Today’s Jumble haiku:
(If there are only two tastes involved, maybe we should be…)
”Staking out Three…?”
Submit your perky
caviar to a two-prong’d
taste test? — Salt? Tart? Or…?
~ OMK
Chuck was nonplussed by anything that was said.
Sometimes it was like his ears weren't attached to his head.
At the movies one night
Shout of "Fire" caused a flight,
But Chuck was the last of the people, and stayed!
I started with my cow variation, and worked my way letter by letter to Canada Post, then a nasty splotch to reach a solemn conclusion.

Staking Up the Place
Let me be first to submit,
My very black thumb to admit.
My garden’s not perky,
The rows are all jerky.
I need two-pronged posts
To support all the hosts
Of plants that have stayed there bone dry.
I have ER backup on standby.
"Holiday Shift"
Thanksgiving was going to be perky
with all that gravy and turkey.
They planned to open up a bar
to serve champagne and caviar.
Dessert would need recipes for baking,
and with all the time this was taking
they finally decided to submit,
and admit they were going to quit.
So this Thanksgiving would be held in a new space:
a restaurant with healthy food and some grace.
The family celebrated this new course all day long,
with cheering and singing a song.
Owen & CanadianEh! ~ You share the same Wordle reveal, a common homophone for 642.
Both provide us with humorous finales, while CEh uses her last line to embed the Jumble C-word (minus that first phoneme).
Speaking of that word, I was the only one to award it pride of place. CEh gives her garden central billing, while Misty adds it with champagne at Thanksgiving!
One of today’s P-words shows up twice, both times preceded by “two.” Strangely, Misty hints at it in her final couplet, but never gets around to actually spelling it out.
Fascinating!—how we converge and diverge in response to the same limited set of words!
Proof that they don’t restrict our imagination…
~ OMK
Not sure of your first word, CanadianEh!. I guess it could be STEAK.
But then, STAMP & STAIN. Right?
~ OMK
My usual opener is some anagram of ASTER.
I swear I didn’t read anyone’s post before I submitted my own. Yes OMK, it is amazing how we converge and diverge. That’s what makes it so special.
Back later. Time for supper.
In that case, your first word today was STEAR*.
I thought it might be because of your hint ("cow variation"), but then I didn't believe you would accept the misspelling.
"cow variation" = BeefSTEAK seemed a fair 2nd choice
~ OMK
____________
* I don’t know if Wordle will accept the acronym, but your anagram narrows the choices.
Misty is late for her return visit. She must be having a busy day.
The rains have finally abated here in SoCal, so she may have spent some time outdoors today.
~ OMK
OMK- all these years I have spelled the beef cow as STEAR to differentiate it from the verb Steer. Now I see that I have been misspelling. Wordle accepts it, and the Scrabble dictionary lists it as an archaic form of steer. Maybe I can claim a Canadian spelling.
I see FLN that WC gave us Lois’ view of the wedding (he used a three-P approach, OMK!). Champagne and caviar, and off to Aruba - what a celebration. I threw my garter at my wedding reception; Lois threw her girdle?!
Enjoyed everyone today.
Misty- wise move to have Thanksgiving at a restaurant. I’m having everyone for Easter and my plans start already, including cleaning and baking. I don’t think the grandkids are getting caviar.
Just a FYI that I don’t really have a black thumb (my gardens usually do well, and I have flowers and plants in the house also). My poem just went that direction today.
Hard not to want some CAVIAR after doing this morning's Jumble, isn't it, OMK? Hope you enjoyed it!
Hope Chuck survived the fire, Owen--and he should definitely get his ears checked.
Oh dear, CanadianEh!, so sorry your garden is having such a problem. You should be spending your spring in southern California, where the rain just keeps coming and coming. Not always fun, when you need to get out and do things, but our gardens and parks and hills are all greener than they've been in years.
Wish I could have spent my day in the sun outdoors, OMK, but there's still income taxes and offer stuff to deal with these days.
Wilbur, thanks for all your comments last night. Hope you're having a good day.
