10 of 12 given words:
fry gift manner star silence sand
mar charge stormy wired
having other fishes to fry
a gift to reward one's efforts
in a manner not on the sly
to the Bahamas southwards
star offering not known to silence
golden sands on a scenic beach
crowded vacation destination
to mar the natural-like peace
charged up with urban life's challenge
an ideal choice to let off steam
away from stormy unsolicited tensions
to bask in peaceful heavenly dreams
could one be faulted on an indiscretion
that could go a long way to appease
a mind all wired up with office problems
be kind to oneself to be well at ease

ReplyDeleteI'm fascinated by the indiscretion. What could it be, I wonder?
