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.

Sasha swoons at the heady bouquet
of the winery’s white label brand.
Its Malic-acid graph is far and away
the best Oeno-Trust ever planned.
Its flavor offers warmth, an enveloping fog,
a rush of love, dubbed “Hurry—Heart Grog”!

Well, today is an extreme example of Keith's rule of looking for the words obviously left out!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Owen, so good to see you here.
ReplyDelete"Chart-hog"
ReplyDeleteMartin owned a winery
and had workers digging a trench,
while others were drawing a graph
of income and pay for the staff.
He didn't have to worry--
his business was a success
that made him swoon
because it was such a boon.
Owen, yes, definitely -- and an extreme example of reaching for wordplay.
ReplyDeleteOMK, where's the ditch? Couldn't find it.
Misty ~ Glad Martin’s product is so successful! He won’t be needing that trench for warfare against his competitors.
ReplyDeleteSandy, Owen* ~ Maybe I can borrow it to defend my deficient Cru?

* Welcome back, Maestro. Sometimes the words are embedded so deeply, they become entrenched.
Got caught up on reading the week's comments. I, too, missed "inflated". Misty, stick with what works for you. The verses are always entertaining.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of sticking to what works...
[Chet goes on]
Certainly the graph line of my recovery had its ups and downs
No longer the wineries nor trenches occasional smiles more often frowns
I'd hoped to make you swoon, Lois, as worry-wart I was a downright hog
But giving time, time and practicing principles drew me out of the fog

I'm hoping "Chet and Lois" is still entertaining. I'm rehashing from Chet's point of view. Today's was pretty much driven by the J's. *

* And I like to fit the riddle-solution in there somehow although Chet did indeed expend a lot of nervous energy worrying about Lois. His Sponsor had to rein him in emphasizing the Principle of Acceptance

Wilbur, I definitely find that Chet and Lois continue to be interesting.
ReplyDeleteYay, Wilbur, too! And a Chet memo, as well.
ReplyDeleteHot diggity dawg! And here we are, on the eve of Epiphany, of Twelfth Night.
We are definitely due for a happy visit.

Thank you, Wilbur, for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Chet's incredibly positive and meaningful message today. A pleasure to read.
I also really enjoyed seeing the Jumble words in your verse.
OMK, thank you for your kind comment too. And your winery poem was also special,
with its usual bit of oddity, and a very funny nod to our Jumble solution with
"Hurry-Heart-Grog." Made me laugh.
