The opening poem contains all the words (or variations of them) from today's Jumble.
Comments are welcomed! And couching them in Poetry is definitely NOT required.
Do not explicitly reveal any of the actual answer words until after closing time, but embedding them surreptitiously in comment sentences is encouraged.

I get it.
Bu there wouldn't be enough room!
FLN, Misty ~ Just wondering if you saw my question last night…?
Today’s Jumble ~
CONTEXT: 69 years ago, I earned my Beekeeping merit badge at Boy Scout Camp Royaneh.
“Uncle Ed” was our teacher. He was great at relieving pain from bee stings,
but out of his depth with other critters’ assaults.
In today’s haiku,
she knew insects, not vipers.
She carried her own…
“Bug Tote”
“Honey” was a guest
beekeeper at our camp—use
-less bitten by snakes.

I liked this one, the cartoon did not give away 100% of the solution so I needed to finish.
"Kitty Romance"
Peter liked to quote
a poem that he wrote
while sailing on a boat.
He had spent a bit of money
to make the voyage sunny
for his beloved Honey.
She was a delightful guest
whose jests were among the best.
And so Peter was quite smitten
and bought her a very cute kitten
that had bitten a campus thug.
In return, Honey gave him a hug
and their relationship is now snug.
Ol' Man Keith, I'm sorry but I didn't see your question last night, and I don't know how to get back to the site. Could you e-mail it to me, or just ask me again?
I am curious, Misty, don’t you see the dates of all previous postings on the side (margin) of your screen page?
Honey seems to be appropriately appreciative of Peter, provider of cruises & felines.
I would add a sub-title to your verse—“Hello Kitty!”—as the main reveal is the lovable kitten who doubles as a fierce guard dog.

Well, OMK, you're right. After I scrolled all the way to the bottom of the empty part of the page, there were the dates of previous Jumbles and I was able to check yesterdays.
I had actually tried to solve your haiku yesterday but ran into a problem with 'azimuth.' I looked it up, "measurement of a spherical coordinating system," but that didn't tell me anything. I did see the Jumble words LAGOON and DOILY, and figured 'skewed it' equaled 'totaled it.' But I didn't see TOKEN or BUTTER anywhere.
If you could just explain your haiku to me, that would be nice.
I'm glad you found the dates, Misty, and were able to re-visit yesterday's posts!
The reason I asked whether you could "decode" my haiku is that I sought to embed the J-words you mention by masking them.
I like sounding poetry aloud, and if you sound out some word combinations, you should hear the missing words--words that are no longer missing.
Forget "azimuth" (which is simply a compass direction, a tool I used in my forest-hiking days) and listen instead...
to the end of the first line and start of the second...
and then to the two first words of the third line.

I was just trying to picture an entire pirate crew on a tugboat, and the image of them all crowded together made me laugh.
Thanks for your suggestions, OMK. It worked: sounding them out gave me the solution phrase and all the Jumble words in your haiku. Brilliant!
