Sunday Whirl words are:
absence baffles cart bones flight language
longing rift rickety stutter sustain cliff
Absence did make the heart grow fonder
Baffled him to think that it was ever so true
She had been long gone over the yonder
Considerate though carted nothing of value
No bones to pick but it was a sudden flight
No language to describe the frustrations
Longings taking its toll and not that slight
A little rift and it triggered off a separation
With only a rickety jalopy to move around
Stuttered all the way along the rough terrain
Wishing to sustain love nurtured for so long
He had wished she had exercised restraints
Waiting alone with just a candle for company
Illuminating the night with images he remembered
Moon crescent over the cliff above just as lonely
How to react to rekindled love unrequited

That is really sad. Just a few misspoken words can end something beautiful.
