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 was wondering what letter to put in the 4 slot.

Appropriate idea for the day. Seems like a nice cartoon family.
ReplyDeleteMy very personal reaction, though, is that what I want these days is more to divest myself of clutter than to receive presents. If they lived close enough, visits from my daughters would be great, but since they don't, I look forward to phone conversations - whuch we frequently have anyway.
I suppose it could be seen as sad that holidays have become less important to me in recent years, but I don't see it that way. Family is more important every day, holidays less meaningful.
Enough personal rambling; I wish everyone who celebrates Mothers' Day a happy one.
Happy Mother’s Day to each Jumble Mom—and to all the Mothers, incl. wives, of our Jumble Guys!

”Holidays—Enough?”
My 2nd day off
in this “trough.” Nothing to cough
at, nothing to scoff…

"Crazy Courtship"
ReplyDeleteThe driver was my nephew
who had decided to woo
his girlfriend with a chorus
of stanzas that were funny and porous.
Their effect did certainly please
and so he got down on his knees
and proposed to her, with a sneeze.
She laughed and happily consented
and wedding presents to her he presented.
So now they are happily wed,
spending each night together in bed,
where his stanzas still don't annoy,
and still give her plenty of joy.
NO one seemed aliver
ReplyDeletethan the guy who was the "driver."
When he set his cap to wooin',
he was sure to be a shoo-in.
He knew his stanzas had to please
that gal--she was his main squeeze,
and their wedding bliss
was based on this:
Good sex, sweet care, & a mutual love of cheese.

Why, thank you, Ol' Man Keith,
ReplyDeleteyou sure deserve a wreath
for responding to my verse
as not at all perverse.
Your comments were so sweet,
the poem's couple would find them a treat
and thank you will all their heart,
and put you on top of their chart.
Not among my best…

Wow! Without me doing anything different, now the Times seems to be posting my results. Right on the fourth guess.
You know, I'm speculating that perhaps because of my not-well-known-by-the-Times-browser, it took awhile first to let me in, and then to give me full access to procedures. The initial message I got was that I had an unknown system, so maybe...
