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

Do not explicitly reveal any of the actual answer words until after closing time, but embedding them surreptitiously in comment sentences is encouraged.

To match kale chips
With hummus dips
Could make a soirée sorry.
To use a scyth
For tulip withe
Could make a sickle sickly.
Witch-hunt passtimes
In lent fast times
Made times past broom-sticky.
And for worst Jumble poem, we have a new contender! But I've skipped 2 days running, and the Sunday double is coming up, so I had to do something!
Oh, you know it's an effective lil' ditty, Owen, and anyway it's good to see the black dog in partial retreat.
I agree that your Jumble poems are deserving of their own label. Something that points to their comprehensive nature. Maybe something on the order of "encylopoetics," but shorter.
I've been trying to work out a system for shortcutting my way to fast rhymes, as they're sometimes too slow to develop. I think I'm making progress; my last lines came a little more swiftly.

As did these.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High?
Owen, I loved these Jumble poems, and also enjoyed the ones on the crossword blog. I had to work a bit on the third and fourth words, but got them after a bit of effort. Then read the cartoon, and the solution popped right up. Yay! And what a neat cartoon! I hope I look that good at . . . nope, doubt I'll make it there. But this grandma looks terrific with her full hair and modern outfit and especially that little red heart locket around her neck. Neat array of hairdos colors and styles on all the kids, and their different colored outfits. And I liked the sweet little dog snoozing on the floor. Fun cartoon, followed by Ol'Man Keith's always delightful glosses on the theme.
Owen ~ Yes, LOL, that old movie title had to be bouncing around in our heads.
But except for minor words (prepositions, articles), I avoid re-using any word of the actual solution.
Great observations on the cartoon, Misty!

How about "CloPo" for your special label, Owen? A contraction of "Encyclopoetry"?
The full title makes sense, as you are covering ALL the words thrust on you by the Jumble, even including nuanced references to the solution.
But contracted because you usually do it in such a compact manner.
CloPos (pl. CloPoes?) would be distinct from your freer verses on the Corner.

Uh, no.
Hi. Did the jumble today, and
it wasn't difficult. I'm with Misty in doubting that I'll ever make it to that age.
Short, pithy poem, Owen.
Misty, is that a great, grandchild kneeling?
How about "Clo-Jos"?
Owen, thanks for the kudos, thanks to Misty and OMK- btw, I was referring to the old teenage 'ute mantra: "How'd you make out with Susie last night?"
" I only got to first base"
Owen, your tips and examples were very helpful. Spell check is a demon. It tossed that ' and I never caught it(father's)
I did this J and riddle in my head.

No further comment, my friend?
Or, am I wrong in sensing a dismissive tone, Owen? I'm sorry if I seemed not to be writing in good faith. I thought to help.
Thanks for the follow-up, Wilbur. What does "Jos" stand for?
~ OMK
And I started this...
At the Catalaunian Plains the Huns met their match
And then looked back at those other words
Owen, you did remarkably well with what you had to work with.
Re. CC. Misty methinks you received more than a Master's DEGREE.
I'd love to read Joyce with your "Dummies" book to guide me.

Sandyanon, how nice to see you back. Keep coming--we miss you when you don't. Thank you for various kind comments, Ol'Man Keith and Wilbur.
Missed your poem, Wilbur, but glad to get Owen's. I'd love to help you with Joyce, Wilbur, but which one is my "Dummies" book. Anyway, nice to come back before bedtime and find all this fun conversation from everybody.
