Gee. I sure do miss you. When are you going to be up this way next?

Hmmm. Wlonk won't scan; but maybe w'lonk would. Wlonk seems to imply a 
vowel between the W and L. Otherwise, how would you even pronounce the 
darn thing?

Hmmm. Turn the page after "wlonk" and the next page's first entry is 
"wlonkful".

Wynn, if anyone in the world is "too wlonkful for their hat", it's you.
