Glutton penning poem about stray animal in Asia (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
pie-dog
'stray animal in asia' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'glutton penning poem about' is the wordplay.
'glutton' becomes 'pig' (I've seen this before).
'penning' is an insertion indicator.
'poem' becomes 'ode' (ode is a type of poem).
'about' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'ode' reversed gives 'edo'.
'pig' enclosing 'edo' is 'PIE-DOG'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
