Junior tried to hide down by the creek.
His report card again was looking bleak.
But he judged his chances were pretty weak
After being revealed by some gabby geese!

Woohoo! Woohoo! I got all the items in this morning's Jumble without any problems at all. Then read the cartoon, looked at my letters, and the solution jumped right out at me. Woohoo!

So this gave me a chance to just enjoy the colorful cartoon this morning, and your delightful and packed morning poem, Owen. Cute and clever, many thanks, for making my fun morning even better. Have a great day, everybody!

Well, your short, very packed poem ultimately was my go-to for help. My problem was pulling a wrong letter from the fourth clue word. I knew I wanted a gerund, but the letter I needed wasn't there. So I went to your poem to verify the second solution word. Ok, but what's the first one?? Went back to the clues, discovered my mistake, and of course the first solution word popped right out.

As I said, this poem miraculously packs all six words into its short length. Very cool.

This was an easy solve all the way! I join Misty and Sandyanon in that sentiment. It took under five minutes altogether. And your poem, Owen, complimented it nicely.
I haven't had much time lately to do the Jumble but hope to jump into the routine again soon.

The cartoon reminds me of the federal judge who scolded the lawyer attacking the Mueller investigation.
Except that IRL the dark-haired He is a blonde She.
