Todayโs Humble Jumble haiku:
The oil was spiked to make me sick.
Only the audience knew.
โHey, (I was not) on my Guardโ
I dimly recall
the uproar, when I poured that
yucky canola.

The Jumble word fit well today.
Back to School in Saskatchewan
Yucky weather,
Poor canola crops,
Dimly lit skies.
The class of students
Was glad to play in the yard
After a summer cooped up.
Their uproar could be heard from afar.
OMK- I see that you had some if that poor canola crop. Spiked even!
Sorry!
Had I completed the CW first, I could have incorporated PRAIRIE into my verse. Funny how things DOVETAIL.
"Lucky Ducky"
The plucky ducky was lucky
to escape from a pond that was yucky.
He saw his future dimly
and feared it would be grimly.
When he finally came on shore,
he created a big uproar.
But some guy became his ward
and took him to his own back yard
where ducky gets canola and hay
and can now relax and play.

I wasnโt aware until today, CEh! that canola originated in Canada. So it makes sense for you to drop a reference to it as an atmospheric in your sweet schoolyard piece.
My mention of the oil was not meant to demean it. I was watching Penn & Teller and was imagining somebody on the TV crew tricking one of the competing magicians. (I know, kinda sadisticโฆ)
Misty ~ Your ducky was indeed lucky, but I think he became the ward of the โguy,โ rather than the other way around.
Ah, it seems heโs living the good life now. I hope he keeps his exercise up, so he doesnโt get too fat with all that food and him relaxing!
Would a Fitbit be appropriate?

I've been traveling from Dunnellon to Orlando to Sun City and mow back to Dunnellon
Misty- your ducky truly was lucky. Interesting how our thoughts diverged with the words we had at our disposal today.
Yes OMK- when I saw canola, I immediately thought of those beautiful yellow prairie fields. (Canola used to be called rapeseed- now thatโs yucky- but the name was changed, for obvious reasons.) The name canola is a condensation of "Can" from Canada and "OLA " meaning "Oil, low acid", but is now a generic term.)
WC- yes, the Wordle was difficult today.Safe travels.
Woohoo! Your helpful clue did it once again, though I first had to look up "phylum" to try to figure out what sort of a territory I was in. It turned out to be:

Thank you for this help, Ol' Man Keith, and also for your own delightful verse this morning. Did they give you that spiked oil on one of your stage performances? Hope it didn't mess up the play!
Oh, and you were right that the guy who adopted my duck was its warden, not its ward. But warden would hardly have rhymed with "yard."
So glad your students had a great return to school in the Fall, CanadianEh!. And, yes, this time the Jumble took us in opposite directions. Always nice to see where those words lead, isn't it?
Wibur, I'd love to hear about your interesting trip. Hope you have time to tell us about it.
Glad you agree, Misty, as to who was boss of whom.
Yep, I bet your duck was clever enough
to turn the tables (it wouldn't have been rough)
and make a guy take him on as his ward
and give him the run of that big back yard!
Not to say the guy wouldn't want to be warden--
I mean,
Who wouldn't want a duck in his garden?!
~ OMK
I'd be OK, Misty, if that ever really happened. The audience's "uproar"--a mix of giggles and "Ut-oh" groans--would have tipped me off.
~ OMK
Wow! Ol' Man Keith! Wow! Your haikus have always been a pleasure, but you are now beginning to join some of the rest of us with terrific poems! This last one you just posted about the duck in the garden with his warden may be my favorite of all time--a total delight!
Woohoo!
Another CC Word: WARDEN
Thank you, Ms. Misty....
But it's easy
to knock out a bundle
of words, EZ-PZ,
unchained to a Jumble.
Ah, the freedom
(like a verbal buffet)
Jack, Brie, or Edam--
What'll we serve today?
We can re-write at leisure
to improve rhyme or rhythm
and not have a seizure
'cuz some words are "given."
In the end, we each thrive
when the vocab's our own.
We feel most alive
(like a prince on his throne),
not needing to clone
another's vocal tone.
--and nobody's thrown
by J-words on the phone.

I got the news indirectly on the radio as I was changing from oldies to 90s.
It was yucky weather for Wilbur today traveling north
He could only dimly see the tail-lights ahead for what it's worth.
Oh, can you put your blinkers on, oh can ya? Voila that's better
Time to get off the road and stop at McD's for a setter
The news of the Queen's demise caused no uproar
Though for the new King's wife the English wished for more.
Harry and Megan heard the news while watching Archie play in the yard
Can they deport respectfully or turn the funeral into a royal canard
WC
Had to work at getting can oh la in there
