Do not explicitly reveal any of the actual answer words until after closing time, but embedding them surreptitiously in comment sentences is encouraged.

"Model Wife"

Sam summoned his wife to discuss
her posing for his new canvas.
Since a model he couldn't afford
and her body he adored
he wanted her to wear a bikini
or to once again dress like a genie.
She was happy to do either or both
to support his artistic growth,
and hoped this time his art would impress,
and turn out to be a great success.

Maggie in her brief bikini,
On the beach caused a scene-y!
Someone needed to tell her
How it should be put together!
The two triangles weren't a throng,
Two breasts in one piece did not belong!

With her mammalary surfeit,
A large crowd soon surfaced.
Those two growths on her chest
Would not form at her behest.
Time after time, one would pop,
Either Hermione or Hyssop!

This show they could afford,
Pulchritude ineptly poured.
Authorities were summoned,
The crowd saw them commin'!
In a canvas sail again they wrapped her --
Kept on hand for her tenth chapter!

I’ll still count this as my day off, but I didn’t want to skip showing below—how six J-words can make sense, all squeezed or squoze into a haiku.

Background: In this example, I appreciate how hair that’s called to be shaved within a bikini line, might instead be saved for bristles on an artist’s brush.

”Time & Again, a Choice…”

Hair growth affords a
summons—either bikini-
lined or on canvas.

Poem a little racy this morning, Owen, but what can one expect with a Jumble word like "bikini"? Lots of fun, of course.

You did it again, Ol' Man Keith--worked all six (!) Jumble words and solution into your haiku, giving every word a distinct moment! Brilliant!

NOT so tough, Misty ~ We did it in three!

You show how to avoid raciness. Your poem employed a BIKINI to keep things under wraps, as it were,
Artists routinely paint fully nude portraits, but your hubby offered his wife a cover-up.

Now Owen, OTOH, shows why the traditional BI-kini really ought to be called a TRI-kini.
Hands up, anyone else who remembers the MONO-kini of the early '60s!?
(More successful, I believe, in Europe, although the designer, Rudy Gernreich, paraded a model wearing one on the Marina in San Francisco.)

Small world dept. ~ Owen : I wondered why you chose Hyssop as one of the darlings’ names.
Google tells me the herbal plant was used by the Greeks as a “paint brush.”
Check out the 2nd usage for the bikini hair in my poem.

Hermione is from Harry Potter,
Hyssop is from the British comedy Keeping Up Appearances.

Ol' Man Keith said...

Thanks, Owen!
I’ll keep my silly version for now.

As for Hermione, the Greeks would lay claim to her (they’ll claim everybody!), but I’ll go with that noble wife in The Winter’s Tale.
There was always a flirtatious (but distingué) bounce to her.

No2 was DEATH. Not NYT material I should have realized

Misty, wonderful, readable poem today.

Owen's poem (he meant THONG of course) certainly caught my imagination. Not just the cover-up above but below too.

I think I read HP:1,2,3. Hermy-ownie is still very young but I believe becomes quite the character later.
