Week 13 Wordzzle

Managed a Wordzzle!  Crammed it all into one and at least did it in order.  Posting from email, so the fancy linked image is out this week:( 

Go see Raven and the rest of the Wordies by clicking the permanent little fancy linked image over there and finding her Mr. Linky when it goes up-------------------------->

This Week's Ten Word Challenge is: sergeant, lunatic, peanut butter and jelly, cyber space, flattery, musician, auspicious, cardinal, paprika, flowering plum tree

And for the Mini Challenge: sinister, magazine, American flag, rain storm, chess board

My sergeant was a lunatic.  Often covered in peanut butter and jelly, he cruised cyber space for flattery, often hitting on the odd musician, while the other privates played chess on a footlocker. One auspicious day he hit on a cardinal asking to be covered in paprika and tied to a flowering plum tree.

The sinister sergeant had to go.  We emptied a magazine into him and disposed of the body to save an American flag, despite the rain storm.   The chess board was left at checkmate.
