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

  1. โ€˜Twas the night before Christmas,
    and all through the house
    not a computer was clacking,
    not even his mouse.

    Heโ€™d been jammed on Saturday,
    failing to greet Ms. Misty,
    so now her birthing day
    salutes, although heโ€™d wished heโ€™d

    been early. โ€œMea culpa,โ€ he cries,
    making the catch in his throat.
    โ€œMea maxima culpa!โ€ And sighsโ€ฆ
    then remembers this noteโ€ฆ

    โ€ฆ to remind readers of the blog
    that he must rest neurons, to conceive
    of better rhythms in his poetry
    and to enjoy Christmas Eve!
    __________

    MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY!
    And as Tiny Tim would say,
    โ€œGOD BLESS USโ€”EVERYONE!!โ€

  3. "Good Pet Bet"

    Sue liked having games to play,
    while enjoying a sundae on Monday.
    She liked the rhythm of words like 'suffix'
    and had fun tossing hockey sticks.
    In contests she was rarely beaten,
    and that did her victories sweeten.
    But when opponents did her outwit
    it made her teeth start to grit.

    One day she went to a vet
    and told him she needed a pet.
    He presented her with a whole set
    and she chose a cute piglet.
    Now her life is on a new shelf
    and Sue is totally happy herself.
