Green Female and Blackmail


Wordle 291

Not easy to make any sense out of using all the words in the given order, while also creating a rhyme, this week!

 

In green ball gown she rings the bell;

After admittance, a penguin-suited

Waiter will lead her in, as well

As furnish drink-tray with glasses fluted;

To festive board she goes, but eats,

In talk, no more than what a mouse would bag;

Men the orange to suck for sweets —

She has their secrets taped on disk, the hag!

      I was forced to get a bit long-winded to make them work, this time. The hardest thing was arriving at a narrative to facilitate the use of all of them, never mind in order!
