  1. Good Morning, Everyone…I hope this finds you SWELL…
    🛳 LET’S HOPE THIS ONE DOESN’T MAKE WAVES…🛳

    🎶 I got to get to movin’, Baby…I ain’t lyin’…My HEART is beatin’ rhythm and it’s right on time…So be my guest, you got nothin’ to lose…Won’t ya let me take you on a SEA CRUISE?…🎶 “Sea Cruise” – Frankie Ford 1959 https://tinyurl.com/mej48cvb

    🛳 Not OFTEN is there beauty like this that one can view,
    Today it’s Jeff and Kathy…cruising on the sea of blue…
    But words like OBLONG and KAZOO…they just don’t fit the realm,
    There’s no way I could work them here…with ship and love and helm
    It’s not that I just SHRANK from them…it’s that they couldn’t be…
    A part of this romantic scene…as they TOOK A “LOOK-SEA” 🛳

    TOOK A LOOK-SEE… https://tinyurl.com/448u6hzn …A tried and true idiom meaning to BRIEFLY LOOK at something. And I’m thinking, any tried and true Jumble aficionado, knowing how often idioms are used, SEAing the quotation marks, and paying heed to Kathy’s dialogue, should hopefully get this solve without it making any WAVES…And just enjoy some smooth SAILING…That would be really NICE…Actually, that’d be SWELL..

    So…Jeff and the lovely Kathy cruising the Mediterranean SEA…. https://tinyurl.com/479ww5xv … and talk about a sweet suite! That window! This ain’t no PORT…HOLE in the wall here! But with Kathy LOOKing to TABLE the sightseeing until after she’s TOURed the dining room’s tables…time was of the essence…So they just GLANCED at the Sea…They TOOK A “LOOK-SEA” …Clever, witty…and hopefully not needing a second LOOK…

    And if you LOOK real, real closely, you’ll SEA the Signature Sinking Sailboat…for the second day in a row… way off to the left almost hidden behind the beef…I mean the reef…Sorry…just thinking about those cruise buffets has gotten me hungry!

    So…There you have it Folks…Done. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And I’ll leave you with some cruise humor…Two cruise passengers are lounging on chaises on the sun deck,reading. One notices that the other is reading a Che Guevara book. Interested, he asks him…”Excuse me for interrupting, but have you read Marx?” “Yes”, he replies, “it’s from sitting on these deck chairs so long.”…🛳🙋🏻‍♀️

    I STAND WITH UKRAINE 💔🇺🇦

  3. 🤷🏻‍♀️Her friends OFTEN TOOK A LOOK-SEE at the new OBLONG sculpture, but so far she SHRANK away from joining them to practice her KAZOO🤷🏻‍♀️

    🤷🏻‍♂️The time it SHRANK so easily, as OFTEN it will do,
    She hardly got to practice on her new love, the KAZOO…
    The tube shape, slightly OBLONG…fit well within her hand,
    And she had hoped to master it…thinking it would be grand
    ‘Cause ever since she heard its sound she hoped that she would be…
    The one who’d learn to master it…so she TOOK A LOOK-SEE! 🤷🏻‍♂️

  4. 🤷🏻‍♂️Jeff said he thought Nice was nice,
    Tried to pun at whatever the price,
    But Kathy didn’t laugh,
    At her other half…
    ‘Cause Nice isn’t pronounced as nice! 🤷🏻‍♂️

    🛳 On a cruise ship we see them afloat,
    Keep in mind that this isn’t a boat…
    Touring Europe and such,
    They’re getting to see much…
    Souvenirs home they’ll happily tote! 🛳

    🍷Jeff and Kathy our couple today,
    On the Mediterranean hold sway…
    And they’ll sightsee and dine,
    Caviar and fine wine…
    Will be part of the cruise ship’s entrees!🍷

    🕶 Much to see on this vacation tour,
    They’re enjoying everything du jour…
    And a week on the sea?
    There’s no chance of ennui…
    Guaranteed nothing will be a bore! 🕶

    ❤️ There’s romance in the air for these two,
    Cruises rekindle feelings anew…
    After 20 odd years,
    Easily it appears….
    That our couple? They still bill and coo! ❤️

  5. Hello Wednesday hump-day ! I had no problems with the anagrams and I started with the one lettered word A and I tried the four lettered word , so I did TOOK and the quotation marks gave me a clue and SEA was to view the Mediterranean and not to repeat View they looked , So I figured it out that they TOOK A LOOK SEA ! Great mid-week Wednesday hump-day jumble ! Everyone enjoy !!!!!

  6. Great poetry you have woven this morning, Angela…and with such rhyming, too !! Much like Jim, used the same methodology for what I thought to be the right answer…and it was !! Confirmed by unscrambling anagrams….so Hump Day was a minor success, so far. Will have to think awhile about your joke….

  7. Good morning. Back to my morning routine with the paper over breakfast and had a successful beginning. Easy words but no blind solve. Once I put the letters down it was quickly solved. Nice song choice Angela. Every time I hear it I think of the movie with Al Pacino. It was a good thriller. Until tomorrow stay well and stay safe.

    • Good Morning, Paul. Tk you. I think of it, too. Enjoy your day. Be well and stay safe out there…🛳🙋🏻‍♀️

  8. Whew, despite the multitude of letters , quotes and even a hyphen in the cartoon answer , I came up with the cartoon solution on an overcast cold morning!

  9. Smooth sailing here this morning too with an easy solve to both the anagrams and the cartoon answer. Have a good day all!
