@ Subramaniam- today it must be his cup of tea!! He should be able to solve it before his cup of tea gets cold!
ReplyDeleteHow true if it ! Yes, Sir, You hv judged me - rather my level of solving. If the language of this sentence is right, I wud say that u hv decoded my psyche - like the signals sent by the spies, decoded by the Army at the other end in WW-II. 😁😁😁
Delete!!!!
DeleteVladimir was watching the movie 100 RIFLES with OCULAR delight. Humming the song "Tu cheez badi hai MAST MAST".
ReplyDeleteThen he SUDDENLY left his house IN A HURRY and bought some FLOWERS from the nearby florist.
"I have put in my EFFORT. Won't be SHUNNED" thought he.
What happened next?
As he crossed the THRESHOLD of Anna's house, IN A HURRY,
ReplyDeleteWith a bunch of FLOWERS and scented small NOTEBOOKS;
he heard IRATE words and SUDDENLY, the sound of RIFLES going Bang Bang!
Before the RICOCHET could finish he was inside the door.
There, SPRAWLED on the floor, was the loan SHARK Putin.
It was obvious that his immediate needs would be only a coffin and an EPITAPH!
But wait....Where is Anna?
Should he run from this PROVINCE or continue his EFFORTs of looking for her?
Lovely CW LV.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy but v v nice word plays.
Loved
RICOCHET, IN A HURRY, THRESHOLD.
Thanx!
