one word reruns: vows

Following Dee, as follow we must:

downy empress,
she will go far:
not in your kia -
well, there you are.
it doesn't help
that jello smacks of
incense &
perfume smacks of
horse:
the rest is in the bin
& for you there's
less to force.

One Word is sleeping in today - the word is still vows!

Dee: Jello incense: what kind of smell is that?

As of 4:07 CDST, the OneWorders are still stuck on their vows.

why would vows be forced? and if forced, are they still binding?

I think jello incense must smell better than horse perfume (except maybe to a cowpoke or a Texan).

I believe that the kia company may have something to say about your accusation that she will not go far in a kia. If I recall they had an ad campaign showing some guys driving around the world in a kia, even in the Gobi Desert; of course, that may be a guy thing, and women don't go far in kia's because the colors don't match their outfits or their jello mold salads for the church bazaar.

Perhaps the one-worders are stuck on their vows because originally said vows were forced??

Ms T: Hey, I'm not down on the Kia at all: take it up with the empress: she's not concerned about longevity or mileage, she's concerned about style. That far she wants ain't about distances, you know that. What concerns me, when I wrote the word horse, was that the narrator (remember: does not necessarily = moi) was referencing horse, as in heroin. Now, that's a dark night I was planning for on the oneword playground, but it sticks, every time I hit that line (lord, help us out of this Freudian mess from the non-Freudian). I think downy chica's all boxed up: she, too, might think that life is so empty without earrings.

I wondered if horse meant heroin, too, but decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. Does heroin have a perfume? I thought it was probably odorless and the only perfumy kind of horse I could think of was of the four-legged variety. They certainly have a distinctive odor.

T: Not sure that heroin need have an odor for the downy empress: the aroma - the allure - would be entirely psychological. Yikes.

aah, and now you've invented perfume for psychic empresses only, something like the emperor's new clothes, I suspect. Way to go. You'd better have a kia to get yourself out of town when she catches on.
