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.

Background: Outside of Anchorage, the Eagle River CHINOOKS of the Alaska Baseball League play their home games.
In their northern clime, they often endure drizzles.
In this haiku, the team mascot, an “angry salmon,” leads the crowd to root for the Ground Crew.
“Parka” (the Mascot, calling on the crowd to cheer):
Scat (with real) Spirit!
After this inning
we’ll hoist the trusty tarp (lest
this field turn to mud)! !

WC said it last night, “an off the wall word”. I wasn’t sure it would even be accepted when I entered it!

A cold day at the ballpark,
Ninth inning tied.
Warm in my trusty parka,
I hoisted my team’s pennant
And cheered for the primo player.
That’s the spirit!
One of the reasons English is the modern Weltsprache or lingua franca is its welcoming absorption of words and phrases from other tongues.
Today’s Wordle answer is a primo example of such utility.
CE, was your 2nd word either OPINE or MOIST?
(ORIEL and ROILS would be backup possibilities.)
Your free verse is an excellent team Manager, lining up all J-words, & then some.

I had a 10 Am Emeriti meeting to attend this morning, and as a result, no Jumble verse.
But I just sat down with breakfast cereal, and got on Wordle, and I got it in three tries.
Woohoo!

Neat Wednesday Jumble verses this morning, Ol' Man Keith and CanadianEhh!.
Many thanks for those!
Welcome back, Misty!
PRIOR?
Was that your 2nd try?
I wonder if my earlier fear of Wordle will come to pass…
That it will replace this site’s purpose.

Thanks OMK. Yes it was MOIST.
Thanks Misty. Glad you made it here.

How about you, WC?
Did you have PRIOR before the final answer?
