The opening poem contains all the words (or variations of them) from today's Jumble.
Comments are welcomed! And couching them in Poetry is definitely NOT required.
Do not explicitly reveal any of the actual answer words until after closing time, but embedding them surreptitiously in comment sentences is encouraged.

" Call in Two Lines"
The fauna of any region can be dangerous,
or not, depending if you're predator,
or prey...?
And also whether you're adventurous,
a lot, in debt or a worthy creditor...?
I say,
I'm impelled to ask these questions
and not use ESP or the nearest medium.
For I loathe those ouija sessions,
packed with lies and a lot of tedium.

Well, your spoon , OMK, was enough to get me the riddle-solution.
Did you mean "an adventurous lot". And....
I see #2 was not PIMEL which can be found on line . My mistake was in not using the vowel on top, consonant under trick.
I added to the witch story FLN

Happy April Fools' Day.
Looked it up, but there seems to be no agreement as to its origin. Ah well, no matter, right?
"Poetess"
At dawn she would play with fauna
while soaking in her sauna.
But her job would soon her impel
to get up so that she could sell
her poetry and her rhyme
to the press, all in due time.
It was not her favorite medium
and she found it full of tedium.
And she also did always loathe
the way they her verses would quoth.
Still, they found her writing sublime
and published it all the time.
So, she really should not be hateful
but, instead, feel thankful and grateful.
Wilbur!
Glad my rhyme (not a real Spooner) could help you! I think it was a tricky solution, the first word being totally unnecessary.
No, I did not mean "adventurous lot," but used the phrase "a lot" as an intensifier. Are you just mildly adventurous, or are you a person who welcomes adventure "a lot"?
I saw your post FLN, but was not sure if an answer was wanted. Also not sure of its meaning. Seemed to be pro-newt--yes?
Anyway, I had that chat with Nan, and she agreed to let up on Misty.
Are you writing about Emily Dickinson, Misty, or yourself? From these three stanzas, it would seem you have much in common with the Belle of Amherst.
I like today's entry very much. I only wish you didn't find it necessary to reverse such wording as "would soon her impel." I know rhyme is a demanding discipline, but aren't there always workarounds? Here you only need two syllables to place "her" in the next line. Maybe something like "would shortly impel/ her to rise & arrange to sell..."
Sandy ~ C'mon. Did you really look it up, or are you just foolin' us?
Sadly, we lost our little Yorkie to a hungry coyote last night. Our three dogs let out a group protest on our patio around 8:30 last night. I called them in, but only two responded. We figure the predator leaped our fence. It was probably over very quickly.

Sad about your dog, OMK. Coyotes are everywhere these days, it seems. My daughter lost her cat to one last year. I had one on my patio a few months ago,looking for trash, well, probably for food and found a trash bag.
Yes,I googled April Fools Day, and there are multiple stories about its possible provenance, some more interesting than others.
Ol' Man Keith, so sorry your sweet Louie is gone. I kept hoping that maybe a neighbor found him and returned him. Such a sad loss.
And yes, you're absolutely right: your "impel/her" would work much better than my awkward line. I'll try to keep that in mind the next time I have an tricky moment of rhyming to deal with.
