Congrats Peter and many thanks Aristo for a fun challenge. Thanks for the vote Buddy and mention Geeker.

Thanks, Geting. I’ve attempted clues in the form of a haiku before. I think the last time was for the word “spring” and was rather more successful as a cryptic clue than this one. They’re not easy but quite fun to try.

Very nice Peter! Cheers Aristo.

Well done, Peterm, and thanks to Paul for your vote. Appreciated the mentions from Tyke and Spike, Baccy and Dorrien. Thanks also to Aristo for the challenge and the clip.
