Today’s Jumble haiku:
(The girl was cast as a fairy in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
She had to leap onto the forestage and pronounce her lines, beginning with “Swoosh….!”
Right on cue, she…)
“Spread (her Cue) Sheet”
Adapting above
eleven on the apron,
she delivered, “Swoosh!”
~ OMK
In fairness, I should explain that I am using two forms of stage direction in my poem.
“Above” refers to the traditional upstage/downstage positioning, whereas “eleven” uses the arena staging notion of a clock face.
Here I treat the stage’s apron as an arena set, with some of the audience seated on the stage proper.

"Good Cook"
The cook, Cindy, wore an apron
and she found her job much fun.
She some clever recipes mapped
and did a few more adapt.
Then the oven she did heat
and cooked, using her spread-sheet.
Her eleven recipes sold with a swoosh,
and did her chef reputation push.
Our German cook knows that a large quantity of an ethnic favourite will be required.
Paradoxically, she chooses a Scottish word to order her cabbages.
(Speat - Scottish variant of Spate meaning large amount, a rush or flood)
Shred Speat
Ironed apron
Ready to don,
Recipe to guide,
Adapted to divide,
Food processor plugged ready
To swoosh those cabbage steady
Into sauerkraut.
Eleven days to ferment!
Ol' Man Keith, I hope your fairy got a huge round of applause from her audience after her swooshing performance!
CanadianEh!, haven't had sauerkraut for a long time (in Austria we had it all the time). Makes me hungry for some sausages too. Let's hope we all have a lovely post-Thanksgiving dinner tonight.
Well, Misty and I were in the kitchen, while OMK took his apron to the stage. (Don’t worry- I don’t know much about stage direction and appreciated the explanations.). I could just visualize that fairy leaping onto the stage at the 11 o’clock position, shouting out “Swoosh”. Big smile!
Misty- Cindy will have to adapt another eleven recipes for a cookbook sequel. Maybe she could add sauerkraut (with sausage and pierogi). Yummers! I smiled at your adaptation of a spreadsheet to use in the oven (like a cookie sheet?). Very innovative.
Good evening all. I’m off to make my sauerkraut. LOL
OMG, CanadianEh!
I am truly impressed--gobsmacked, as the Brits say--by your Spoonsurreal title!
Speat, really?! And to flip not just the letters (which would be impossible) but the opening phonemes, that took full-on artistry. Wow!
Your poem displays a fine-tuned structure, not just of rhymes but of a climbing syllable count! Outstanding!
Misty ~ Your poem itself did not write,
Cindy needed to be seen your touch by light.
Glad we are she had so much fun,
her many recipes being better than none!
Through her may you kraut vicariously enjoy;
may it umami convey and never ever cloy.

Loved all your discussions of food today, OMK and CEh!.
And I was especially intrigued by your mention of two words that were unfamiliar to me: pierogi and umami. Had to look them up and I gather that pierogi is some kind of filled dumpling, while umami is not actually a food but a taste sensation created by various foods. Is that possibly right.
I just can't believe the things I learn on this blog nearly every day!
Thank you both, so much, for your always helpful and intriguing messages.
P.S. And thank you, as well, for your delightful and engaging poetry today, Ol' Man Keith and CanadianEh!.
Yes, umami is the latest addition to our tongue’s taste sensations, joining sweet, sour, salty, & bitter.
Food experts have had a hard time explaining it, but I think I have got it. I believe it’s the deep, yummy savory we get across the blade and sides of the tongue.
The Japanese are its great fans, and the word is theirs.

Have a great night's sleep, and a delightful Sunday coming up tomorrow!
