I needed a hint or two to complete it. It was interesting.

Lemon squeasy today. Piece o' the proverbial cake. You can pretty much guess the solution w/o bothering w/ the lead-up words. They do make for an interesting quartet, however...

Vaccines have saved the nation
From much personal devastation.
But anti-vaxxers have demanded
higher purity as a standard.

Vaccines once were made inside eggs,
But spoilage rates were major negs.
They tried fish eggs with fine caviar.
Eagle eggs, but those weren't up to par.

Hens' eggs proved the best, but not perfect.
Research continued for what they could perfect.
It had to kill the virus, while not the person,
Not vice versa. But they found a solution!

I too thought this jumble was easy for the most part. The cartoon solution was obvious even without any clue words. Those words were not difficult except, as usual for me, the vowel-heavy fourth one. I had to reorganize its letters on paper and then it became clear.

The poem was interesting, in the way it started on a serious note and then went off in an eggy direction, lol. Fishy roe and otherwise.

Fun poem, Owen, and a totally easy and delightful Jumble. Got all four words without any problem--even that fourth one, one of my favorite party foods. And yes, the solution just popped right up without even having to check the letters. Nice to see it in Owen's poem. Great way to start the day.
