A weekly meta crossword on the forum started by member Josh (aka madhatter5). These puzzles are often very creative with solving mechanisms out of the norm and skewing towards the more challenging. Puzzles are posted every Wednesday, and the solution appears the following Tuesday.
What do you call a rabbit hole at sea? Wouldn't the water just rush in? Lots of rabbit holes but .... something appears in the side there and if you pull at it.... and then. I'm off to sea!
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Fun Meta, thanks Woozy.
Um.... wow, I've never been thanked for writing a 6th comment before but I was glad to write my experience and pleasure with whimsy's puzzle, but surely the person who made the puzzle deserves more praise then a person who merely posted a comment about the puzzle.
But none the less you are welcome. Always glad to have fans of my 6th comment posts.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
By the way, thanks to all the clowder I was able to have this as my morning view for a while:

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!
Mrs. McBride, my teacher in fifth and sixth grade, must have liked the poem referred to in the opening post. She read it so often that I can still remember the first few lines:
The gingham dog and the calico cat
Made a meta puzzle in loose format
The entries were awkward, the clues were flimsy
Not at all like. . . .
Thanks, whimsy!
Claudia, you ROCK! Nice one, thanks!
