      Ugh! Phone gremlinoids tonight. My final punctuation mark is intended as a period. To be clear.

      Period late,
      She
      missed a period.

      Oy vey!

      I was playing with hyphenation — compound words. We see 7 words there in a 6-word zone. It is meant to be:

      Shine-sheared legs,
      holding hot Wheel,
      E-bike-bloodied.

      Please adjust the submission.

      Merci (which, of course, is etymologically connected to Mercy)
