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.
I glanced at today's list of words before remembering--with a happy sense of relief--that Sunday is my day off.
ReplyDeleteWhew!
Dodged that bullet.

"Dreams Can Engulf"
ReplyDeleteThe young student was a good scholar
who hoped she would earn a good dollar
by maybe becoming a notary,
perhaps in some prominent coterie.
That way she could help any chum
who might one day need asylum.
Or she might end up in the news
defending someone they'd accuse
of a crime they didn't commit
just because they lacked a permit.
Her dreams were a little absurd--
well, she was a bit of a nerd
who was sometimes a bit too heady,
and for a career not yet quite ready.
Good work!
ReplyDeleteFine, fun, & fluent today, Misty.
Your student's ambition may be oversized for her preparation, but her heart points her well.
And being a notary
might serve her turn,
vicariously,
reading docs that start
"To Whom it May Concern."

OMK,
ReplyDeleteWell, she's not a notary yet,
and whether she'll make it is still a bet.
But it's way too early for us to fret--
first she has her degree to get.
Well I still don't have the riddle-solution. I see ??? AND EARLY . Or perhaps ??? ALL READY.
ReplyDeleteBut there's no N. Ok, my problem is I can't transpose the letters. As was typing the first word came to me. That left ALL as the only second word and RADEY was left except I missed the D.
Thanks for coming up with a poem Misty. Alexander POPE would be proud.
NOTARIES have to be careful. I had to use one to close in NH and he needed Betsy present in the office in Florida.
I was running around all day today. Two words: Flea Market.
Aaaerrggghhhh!!!
All ready, all ready

Owen usually posts the answers before this, Wilbur. But maybe today he wasn't already all ready?
