Oddly, I got a notification that I should show sorrow for
posting a non-lipogram. I would, but our initiatrix also
put a non-lipogram, so I am justifiably not doing so.

In reply to:

Apologies to Bingley if I've offended you. It was not intentional. I don't want to offend anyone. Well ... no one on the board, anyway.


My faith in AWADity is restored (or should I say is back?)

Bingley

You find fault with my words?
I am with out doubt, its truthful. But I think, if a fault occurs– worldly (and word-ly!)scholars can point it out– our aiming for godliness, shows to all, humanity. And by doing so, (highlighting my fault, that is) you can but only assist my striving to the goal.


Agast- no tricks or tool- I try to work my mind-and now- how could I miss it? From first attempt, a mis-apt word! I'll don a hair shirt, and sin not again. And if as humans, do, any should fail for a first (or again), an addict is about to mark our shortcomings!

an apology is obligatory– I, of troy, am sorry –and bow to you–all

From first attempt

Try to avoid this word.
To avoid this word, try try!

But, of troy, don't stop now. Your prior posts show you can do this task! I know, from my first go, how hard it is. A word slips through, and all your work is to no avail. What to do? Try, try and try again!

thank you– I add humbly, half of all posting– or about as many, list Of Troy– not as long as posts from Jakarta- or points south but I did try and try again to draw in and ..

It was a thought– all could join in.. But not many did- I can only think it was not a lack of skill–quickly scanning post- shows skill abounds-but a failing– to hard? Or not hard at all? To witty? Of showing a total lack of wit? I wait for posting from all and sundry... not just a my own scant showings. I sought an out pouring-- not just from two or four but a flooding of words...rich and wild.. Moist with thought --growing daily...

a dry, arid scant showing is all I got – not a flood of words from all–only a flood from two. And small posts– small rain on a dry land-- nothing grows..

it is a joy that so many did try– and put out so much– and caught a mayday girl making a glaring faux pas–again and again- such a poor showing!

I would call you by sugar or syrup of hard working, flying bugs–how gross that sounds –but my thoughts–gold syrup–gold sugar--gold sugar liquid..Midas has not as much gold as I would wish to you..

So to a long night and holiday songs I go.. and as days grow long again, I might find I am wrong.. And this a just slow to start..that will fruit and grow in bright light of coming days or months.

I, for one, grow weary of the "no ee" edict, and wish that someone had gone for something a bit different; such as "no ess" or "no pee" or whatever. perhaps a different sym. wood pose fewer probs, but the variety might provide for a bit of non-heavy entertainment. [grin]

The first Christmas sound
The member of the host did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
Recumbent in the hay

A tiny contribution, I know but word antics are not my thing but on seeing your sadness, oh mighty troy and tsuwm’s Christmas message – I thought, "What the he...ll!" Oh Sh*t! Never mind have a lovely No-el, anyway!
