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.
“Eyes on Your Wallet!”
ReplyDeleteHis crimes were legend.
Truth impels: he just stole cash—
my monkey, nam’d “Stash.”

I'd rather do it in four quickly

Yesterday, I was busy then tired. Finally church beckoned but we drove north to Gainsville where no tbtimes was available. Finally we ended up at domino's. I opened the newspaper about ten pm and Ed Sessa was too much for tired Wilbur
So in the last hour I (almost)* finished xword and did FIR on the Jumnle

* Forgot to finish SE but KILN DRY and YEAGER escaped me. I had all I could do to grok POOPOO and CONF.
Keith, why did you cop out?
ReplyDeleteFor the monkey's stash.
Fln, kudos to Misty on a most excellent poem telling a stirring story about talent finally recognized. Misty's world is inhabited by such nice people.
ReplyDeleteChet seems to have come from a good family but not so Lois who seems estranged from her mother and there's no sign of a father in her past
We heard Chet's story in more detail: he floundered around in college and settled for less until an angel in a bouffant hairdo rescued him from a seedy bar.
Now Lois was way over on the other side of the tracks but found AA and clung to it like a life preserver.
Which it was.

"Animal Lover"
ReplyDeleteTommy always collected trash
and found in one a stash of cash.
His love of animals did impel
him at last his strong desire to quell.
So he bought a site
that was light and bright
and brought his first monkey home
the following night.
He now has many other animals to tend
and has become a neighborhood legend.
Took a few tries, but it finally worked:

To get your goat, Owen.
ReplyDeleteHeheheh.
Misty ~ Tommy lucked out, probably finding my Stash’s stash.
Looks like he put that windfall to good use.
Thank you. Reminds me of all the animal care shows I enjoy on TV!

Just saw your Wordle, OMK--amazing!
ReplyDeleteI sent a much longer message earlier praising your haiku, OMK, and thanking your for your kind comments, Wilbur, and telling you I looked forward to more Chet and Lois stories.
ReplyDeleteBut somehow that message got deleted. Sorry about that, but at least you know I'm thinking about you and your poetry.
A Legend in its Time
ReplyDeleteWhat would impel a monkey to try
To stash its banana far from anyone’s eye?
With no input at all from human brain,
It chose a site that could not be explained.

OMK- we had similar choices today. My second was a spring flower - lucky guess.
CEh! ~ Well, I guess it wasn't an ASPEN.
ReplyDeleteMy 2nd was not INEPT.
Looks like our monkey chose Misty's Tommy's trash heap.
Misty ~ I wonder how you lose so many messages prior to posting. Do you have any idea what sequence of keys you hit that makes them disappear?
Was your next-to-last word INCUR?
~ OMK
Lovely Monday poem, CanadianEh!. Great the way you worked in all the Jumble words and solution and even possibly something from Wordle into your verse? And I loved that you made it about the monkey.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, OMK, I think my next-to-last Wordle word was INCUR. I think my messages get deleted when I accidentally touch the large box on the front of the bottom of my keyboard that lets me move my arrow around on my screen. I'll try to start being more careful.
