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.
Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteToday’s Jumble contribution
earns me one day off in the coming week.
“Soya-Root Ambrosia”
Miso-glazed turnips are served at shoku eateries,
a humane way to treat folk to Japanese cuisine.
Just a whiff of this grub caught on the breeze
will draw passers-by to swerve straight to the scene.
I’ll smell it & double-time to a deal so sweet & warm—
even I!—with a septum deviated from the norm.

"Supper"
ReplyDeleteThe eatery refused to swerve
and did only healthy meals serve.
The practice was humane,
and caused no one to complain.
Waiters did turn up to deal
double-servings at the evening meal.
And as a septum, for a small sum,
they would also serve wine and rum.
Went to bed early, got up late; haven't even looked at the jumble yet, but enjoyed the cartoon.
ReplyDeleteHave a good Easter/Passover/Ramadan, y'all.
Enjoyed reading about your health food place, Misty, and trust you visited my shoku, for that turnip specialty.
ReplyDeleteI congratulate you on your original use of "septum."
That was fun!
We are all original spirits, yes?--hardly to be dictionary-bound!
Thanks, Sandy -- wishing you the same, one of'em, anyway!

Glad you enjoyed my verse, Ol' Man Keith. Yours is totally amazing on this Easter Sunday, with a Japanese eatery and wonderful food. And there they were, all the Jumble words and solution, beautifully worked in. Never heard of "shoku"--a new word for me. But I'd love to visit your restaurant!
ReplyDeleteShoku is Japanese for “food,” according to Google Translate, Misty.
