The opening poem contains all the words (or variations of them) from today's Jumble.

When Daisy May goes to salon, she goes without a twinge!
She gets her hair cut to bangs, before the ends they singe!
She gets her toes a pedicure, making the nails look pretty,
And on her hands the manicure will make her fingers frilly!
But Daisy May knows beauty is both the outside and within.
And so she drives to visit with her meditation guru, Mr. Chin.
Transcendental yoga is the flavor of the current day's asana,
To wash away existential guilt, and straighten up her karma!
The clues came pretty easily, and it's always helpful when a solution word is going to be a gerund. The nit I have to pick with the cartoonists is to wonder why the carpenter had to be stuck behind a cliche little old lady driver. Couldn't it have been just anybody else???
Again I'm amazed at how you integrate all those diverse words into a poem, Owen.
On hold this a.m. We were planning to visit Janice today (her mom and I), but just heard from her that she might be coming home. So we are hurrying to get everything read--just in case.
Meanwhile, I will re-print my late posting FLN:
Thank you, Wilbur--much appreciated.
And thank you too, Misty. Sorry you had to undergo a root canal, but it seems to have been a painless, if long, procedure. How neatly coincidental with Owen's poem!
The following is for the Jan. 29 Jumble:
It was a lively town. Walking down the main drag at night, one would encounter scores of shucking and jiving males and an equal number of squealing females.

And BTW:
A lovely poem this morning, Owen!

Delightful poem, Owen, and it made me realize that the second word I put into the Jumble answer wasn't correct. Had to look it up, and, it makes even more sense of the cartoon. I kind of liked the elderly lady with the sunglasses and the little dice things hanging down the car window, Sandyanon. But I hope the carpenter wasn't just yelling at her but also at others in front of her slowing down the traffic. Otherwise he was a bit obnoxious.
Ol'Man Keith, how wonderful that Janice may be coming home already. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it happens. And your gloss on the solution is a treat, as always.
Good, no rhyming Wilbur today. Daisy Mae and Lol Abner the stars of early dogpatch and of the musical derived from the strip. But as an avid reader of the 60s(and 50s) it was usually about the other characters. Tiny Tim, Granny, buxom women etc. A lot of Beverly Hillbillies action seems mapped from the strip.

I wanted ESIGN which in the title world has become common. If EMAIL ever is accepted as a verb or noun then e-sign logically follows.
Having all but #1, the solution fell quickly and hence e-sign became-----.
That driver doesn't look so old to me and she's just one of many. They're probably coming home from Boston on the SE Dristressway.

* I noticed Google accepted email but wanted a dash on e-sign
No word yet from the doctor on Janice's release. It is getting late, so I'm assuming she'll be coming home tomorrow.
Her phone is on voicemail.
She's getting her s l e e p.

Whoops!
I see I did not italicize jiving males properly.
Sorry.
