CABBAGE MAKES OFF WITH THE WORLD
With a large leap of faith, one could imagine clusters of emerald-green cabbage eclipsing by right, not might, every other strain of plant. King Cole would play heavenly harp and croon comforting lullabies in some ancient ritual, drop his coins into a well, and wish to take over the world. Please tell me this is a fiction ? Oh. Alan McAlpine Douglas Challenge words : leap cluster emerald cabbage eclipse strain harp lullaby ritual From Rhymezone Cabbage def. noun: informal term for money verb: make off with belongings of others ·······  ······· |

Hey Alan,
A definitely unique blend, beginning with the title... I translated this into the rise and fall of the sock market. I am not sure if my interp is right. I can't find anything I want to change... Dani ······· ·······Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Dear Dani,
Quite close really. Though your typo (SOCK market) does make me laugh ! The message is MONEY (cabbage) has taken over the world. No sign of the "fall" you mention. Thanks for the visit. Love Alan ······· ······· |

SOCK? and who told you it was a typo? LOL! It could be a comment on how valuable money should be. LOL Ah shucks! It is a typo.
Well no fall, but you mention King Cole's crooning and I sense a longing for times where being human meant more than being "green" I still love the uniqueness here dani ······· ·······Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
