Tim may I have your permission to include 'Larcenous Bird' footle on my footle blog.It is a unique variation of a footle using same word rhyme?

Very clever sets, Tim-- I like the spin with the double plays. I concur with Timothy that Dam it/Damn it is great! Congratulations!

Congratulations on your high place win Mr. Tim! These were super clever in my opinion. I wrote a footle once like this where the rhyme was the same (but the meaning different) ... but yours were especially funny. The slave-driving beaver is the star in this set.
