ReplyDeleteToday’s Jumble haiku:
(Sometimes magnitude matters among lower orders, but the smaller types tend to be feisty.
Thus we welcome more…)
“ Dendrobranchiata Cooperation”
Shrimp are a tenth the
size of prawns, but they oppose
bids to commit scale.

Operation Coho
ReplyDeleteSalmon population dwindling to a tenth
Motivated the volunteers to alter the damage.
They committed to construct fish ladders,
Enabling the salmon to spawn,
Bypassing the obstacles that oppose their journey
OMK- you did better than I did and I only had to determine one letter. As WC discovered at guess three, there were too many possibilities for that second letter!
ReplyDeleteYour haiku title sent me to Google; learning moment that dendrobranchiata is the scientific name for prawns. And although prawns do tend to be larger than shrimp, your “tenth the size” was an extrapolation made necessary by the given J words. Smart creatures!
You are correct, CEh!
ReplyDeleteMy measurement of the difference in size between certain crustaceans may be off, but I can only report their own findings.
Shrimp, in particular, may be prone to over-react—and under-estimate.
Your clever poem shows either a fine technical understanding of fish farming or a finer sense of comedy.
If you mean to construct fish ladders to save them the effort of leaping, don’t you also need to endow them with little hands & feet?

"Couple Cooperation"
ReplyDeletePete went fishing for prawn at dawn
and worked at it at great length.
When all the other fishers were gone,
he finally caught his tenth.
His wife did not his fishing oppose
but neither did she commit--
she stayed home and did lovely poems compose
that had rhymes with considerable wit.
And so the couple's clear communication
based their marriage on kind cooperation.
OMK- maybe it’s a Canadian thing that I know about fish ladders.
ReplyDeleteSalmon
Misty- what a lovely relationship Pete and his wife have forged. She sounds like someone who should be invited to join this blog.
Sorry to be slow responding.
ReplyDeleteJust back from another round with the dermatologist...
So, those "ladders" are't a joke! Eh, CEh!?
Could've fooled me. Canadianly sober, I guess: Fishery ecology.
Misty ~ Pete seems a knowledgable shrimper, starting early and working it late.
The DW knows her role,
steering clear of his occupation.
--her negative communication
a.k.a. "cooperation."
His obsess--sion
with the crusta--cean
earns no need for vituper--ation!
