Jackie: How does one cheat at this game???? Not the game--that particular post. Or clue, rather: I ran Damn Adler through Anu's I, Rearrangement Servant, got Dreamland, then Googled to see if there was a poem by that name; got lucky the first shot. (That is, that the poem had a one-word title; there were a million quite a few possibilities to check for 2 or more word titles.)

Poetry An onnicle Politics is the art of saying what you mean but disguising it.

@ Jackie. That's not cheating! That's being resourceful! Half the fun of this for me is learning new things that I have to look up both to create and to solve these darned barnicles.

I agree with Beck. Half the fun is learning something new! Besides, how could it be cheating if we ain't got no steenkin' roolz?

I agree with Coffee and I agree with Beck but with a proviso, viz...
If half the fun is learning something new,then the other half of the fun is also learning something new, because it is semantically impossible to learn something that you already know. smile

And that's a steenkin' rool we do got. smile
