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.

Good morning, Bards & Balladeers!
I had a fine sleep, and am enjoying a day off.
Will happily peruse
whatever the Muse
inspires youse
to say, today!

The weatherman reported the clouds were full of hail,
But it would remain there while this cold wind did prevail;
So we left our bumbershoots in the umbrella stands at home.
What he left unsaid was, while we were out to roam,
A warm air mass was coming in, intent to melt the clouds.
The ex-hail fell as rain, and drenched the thronging crowds!

I argued with my wife about our restaurant date.
Her Mideast one boasted a falafel and hummus plate.
The seafood one I wanted was more highly recommended.
We had an equitable solution: went where she intended!
"Recovery"
Though Phil had some people offended
he remained highly recommended.
His equity was widespread,
while his rancor remained unsaid.
After spending a week in jail
he was released on bail
and his friends could now exhale.
The threw a party for a throng
of friends who in his circle belong.
They served hummus and other great food
which put everyone in a good mood.
With affection they did him drench
because they consider him a mensch.
Phil is now staying on a good course--
he wants no one to have remorse.
I like today's cartoon. This is the familiar view of the Machu Picchu site, with the steep peak of Huayna Picchu ("young mountain") in the background.
We were fortunate in spending a few days there a decade ago, where we saw a baby Llama (Cria) born on the slope to the right.

Some amusing appeals to the Muse today--without my lifting a finger!
Owen offers a couple of odes, one to the unreliable weatherman
and another to the undeniable Missus!
And Misty ~
Of Phil the Offender
there ain't much to say.
The sap seems symbolic
of the U.S. of A.

Delightful Phil verse, OMK--many thanks.
