Let me sing you a ballad about a Bubba and Bimbo,
And the time they deep-fried some okra for gumbo!
Now that Cajun concoction must contain the green veggie.
Without, it's just stew, no matter how edgy!
But the measure of quality of any pot
Is gauged by the taste when served nice and hot!
Now any Bubba knows, you slice 'em or dice 'em.
But the Bimbo said no, let's batter and fry 'em!
The crust that was formed kept the okra sealed in,
So when adjoined to soup, it just wouldn't mix in!
The put more in the kettle, until it was filled,
And the on the menu they had it "good" billed!

That's a great ballad Owen, as I guage it. I ran off the Jumble earlier then I saw your new site and I tried to remember if i had in fact done it.

I looked at your most excellent depiction , hadn't a clue so I grabbed the newspaper and it was all filled in.

In fact if I unscramble but don't immediately write it in I'll completely forget it after I fill the next one .

I also like it that I can type without getting jibberish on the screen like on the corner. I wonder why yours works and the other doesn't.

I compose my posts in a text to myself and cut and paste to the blog

Thanks for setting this up for us

This is great! I love your poem, Owen and laughed at the last line!

I finished the J in almost no time! I'm sure the whole thing was done in less than five minutes including the answer. Maybe because it's Monday.

Again, thank you for setting this up for us.

Nice place you got here OKL... Be a shame if something happened to it... :-)

#4 and the reveal took longer than the crossword puzzle. #1 would have taken even longer if you're poem didn't plant the unscramble in my sub-conscience - I had mumbo for a bit :-)

Cheers, -T

I hope that's not a threat! What are you saying?

I think he was saying he wants to be a moderator here. Isn't that right, Tony?

It's past 10 pm, so the solution can be revealed now.
