While you've wandered around aimlessly the World has turned a spin or two.
Now it's not what you've
LEARNED but what you've
EARNED that attracts the chicks.

We usually do the words one at a time and give the others
a chance to reply, not replying to our own creations.
There is a minimal of seconds difference between you reply and
mine and yours was not on there when I posted.
I posted and then deleted when I saw you posted to your
own reply. Which word are you suggesting we try to reply to?
I am not part of whatever plot is thickening, thank you.
