed through this Jumble, getting every single word without a problem. I knew the last word of the solution was going to be what one hopes for when getting a new place to live, and that of course made the beginning fall delightfully into place. Bet those critters are going to enjoy looking at the snow-capped mountains and the river coursing below!
ReplyDeleteMisty, you have perfected commentary without reveal . I too got this one tout de suite.
ReplyDeleteThe witches (not so nice) only want the eyes of those salamandars. When hobos eye hags toiling troyblt is brewing.
