Corners turned & fates revised–so balances the beam
A splayed delay, then RICOCHET as CHAOS slings the schema
Reveal: A plinth–a LABYRINTH–a HINGE-so creaky door
Outside a bride who’s stir’d & fried her veggies with a spork
Macabre or humdrum? All relies on THIS; the wine uncorks
[or: Macabre or humdrum? All relies on THIS, the road that forks]

Ipse dixit, I hope. [smiles]

    In Quebec, we play a variation called pichenette, or pichenoles, depending on the region you are from. The pockets are quite a bit larger but the principle seems the same.
    Do people really use sporks in regions of the US? It’s a nice portemanteau word, anyway πŸ˜‰

      Michel, the Spork showed up because the acrostic had a K there and that was the only way I could figure to finesse that line. Sporks in the US are almost always plastic and found in fast-food To Go bags. A metal one could be used for stir-fry, but I’ve never tried it. πŸ˜‰
