WORDLE #124

For Sunday Whirl: Inky, Wet, Scarlet, Oiled, Feathery, Sway, Sparks, Close, Hole, Shoots, Doubt, Plot.


SHAMELESS


Inky, wet, scarlet fluid gets you well oiled.
You're feeling feathery light as you roll and sway.
This sparks a close encounter with a hole in the road that shoots out in front of you.
Without doubt you've lost the plot...!

    When you've had too much elixir, those potholes can be murder. Like your economy with these words...I found them a bit difficult.

    Hahaha!! I had visions of a strong healthy elephant walking (waddling) down one of our potholed city street!! :D

    I marvel at how you can get an idea fitted with the twelve words in just four lines!! Awesome!!

    In Panama, I met a hole in the road such as you describe. It was a harrowing experience!
