Anagrammatically Speaking : Neck Dye Spy

ANAGRAMMATICALLY SPEAKING: NECK DYE SPY (PROBLEMS OF MUM-DESIGNER ’S EMOTIONAL UPSET) Mum carefully inspects son’s neck for dirt; Pays medical injury expense for his leg-joints hurt. Good boat-design preserves celestial view above; But forgot keys for furniture in house-move. Use fast and energetic internet writing; Watch for bad stains on material due to crying. Peek, spy, seek neck’s speck; See knees spend dense pence. Deep end-deck keeps sky-scene seen; Pesky desk needs keys . Send! Speed-pens need dynes! Yes, seek Skype! Eyes peed. Spy dye seep deep. ………………………………………………………………….. Written by Sydney Peck ………………………………………………………………….. NOTES This busy mum has many problems in the first stanza, all of which are expressed in anagram-form in the second stanza. Each anagram word is formed from letters in “sydneypeck”

Wow!! I don't know how you did it, Syd, but this has to be the most clever series of anagrams I've seen. Really like the way you took the first verse and translated the entire story through anagrams of your name in the second verse. I stand in awe! Don't need to wish you luck in this contest. You nailed it! Love, Carolyn
