Well it may be a stretch, to idle and stall
Yet 'tis the sound of the Coyote's first call

An English saloon, guzzler of a kind
With room in the front as well as behind

I've got her covered, as she can see
And still on the loose, bearing testimony

Off shore in other words my name thus compounded

And the coolest of circles I can almost be found in

He's no longer available, the inquiry's been submitted
It still isnt legal though, to have him committed

Free rides to the first, then quits lickety split
Different social classes, gets away with it

When put on paper it lacks any bite
But when left alone ferocious it's quite

Well connected as usual are the two of us
Now give me a hand t'beat the system thus

Your fortunes in the balance just may hang
So in seventh heaven those feelings explained


When the eight are known you'll get credit for that
Then for what it's worth there's one more to have at

[Wilson]

3. burka?

7 vying?

[plainglazed]

yes indeed Wilson, for number 3. need different for the others. sorry for the slow response. here's hoping you enjoyed your weekend. happy Monday.

[Thalia]

Can I get an explanation for the latter 3 parts of #3?

[Wilson]

can see = can see through veil, or eyes uncovered.

still on the loose= loose fitting, not figure hugging

bearing testimony = having to wear something that shows your beliefs, or woman of a certain group/ age.

[Wilson]

4 banns?

5 train?

[plainglazed]

thanks for the explanation, Wilson. neither of the above but one is quite close.

[Wilson]

crack?

[plainglazed]

nope, 4 was the close one.

[Wilson]

tweet?

[plainglazed]

sorry no, want to say more but better not.

Ohh. So less focus on definition. Hmm. .

[plainglazed]

hey Thalia - dont know about less focus on definition. The fifth is actually four different definitions of the same word. There are certainly mere discriptive clues. But generally these are two line What-Am-I's. Of course with a little wordplay most of which is a more literal meaning vs the idiomatic meaning/common use of a phrase. Can think of two instances where the wordplay is different. One of them already discovered by Wilson in the first clue - "'tis the sound of" hinting at a homophone. And a different instance in the sixth one. Hope that didn't throw you off...too much.

[Wilson]

Time for a shotgun play...

Maybe I worded that poorly. I meant the whole line isn't necessarily strictly a definition. More of a description in some cases, as you said.

[tiger_lily111]

walk

[tiger_lily111]

engage (mostly from Wilson)
