Turbo was his name, and charging was his game.
His turbocharged skateboard was his claim to fame!
He was faster than a scooter, faster than a bike,
Faster than a Prius, faster than a traffic light!
He was the type of cuss who was ornery to the bone.
He'd purposely splash puddles on people with a phone.
He made himself a wager on how many he could scare
When his turbo-board went shrieking through the air!
He'd go blazing down the road at a fearsome pace,
Always with a sneer plastered across his face!
And plastered on the visor of the helmet that he wore
Were the encrusted carcasses of flying bugs galore!
Clearly, Turbo is the sort of chap that will not scrape his visor clean. Those buggy carcasses are for him what the flags of enemies are to fighter aces. Under his feet the road rage, that used to be a peril limited to the streets, has now expanded to include sidewalks.
Even vacant lots and open fields may feel the scourge of his spinning wheels.
Pets and wild critters, every hound & toad, may serve as targets as he lords it o'er his widening realm.

#1 was a little tricky. The Riddle-Solution fairly mundane but ol' Turbo hardly that. He's blown his wad on fancy machinery.

Got all the Jumble words, but wondered if the first one was correct. Your poem instantly confirmed that it was--many thanks, Owen. I loved the cartoon (nice to see it in color here) and filled in the first word of the solution as FROM even without looking at the circled letters. But when I collected them, I saw that there was no F and no M, so that wasn't going to work. But it didn't take long to get the right answer, and I loved the way your morning rhyme confirmed it, Ol'Man Keith. Fun Jumble experience all around.
