  1. Good Morning, Everyone…🥾SOMETIMES HIKING CAN BE A REAL…ITCH🥾

    🎶You can look…but you better not touch…🎶..”Poison Ivy” – The Coasters 1959   https://tinyurl.com/yp3ras2f

    🥾That one COHORT, not all that wise, the others don’t agree,
    To follow him…a big mistake…they def see what they see…
    They’d rather REVERT back somewhat…not walk his mentioned path,
    There’s poison ivy clear as day….no way they will ENACT…
    ….To go the way he’s pointing…forget a hidden path…
    A SHAME for sure to make contact…and then the aftermath? 
    He needs to follow them instead…and not create a spat…
    Just listen to the others…and be sure to SCRATCH THAT!🥾

    Those SHORTcuts can sometimes cause a major problem in the LONG run…

    So…Today…Into the woods…Where we meet there friends, LEAF, BERRY, and HAIRY…out hiking…where they come upon Poison Ivy… https://tinyurl.com/yk3s24ta …And Leaf, either not paying attention, or unaware of what poison ivy looks like, is blinded by the PLIGHT…and RASHly suggests walking through a shortcut. Luckily, both Berry and Hairy see the poisonous plants, and let him know, in no uncertain BURNS that there’s no WAY they’re following him…they said…”Forget it…We’re ITCHing to LEAF…So…SCRATCH THAT”… https://tinyurl.com/3vxz5xbk …And this one’s so easy, breezy, we’re able to LEAF it in no time FLAT…It’s definitely one of the simplest ones we’ve had FOREST long as I can remember…

    So…There you have it, Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And this puzzle reminds me of my friend, who FLORA longest time said he was interested in BOTANY…and finally took it UPON HIMSELF to do some research. So he went hiking in a nearby forest….where unawares, he came upon poison ivy. And not familiar with its look, he figured he’d take some leaves to study…obviously a RASH decision…’cause no sooner had he gathered it that he was ITCHING to go home…And of course, once again, his STORY didn’t turn out VINE…Definitely not a HARLEY QUINN novel…despite POISON IVY being there…(IYKYK)…🥾🙋🏻‍♀️

    .

    And a Shout 🗣️Out to David…All new anagrams today…🔠🙋🏻‍♀️

  2. 🤷🏻‍♂️He felt it was a SHAME, that before they could even vote to ENACT the new law, his COHORT said, “SCRATCH THAT”, and opted to REVERT to the old policy…🤷🏻‍♂️

    👎🏻 His COHORT claimed it would bring SHAME if they were to REVERT,
    Back to the what things had been before…and said, “ENACT this Burt…
    The times have changed, and we need to get rid of the old hat…
    To remain in this rut of ours? …No way, so just SCRATCH THAT”…👎🏻

  3. 🥾Hiking always has such an allure,
    Walking…taking in sites to explore…
    And to do it with friends,
    It always can lend…
    Enjoyment that offers much more…🥾

    👍🏻Fresh air and beauty on array,
    Flowers, bushes and plants…such display…
    And there’s usually a route,
    Which is best to pursuit…
    To keep oneself safe on your way…👍🏻

    🌳 But forests are very well known,
    To be places where some foliage grown?…
    Isn’t wise to pursue,
    Hidden ‘round yew or two…
    It’s tread carefully where these are shown…🌳

    😱 And today…Poison Ivy we see,
    …Seems to have produced itself a spree…
    Hairy warns it’s all ‘round,
    So the path Leaf has found?…
    Is definitely not his cup of tea…😱

    🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️As as Berry also shows alarm,
    They’re both trying their best to stay calm…
    So that shortcut of Leaf’s?
    ‘Fore it brings on the grief?…
    Best to heed Hairy and Berry’s qualm!🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️

  5. Could use a slice of that Lemon Meringue pie right now….YUM. Took a few minutes to solve today’s puzzle. Didn’t think of SCRATCH right away and COHORT flummoxed me !!! With words finally unscrambled, put it together quickly. Thanks for fun post today, Angela. Terry

  6. Paused on enact,which always seems to stump me,and then cohort,but was able to solve the cartoon having the letters.Chuck.

  7. When you’ve got a tremendous itch

    For an idea you want to pitch

    Think ….. is it off the beaten path

    Will it cause a lot of wrath

    Could there possibly be a glitch?

    Don’t get under anyone’s skin

    (And some skin can be terribly thin!)

    If you’re suggestion’s too brash

    It might cause a rash

    And oh what a state you’d be in!

    Helen

    • 🤷🏻‍♀️This has taken on a different slant,
      Not pertaining per se with the plant…
      Yes, mention of an itch,
      But the puzzle? A switch…
      Yet of course a reply I can grant…🤷🏻‍♀️

      🥾The idea today deals with a hike,
      But perhaps the theme you do dislike…
      And the thought of a rash,
      While making a splash…
      Has taken on a different strike…🥾

      🔠 Yes, you’ve broadened the theme…albeit,
      There’s still talk of one having true grit…
      And of causing a glitch,
      When one’s feeling an itch…
      And of course limericks do permit…🔠

      🤷🏻‍♀️…A free hand when making a point,
      Even when there’s a bit of disjoint…
      So the ballpark you’re in,
      Since you have mentioned skin…
      But the Ivy? There is no anoint…🤷🏻‍♀️

      👍🏻So, yes off the path of today’s theme,
      Kind of leaning just a tad extreme…
      But the rhyme does make sense,
      Even if quite intense…
      Still one can follow your thought of stream…👍🏻

      • Angela – I merely try to expand on what I see as the big picture. I create a framework for the limerick as I’m doing the jumble, usually in the morning, (but not as early as you – I’m sound asleep at midnight I’m glad to say)- then check to see what limericks you have posted. If mine is very similar, I don’t post it at all as it would be redundant and I’m a great believer in economy of words! I then see if I can come up with a more general approach – i.e., is there a lesson/moral/metaphor here that I can take a bit farther, for the interest of readers of this website? If I can’t manage that, then I don’t post at all. C’est tout!

        P.S. I enjoy hiking.

        • Helen…No need…it’s all good. This is merely a game…I don’t take it as anything more…And yes, that’s all! 🥾🙋🏻‍♀️

          • I truly enjoy reading Everyone’s comments. Please don’t stop !!
            Thanks, Stan

  8. Good morning. Had a slow down on cohort but after getting it and putting the letters down the cartoon answer was successfully completed. This is the third attempt as I put it aside to attend mass today. All those named Mary. Happy Name Day. Loved your song choice Angela and your post as usual. Until tomorrow take care.

    • Good Afternoon, Paul. Kudos! 👏🏻👏🏻…And thank you. Take care. 🥾🙋🏻‍♀️
