Possible Title: The Ayes Have It
Theme: Second words of four phrases begin with the same letter as the last letter of the phrase’s first word, and the four second words rhyme with /ayes/. (I understood this when I wrote it.)
Good Ones:
Red, blue and green food colors? STANDARDDYES
Living proof PULSE
Scout’s honor AWARD
Relative of mine OUR
Raise canines? TEETHE
Pea jackets PODS [they’re woolen coats named from a similar sounding Scandinavian word, not for patrol, which I thought when my father wore his home from the Navy.]
By the Way:
Lesser partner JUNIOR [I thought Frank Loesser, the songster, who partnered with Hoagy Carmichael, for one]
“Same old, same old” NONEWS [Friday morning quarterbacking: I’d clue it “Good news, at times.”]
Who knew?:
ASSISI is the home of Poor Clares or that they are nuns --- and I wrote a novel about the pope and Catholic doctrine.
RATING: ;D ;D ;D Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
