Today’s Jumble haiku:
(The fancy restaurant tries to pass a burnt duck off as a Pigeonneau parfaitement pressรฉ. The menu claims it comes from the restaurant’s own pond. To disguise its true origin, a sub-chef tries drowning the so-called “squab” in brandy.
It is hard to tell if the hiccups are emanating from a customer—or from the dead duck…)
“(The) Luncheon Pot”
This “pigeon” might quack
or hiccup before being
fished from a damp gulch.

To get today’s Wordle, you don’t need to be bright;
It’s what I do when I type, or what YOU might.
A homophone would be right, but it’s not what you’d “ ….. !”
~ OMK
A jigsaw puzzle. You can decide how many pieces to break it into, but you will have to come back here to 30 pieces to post a comment. And maybe read my poem at the end of working it.

Ask me about it, it's what I do.
I don't do letters, but I'll do it to you!
It's not some rite
That we'll never get right.
I'll do you off if I ever ghost you!

Lunch Squawk
The gulls chirped and the ducks quacked;
The pigeons gobbled, then cooed and snacked.
As I write, nary a hiccup is heard.
That’s meal time with the birds.
"Heard Bird"
Pete had a pet pigeon that loved to quack,
and he enjoyed feeding it a seedy snack.
He lived in a gulch, so it gave him a hiccup
whenever the mail brought him pick-up.
One day they brought him some lunch,
and he punched the clock
so his sandwich he could munch,
while the pigeon enjoyed
hearing him crunch.
Listening to dinner hour by Canadian’s enough to deafen,
as she and Owen provide a homophone heaven!
Misty adds her sandwichy section to a lunchtime symphonic,
helping our little blog to start a week most harmonic.
‘Tis a tonic, most euphonic!!

A neatish rhymey title, CEh!
Classic dbl rhyming, Misty.
I describe mine as “internal Spoonering.”
~ OMK
OMK, your rhymes are getting better and better every day! And you are giving us more and more of them! Yay! You've become a genuine poet, so please in that capacity stay.
Owen. Owen, we love your poems, and are so happy that you post us.
So please keep sending them every day, and never ghost us.
CanadianEh!, it's great that your birds are so quiet, because your poem is a riot!
Sorry for the silly verse,
it's just my effort to reimburse.
Enjoyed your jigsaw, Owen.
Didn't think I would because I reckoned it would be too hard to resolve an abstract design. But the edges worked well, and I found myself addicted for all of the 12 minutes (& some secs) it took to do it!
Thanks. Maestro!

Thanks for the jigsaw Owen. Beautiful abstract art and poem to describe it. OMK, I hate to boast, but I did it in 3:34. But I solved in 30 pieces which is probably easier.
Misty- a pigeon that quacked must be a rare bird. We did have a noisy bunch today. Those words we were given led to much hilarity. OMK’s drowned squab May take the prize for the worst menu item.
Misty- with the homophone clue and Owen’s poem, you should do well with the W.
(I’m turning in early after a busy day - we had a great time and perfect weather. And of course, Niagara Falls never ceases to impress. I try not to take it for granted even though I have seen it countless times over the years.
CEh! ~ I didn’t think of timing until I saw the clocked finish. Even so, 3 minutes is impressively FAST! Brava!
I didn’t change the number of pieces. I didn’t read any intro, so didn’t know we could.
Misty ~ Today’s rhymes were among the easiest, but thanks anyway for the compliments.
I think anything that ends in “-onic” has an easy time of it. I do feel I am getting a better handle on poems. But not because of my rhymes; it’s finding more security in my meter—in two ways: managing a more conversational rhythm per line, and varying the end-stopped lines.
The latter feels more critical for me these days. I really worked hard on my Sunday sabbatical piece for that.
My opening quatrain was too sing-songy for the longest time—until I found a way to make the line ending in “you” turn the corner!

Thank you for your very kind comments, OMK and CE, much appreciated.
