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.
ReplyDelete"Bikini Beach"
Let's head out to the beach!
I feel like swimming at Pismo.
Invite a crowd for some fun,
and I'll bring my sea turtle, "Gizmo"!
Once the icing is broken,
the party can begin.
If it's going to take any longer,
we'd better break out the gin.

"Inventions"
ReplyDeleteJenny had invented a gizmo
which won a prize on a quiz show.
It could help you decorate icing
by covering cake with a spice-ring.
But the gadget got a lot joking
because it was easily broken.
She tried to make it stronger
but it still didn't last any longer.
Well, she wasn't much of a genie,
just a girl in a cute bikini
which she covered in a row of bows,
a big hit at some fashion shows.
So although her first try was a mess,
her second one was a success.
Love your beach party, Ol' Man Keith--wish I could attend. And what cool pet species you're finding for your crazy Jumble words these days. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCome back, Owen, Wilbur, and Sandy. We miss you.
Thanks, Misty ~Glad you enjoyed my beach party--or at least the preamble to it.
ReplyDeleteGizmo wishes you were here too.
Glad Jenny made out all right in her second occupation, as a filler-inner of bathing suits.
She should have sought a partner for developing her spice-ring icer. Somebody with a background in the tensile strength of plastics & metals.
Your poem, however, needs no development at all; it is perfectly fine as is!

Thank you for your kindness, OMK--I always appreciate it. Wish I could get your advice while working on my poems--I bet you could always make them more clever. But that just doesn't work with our separation--even with Zoom to get us together.Maybe some morning I'll ask you for advice before I finish my poem.
ReplyDeleteYes, Absent Colleagues, come back to us!
ReplyDeleteOwen, we particularly miss you, our creator & master poet.
We know you were unhappy with your performance on the Corner today. Come back here; you'll always find a warm reception!

OMK will get a kick out of this.
ReplyDeleteMisty's response, much like Sherlock, "My blushes, Wilbur"
One night, they broke out a game at a party
It was no stress, have fun small stakes Jeopardy
To begin each person anted up merely a penny
"Name the inventor of the Spice Icer Gizmo". "Who is Jenny."
"Who is Jenny?", Andy asked while sipping a martini
"She's the girl who gave up inventing and now models bikinis "
No longer in the dark Andy was ready for the next question
"Who is Ulysses ", he piped up with no hesitation
The gang responded "Joyce authorities are long before us,
Who's ever heard of the name Margot ______"
Blushing, blushing, is that Joyce authority.
