Cryptic Stuff

[not_for_sale]

While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. 🙂

The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

Bugleweed?

Correct twyngwyn.

"He blew it, the dope.  'Twas like a beautiful blue carpet!"

He blew it - Bugle (Hint - consider 'the last post', usually played by bugle)

the dope - weed (as in dope, hooch, MJ etc.)

Bugleweed - Is an excellent low-growing, evergreen groundcover. It spreads by underground runners (or stolons) that form a dense carpet of beautiful blue foliage.
