Misfortunes always in poetry? Too right! (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
ill say
'poetry? too right' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'misfortunes always' is the wordplay.
'misfortunes' becomes 'ills' (ill is a kind of misfortune).
'always' becomes 'ay' (archaic term for 'always').
'ills'+'ay'='ILL SAY'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ill say that I've seen before include "Quite so!" , "Absolutely!" , "You bet" , "expression of agreement" , "indeed!" .)
