Shirley you've spied the tele to the extent that you are familiar with the *service to which "the kaintuck" and I have spouted as triptych?

No, I don't think he has,
O cryptical one.
That hint, he missed, as
Another old pun.

Crying, are you, she said?
Let's not call him Shirley
Unless serving abed
Each night and plum early.

I'm *officially down-grading this from obfuciary to ancillary... (and don't forget my current *sense of direction)

...fwiw, "abed each night" is about the same time as "plum early"!

PBS teleported a sit-com from BBC titled "Are you being served?"... any more hints necessary and I'm moving to Jakarta. BTW, how are you, Bingley? Safe. I hope.

You're welcome, Sweetie! Served up a bed of commentary on that racquet, didn't I? Did you like my numixmatic word, "cryptical"? [aside-whisper e] (Now watch, you-all, he'll up and tell me that's a real word.)

Dr. Bill, I forgot to tell you earlier: I LOVED your word,
"Zildtch"! Very apt, it were.

My Sweet musick, if you go to Jakarta, I'm coming with you.
