SATIRE COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio, August 2018.
Today's verses, along with their accompanying notes, have been published at OEDILF.com, the online humour dictionary. At the bottom of each slide, the identification number is given for each published dictionary entry.
SONGLINKS: The underlying concepts for some of these verses had been adapted as parody-lyrics and set to the music of an ABBA tune in 2013. See the blogpost "Canoe, Canoe, Canoe, Canoe, Canoe" on our lyrics blog "SILLY SONGS and SATIRE". The lines set out in the verses below evolved into a second nostalgic song about canoeing, which can be viewed here.

PHOTOS: Unless otherwise noted (by pale blue acknowledgment plaques), embedded photographs were taken with and transferred from Giorgio's cellphone. Following submission of the poems to OEDILF, the slides collages we present here were formatted using Powerpoint software on a vintage 2000-era PC computer. OEDILF has no involvement in the pictorial portion of this presentation.

I encountered this on my late afternoon cycle-ride through trendy Rosedale on a rainy autumn afternoon. In its second year, this festival, I found out, brings together people portaging canoes across a 17 km ancient aboriginal trail between the Humber and Don watersheds. At this point, the portagers had just crossed the Mt Pleasant Expressway.
GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR WEB-EXPLORERS:
To resume the sequence of daily titillations on our related blog "Daily Illustrated Nonsense", click HERE. Once you arrive, you can select your time frame of interest from the calendar-based listings at the bottom of the page, and check the daily offerings for any month from the start of 2020 until December 2024.
As of December 2024, there are 1800 unique entries available on the daily blog, displaying individual poems (often illustrated) and wordplay, but also with some photo-collages and parody song-lyrics. Most of their key elements are also presented here on "Edifying Nonsense" in topic-based collections, such as this one. The "Daily" format also has the advantage of including some song-lyrics, videos and other material that are not shown here on this topic-based blog.
