A Bargain!
This is another of my rhyming word ladder teasers. You may have to work forward and backward to get all eight words.
A bargain is what I have to offer
as the first for you to create.
Last two swap, then add one:
something to make you late.
Lose the E and scramble:
one a tramp would never marry.
Change last to be EN:
under burden, hard to carry.
Turn N to R and add another:
store food and goods in here.
Change the D to be a G.
You've gotten heavy, dear.
Change first and last to B and S:
strong ships without a keel.
Drop ES but add three more:
now that is quite a deal!
