Today’s Jumble haiku:
(Sickly old rich Brits may seem to some members of their nursing staff to warrant being relieved of their misery, but it must surely be a crime.
Yes? …)
”Advisory”
It is likely a
fraud to infuse the gullet
of an ailing toff.

CanadianEh! ~ In case you’re seeking a haiku title in spooneristic form,
ReplyDeletecheck instead the final 2 words of the poem itself.
The title is reserved for a J-word today.

In a kind of culinary beauty contest, top chefs were asked to pass judgment on the best-looking jello salads.

I did think it might be a starter for some
WC
The pelican is a fraud in the avian world,
ReplyDeleteHis beak looked small as at fish he hurled.
He doesn't need a visor to see into the water
To track fish, oblivious to coming slaughter.
(Pardon me a moment while I infuse this play
With excitement:) Dive! Snap! Fly away!
Once in his maw, his fish-tote unfolded
To hold any leftovers, while seagulls scolded!
He can munch on a fish larger than his head
He opens his gullet, to his gut fish thread.
Do they make fishy squeaks, or scream
That trail off entering the alimentary stream?
When food in the bird feeder runs low, a creative person finds an alternative use.
ReplyDeleteFailing Trough
Shall we feast on crane?
Don’t think it odd,
Or create a fraud.
Find the recipe page -
Infuse with garlic and sage,
That gullet once stuffed with grain.
Top culinary advisors maintain,
It is best served with champagne.
Owen- I loved how you alluded to the W by leaving out the surname. Was Z the incorrect letter in your last guess?
ReplyDeleteWC’s second last guess ending in a K?
OMK- yes, I see where you used the spoonerism today. I got it into my title, but had to make a crazy back-story (to match my crazy poem). I hope it creates smiles today. I smiled that you were infusing the gullet too (but with a more lethal substance).
And what a graphic view Owen gives us of that pelican and his eating habits.
Wow.
"Good Judgment"
ReplyDeleteHis colleagues did Frank laud
for exposing a troublesome fraud.
His years serving as an advisor
had made him sharper and wiser.
He took care never falsely to accuse,
which did confidence in him infuse.
His gullet kept him from jailing
the innocent, and to keep trailing
those that to jail should be sent.
For these good deeds Frank was praised,
and his salary was raised.
Misty- wonderful poem about Fred who thankfully received credit and increased wages for his exemplary work. I enjoyed your rhyming couplets. All our judges should have a gullet like Frank.
ReplyDeleteOl' Man Keith. Once again, can't believe you worked all the J words into your tricky haiku, ending with your amazing rhyming of "trailing off" with "ailing toff." Cracked me up--a total delight.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, Owen, what a complex verse you constructed about a pelican fishing for prey, and you too worked all the J words in, while having us follow the fish working their way into the pelican's 'gullet.' And then the solution, having the fish " scream" as they "trail off entering the alimentary stream."
CanadianEh!, your play with the Jumble solution is even more clever, with the way you worked the solution ("trailing off") into your poetic title ("Failing Trough"). Wonderful!
And thank you for the very kind comment about my verse. You made my day!
Wilbur, your Wordle always makes me want to try a Wordle

Woohoo!
Stephen, of that name,
ReplyDeletesought fame,
with his '95 novel
(helping to upgrade his hovel),
winning prizes galore,
about the stresses of war.
His hero, young Fleming,
wouldn't rush like a lemming
forward to the fray.
In fact, he ran away
but in the end showed his mettle,
& maybe earned hisself a medal.
