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.

Okay, I haven't even looked at the clue words yet, but the solution jUst popped right into my head as soon as I saw the cartoon and read the captions, especially the question at the end.
I think it is a pun, yes, and kind of cute. I did also enjoy the various queries the guy's fami!y members have for him. They don't seem to have a lot of confidence -- nor would I. Wet wood??? C'mon!
Same here, Sandy. The answer leaped right up.
Sometimes they present a situation that leaves us with nowhere else to turn.
This was terribly familiar to me, though, because once in Boy Scouts I was trying to qualify for my promotion to First Class by starting a fire w/o matches. Sure enough, when the Scoutmaster came around to my pile of twigs, he pointed out how damp the wood was. Ay, me…
FLN, Wilbur ~ Enjoyed your verse last night, both for its economy & its Menu of treats.
And the availability of AA meetings strikes me as a marvelous support tool. I wonder that more negative behaviors don’t organize so many group sessions. I know that other addictions do it, but how about “drop-ins” for depressives?
Or kleptomaniacs?
Or…?
FLN, Misty ~ Clauder? Is this a name I’ve missed?
Your Eve seems quite sensible. I forgot to mention that we watched a Thin Man movie. Always enjoy Wm Powell & Myrna Loy.
No poem today, except…
Sunday, funday,
relax & breathe.
‘Tis a holiday,
no work for Keith!

"Writing Challenge"
The writer had a burning question
and needed his editor's suggestion.
How should a story about a goalie unfold
when it might be difficult to be told?
The editor told him he'd have to seek
some information that was unique.
And he should also new information import
but still keep the article scenic and short.
The writer's article ended up a success
and banished all his worrisome stress.
Have a great, leisurely day, Ol' Man Keith, you deserve it.
(Clauder is my late husband's last caregiver, who stayed on in his room here after we lost Rowland. He has a new client, but we have dinner together in the evening, which is nice company for me so that I don't feel all alone. And he's thankful to still be in a house where he has had many good years now).
Misty ~ The editor’s instructions seem to have worked wonders. The writer benefited from following those tips.
I like the idea that every piece must impart “unique” information.
