Fun play at this location; I think I know how mayhap.

I was calling to mind this:
Out in Gaia's Abundant Arachnids' Land is an author of a publication for solicitors. To avoid prudish folks' blocking transport of his work, a word that marks that lascivious act of child-making is writ "six," or "sax," or such.

What did I in my yard Sunday last?

I spun wool to yarn.

And wow, you too did stray. How about a translation of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"?

Poor is my inclination of mind in this ... but I try!

Row, row, row your boat
Mildly down the rill,
Happily, happily happily,
Anima is a thrill.

or

Row, row, row your boat
Mildly down the brook,
Happily, happily happily,
Anima's but a look.

Yuk. Told you. No rhymist I.

How cool! And do you own animals who grow wool? Llamas, that is? Do you avail of a spinning round-thing? Apply caution, so as not to prick your thumb with a sharp pointy part.

Nay, nay. It was good and you did optimal rhyming. Only, you did post a taboo symbol, and did it again. Try finding function first to find taboos for you.

In Nfld., soil has much acid and much rock (but is not musical!). My colourful plants thus grow amid flat rock and small rock, and many plants-that-grow-wild. (Justification for calling my island "th' Rock").

But, my tulips and daffodils finally display colour, and form bright spots in foggy days, as did occur during last six-plus-unity days! I am afraid my young basil was burnt by a vigorous sunbath on Sunday, and I must bury small pips again, for a not-first try!

I will post illumination to you by fast mail. And to any dissimilar AWAD-folk who wish it.

Baa, no wooly animals in this yard. I buy wool shorn. And, I do avail of a spinning round-thingy, on four supports with no sharp pricky point, to spin yarn. My spinning apparatus hails from Kiwi-land, to boot, um, sock.

Many thanks, Faldo - my optics spark on sight of this old post. (Difficulty of posting nothwithstanding!)
