It was generally acknowledged Tweety was a cagey guy.
He always got the better when with Sylvester he would vie.
Every situation was delt with, thru poise and aplomb.
He found the "mean old puddy-tat" as dangerous as pablum!
Although canary yellow, Tweety Bird was no coward.
He drank a monster potion, twas the puddy-tat who cowered!
The dinky little bird was just a mouthful for Sylvester,
Who assumed that his tweeting would no longer to a pester!
It wasn't too surprising, the letter from a caller,
Road Runner invited Tweety to being a Rhoads Scholar.
While Sylvester struck a deal to become a new Quixote,
By learning from a mentor, to wit Wile E. Coyote!
Love the poem, Owen! A real fanfic tribute to iconic feudsters.
You take me back. Loved Tweety when I was a kid, and loved him outwitting Sylvester at the drive-in movies with my folks.
Here's a random thought. Nothing to do with baseball or pitchers, but outta the blue as t'were...
If a sound engineer wanted to record live feedback noise--say for future SFX use--mightn't it be said he would mike a squeal?

Yes, a delightful poem, Owen--I too loved Tweetie and Sylvester in my youth. Gosh, haven't thought about the drive-in movies in years, Ol'Man Keith. Seem to remember they were the places where everyone made out in their teens.
Well, I got all four Jumble items without a problem, but the solution eluded me. So silly, once I looked it up and realized I should have figured it out immediately. Only four hours of sleep last night (insomnia). I'll blame it on that.
I couldn't get #4 until Owens poem. Then the solution first word popped out of the poem.
Yes, Mel Blanc was creative but he made me late for school at lunchtime. But I had to see that last cartoon.

Yes, the drive-ins were "passion pits." But not for me, as I didn't drive in high school. My main memory of drive-ins was as a kid with my folks, and later on when I had a young family, and we could all squeeze into the car.
Fortunately, my steady HS girl friend lived right next to a lovely park.
