1. I’m rooting for the cat! Although I feel a bit bad for the crow

   1. he was just hungry, is all 😀

2. Fun! Maybe a bit gross too. 😆
   I will (attempt to) add one to the mix:

   To the kitchen the vegan did strut; she’ll not be eating crow
   At the chopping block is where she’ll be, cutting eggplant

   Love learning new poetic forms from you! 😄

   1. Michele, that’s super cute, but it’s not a schuttelreim because the final two words of the two lines don’t rhyme – they’re not a spoonerism…

      1. Thanks teach! I realized that after the fact. Guess I am eating crow, with a fork, not a spoon! 😆 Here is my modified attempt, with a rhyming couplet~

         From the garden she grows her meal, she culls evermore
         To the kitchen the vegan does strut; she’ll not be eating crow

         1. Eating crow is a tough one.

            The spoonerism would sound like – creeting owe, but that doesn’t mean anything… Not all words have workable spoonerisms.

            1. Oh, got it! Yeah, I did pluck a tough one! I will just go chop some veggies now. 🤪 Thank you for the schuttelreim lesson. 😁

            2. Much love to you, Michele 💕

            3. Thank you. Same to you, David. 💗 I just read what I wrote, that doesn’t even rhyme. I should not attempt rhyming (or chopping) before I have had a cup of coffee. 🤣 My schuttelreim sucks, but it has been fun. 😁

            4. I just didn’t want you to feel slighted by me!

            5. Never! Critique away. I created a schuttelreim mess! 😂 I will try again. Later. After my cup of morning joe settles in.

            6. It usually takes me 2!

3. Another one! You are on fire… but then I read the comment about doing them ahead. Still impressive and a real work out for the grey matter…

   1. yep – I need to do 3 more in order to get a full week’s worth 😀

4. A crow? I’m not so sure about that. You need a rhyme for pigeon. (K)

   1. *giggle*

   2. smidgen?

   3. ok, Kerfe – here you go:

      Crow, or: Pigeon

      1. You honor me David.

         1. It takes 2 to tango 💃🕺

            1. At least two.

5. Love this! 👏

   1. 💝 Lucy 💝

6. Ok here’s my first attempt:

   I went to buy some cooking fat
   And tripped over the flipping cat 😹

   The family friendly version doesn’t quite work…

   1. That’s awesome! 😀

      BTW, I’m writing these because I want to get ahead in my #APoemADay game… so I wrote 7 gogyohkas for this week, now working on 7 schuttelreims for the following week… and then,… not sure yet.

      1. Wow, you are really schutteling ahead 🤩

      2. Is that like cleaning your teeth five times a day for a week and then not cleaning them for 4 weeks? 😉

         1. *laughing*

   2. BTW, “fooking” seems tame enough to me 😉

      1. I wasn’t sure 😅

7. Yum yum, though they never seem to sleep here, is that the same as eating crow? – No, not half as tasty

   1. 🍴 Crow. It’s what’s for dinner. 🍴

      1. ‘Eating Crow’ be humiliated by having to admit one’s defeats or mistakes.
         “the so-called experts will be eating crow tonight

         1. 👍 Andrew 👍

            1. 🖕👨‍🏫
