HEIST Neptune’s treasury? Perhaps. Yet thief must
DROWN, descend to depths past light, past
ALGAE, steal the sunken horde, ascend hoping
BELLE, lady of the reef, deigns a kiss for his revival. Then he must quit the sea, never turn his back on a trident.

DROWNed in adventure, pirate
HEIST in her lifeblood.

Missing C
BILLY, that pleb, stands sole without a C today, while
ULCER, RACER, MINCE hoity-toity sit in C array.
RACER, ULCER, MINCE say C is here to stay, else

Hodgepodge 2
MINCE followed by meat in association game,

BILLY, well, goat, Bob, or club-wrong spelling for Holiday,
ULCER, that one gives pause, preceded by peptic, yet succeeded by . . .? What a pain in the gut is ULCER!
Stumble
BILLY club to the gut of sophistication leaves an
ULCER whose acid eats away at arrogance and
MINCEs the bloated self-delusion of pride:
RACE Run only to stumble paces from the finish.
