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

The mall of the future ain't here today,
It's due to change in many a way.
The herbal store, full of nature cures
Will be hisbal, with artisanal beers!
At the entry, a flock of enhanced geese
Will take the place of the mall police.
They'll honk at the electronic sign
Of a credit card that would be declined!
An appliance store will belong there
So U.S.B. ports won't stay bare.
I'll give a plug to the wiring floor
Of the electric outlet outlet store!
FLN, Misty great eye. Methinks I was hasty plus "FILCH" is such a neat word.
I've had trouble with the preview function and had mistakenly used "Select All" which now is excessively long for blogger.
Thus.. Plus....
Our master has recovered and given us another "GEM" so we don't have to see what gem Bilbo fit)we get/ we. Absconded with. Yep, that's the ticket.
.
Ps.. I knocked today off with pen and paper. The four J's and a couple of letters and voila.

Ps, preview still doesn't work (for Android)
Owen deserves credit for believing in ways malls may adapt--and therefore survive! Sears needs to hire him.
Goldilocks sat in Papa Grizzly's hard chair while the police paraded likely ursine culprits for her inspection.
The latest suspect was a slightly built cub. His round eyes begged her mercy.
"No," she said, as she poked a finger into the young fellow's soft muscle tissue, "this is precisely the wrong bear."

Had a momentary hiccup with clue three, but once having all the letters, the solution was obvious. Maybe too obvious? Reminds me of yesterday's literalness.
That is one weird mall, Owen! Your creativity astounds me.
Enjoyed your poem, Owen, with all four words and the solution included. And your fun play on the cartoon is always a pleasure too, Ol'Man Keith.
I got all four words of this Jumble with only a moment of play with the fourth one. And the solution then fell right into place. Didn't know that Anacondas reside in South America. The ones in the cartoon sure seem very
happy there.
Hope we also get your poem, Wilbur--a regular Jumble treat.
Woohoo! Both an Owen and a Wilbur poem on the same day--Jumble can't get better than this!

I agree. I thought this was overly literal.
But, strangely perhaps, it was closer in spirit to Monday's than Tuesday's.
Longer, rather than Shorter, but still....

I can't say I'm able to keep up with all the Bilbo/Smaug shenanigans, but I do get a real kick sounding your verses aloud. Your sense of rhythm is sure. When you don't try for extra-long lines, I trust your meter absolutely.
I'm not so certain I like the switch in your rhyme scheme, but I am old-fashioned that way.

Yes,Wilbur, you make me want to read the book, though I've actually never been able to get into Tolkien's style, for whatever reason. So I probably won't -- read it, that is. But your poems are very engrossing.
Sandy, FLN-3; yes, sartorially not satirically.
Thanks OMK, Sandy and Misty. Yes I switch from aabb to abab. Coleridge did it too, no? "The Hobbit" started as a story J.R. read to the kids. The plot thickened. No more kid stuff.
One could almost start reading it from the point in time that Bilbo and the dwarves arrive at the mountain. Which is where my verses began. The style changed quite a bit plus J.R. gets allegorical eg. "The Battle of the Five Armies which was Germany, Austria, England, France and Italy in WWI.
The movies of course are modern entertainment as pioneered by Disney, Lucas and the Marvel/Avengers movies. One of the dwarves (either Herb or Al) falls in love with an Elvan princess
And finally.. Owen your work is at an all-time peak. I assume my humble doggerel doesn't step on any toes.
Cheers..

Ps. I do try for rythym but "foot" is another thing.
