Preview of this fall's offerings. Target date: November 10.
This post is a continuation of...
Tourists' Palindromic Guide: The Americas #1
Tourists' Palindromic Guide: The Americas #2
Tourists' Palindromic Guide: The Americas #3
SATIRE COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio (registered pseudonym) and Dr. GH, 2018.
WORDPLAY LINK: Panels showing palindromic phrases derived from geography of the Americas were originally displayed on Wordplay posts on this blog during the interval from 2018 to February 2019; the current examples have been developed since that time. Geographically focused concoctions are among the many palindromic treasures honored and displayed on this site. Check out the list of entries for "The Palindrome Suite".
SONGLINK: Some readers will be delighted (others will continue to groan) at our collection of songs based on palindromic phrases -- click the link to the initial blogpost in this series to make these links available as well.

Immersible Bird-Verse: WATERFOWL #4 (P to S)
PARODY COMPOSED: Dr. G.H. and Giorgio Coniglio (registered pseudonym), 2019/2020, a continuation of prior blogposts about waterfowl.
Readers who enjoy poetry describing the natural world around them with illustrative images and informative text, might also enjoy these previous blog-offerings, each a collection of eight poems on the wider topic...
Verses about Waterfowl, June '19
Verses about Waterfowl (part #2), July '19
Authors' Note:
fress is a loanword verb from either German or Yiddish implying eating heartily or snacking frequently.
delicatessen has been applied to both high-end retail food stores selling unusual and imported prepared foods, and to restaurants preparing German, Jewish or other ethnic cuisine (frequently, the two functions are combined). It may also refer to the products purchased in these outlets.
Sushi is not among the expected foods in such an establishment, so the analogy to a pelicatessen for waterfowl has been unexplored until now. At least in Canadian official documents, for the sake of gender-neutrality, fishermen are referred to as fishers.
After initially using this neologism (word-creation) as a descriptor on the blog "Edifying Nonsense", and misconstruing it as his personal invention, the author became aware, via the internet, that there is a restaurant located at a resort on Bald Head Island, North Carolina with that name. Although that fact is of interest, it is of limited relevance. Seabirds are apparently not served at the establishment, either as customers, or as menu-fare.
