Electricity is a subject only few understand,
How power can travel thru a thin metal band.
Let's imagine a pole in a dimly-lit room,
Then enters an atom, (a vixen, va-va-voom!)

The atom grasps the pole and gyrates around.
Electrons are cast off, (the effect is profound!)
The tempo speeds up, the fervor never ceases,
Ions are produced, and gee - string fill increases!

Then, with a lightning bolt, a spark, and a flash,
The electrons eject, with their powerful blast!
With a sigh of release, the room to relief yields --
Thus are created electro-coil energy fields!

Well-rhymed, Master Poet!
And I believe an egg may be said to be a hen-urged y-yield.

Well, I needed help with #3 and #4, so I came to your poem, Owen. Loved the poem, with its unusual theme and energy. Once I got the two missing items, the solution just popped right up. Great fun. And I love seeing the colored cartoons on this site, Owen.

Ol'Man Keith, I bet you've written rhymes and maybe even puzzles, haven't you? Your comments are always so clever!

Hi. This jumble presented a small problem, when the last clue wasn't immediately obvious. I did have the second solution word, so after staring at that fourth clue for a short time, it popped out and with its letters the solution did too.

I'm guessing that first solution word gave the impetus for the poem's theme. But the juxtaposition of two totally different ideas -- atoms and pole dancers (lolol!!), was Owen-ingenious.
