[Phred]

Temper, temper, Zip!

How bout some B's, please?

[zippy-kat]

Sorry! lol

How's aboutz a 'g'?

[Karen]

Yes, I did write it, it's first line is from a lovely hymn I could sing you!

I had goofed and left out an H - so before I add your letters, it should look like this:

In s-eet fields -f a-t--n
The --ld lea-es are fallin-
The d--s -ar- and -hase the-
Th---h their -asters are -allin-

The -ats sit -n -ind--sills
And ta-e in the -ar- s-nshine
All the h-rses -r-- their hea-- --ats
T- prepare f-r --ld -interti-e

All the d--s, -ats, -irds and --nnies
That -e all l--e and treas-re
Are s- -lad f-r their -ar- h--es, n--,
-hen n-rth -ind -rin-s --ld -eather

Which may help you with at least one of the words you're stumped on.

I'll go add your letters and post again in a minute.

Are so glad for their -ar- ho-es, no-,

U please.

[Karen]

Well, Phred guessed one correctly, but doesn't want his to count, and Zippycat missed a letter, though it's one that already in, so it was just a typo ...

So what shall we do?

[Phred]

I vote for Zippy-cat to be declared the WINNER!

GO! Zippy!

[zippy-kat]

Just to be difficult (hey, it's a woman's right) I'll vote Phred! hee hee

[Karen]

Careful, you two, or I'll give it to Dixieland Dancer for the highest score!

I say if no one else guesses by tomorrow, we give it to Zippycat!

[Karen]

The answer was:

In sweet fields of autumn
The gold leaves are falling
The dogs bark and chase them
Though their masters are calling

The cats sit on windowsills
And take in the warm sunshine
All the horses grow their heavy coats
To prepare for cold wintertime

All the dogs, cats, birds and bunnies
That we all love and treasure
Are so glad for their warm homes, now,
When north wind brings cold weather

Well, no one else has guessed. So I say we give it to Zippycat, who just missed an s on the horses coatS.
