LETTER BANK III

In a letter bank, the letters of one word are used - and repeated as necessary - to spell a longer word or phrase. For example, IMPS is a letter bank for MISSISSIPPI. That is, the only letters in MISSISSIPPPI are I, M, P, and S - repeated as necessary.

1. In the verse below, the second set of blanks contains the word bank:

"I will _ _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _ 
Mix  _ _ _ _ _ _ _  and baking
Soda," Bart must write
Fifty times upon the board and
Clean the room tonight.

2. In this advice from a cowboy, the letter bank is the second set of blanks

If you want a cushy ride,
Take the car;
There are no _ _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
On _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Answers:

1. NEVER AGAIN - VINEGAR
2. SHOCK ABSORBERS - HORSEBACK
