With a hop, a skip and a jump, Kay Purse tripped lightly across the parking lot. With flowering courage, she decided to leave the gang she'd been planted in the previous March. Budding bravado left a bloom of excitement on her cheeks; a saucy grin flashed across her features as she waved tartare to the past.
Her little caper on the beach earlier had ensured her a pizza the action that was happening further up the coast. The pickle firmly behind her, she prepared to assault the cliff-face before her. Pulling her caponata jaunty angle, she crested the cliff, flinging herself away from the salty brine behind.
Such cheesy capers Kay Purse will have alongside her new accomplices, Anne Chovey and Olive Monterey-Jack. Don't miss the next stone-baked episode, starring Flinders Rose as Kay Purse!

Not sure if I understood what I just read, but I love pizza.

Word-games, @Tampa_girl7, some different meanings of the word caper and some uses of the common caper, Capparis spinosa. Not quite as elegant as I'd've liked though.

Well, this isn't anything I can go to bed after... Are you trying to cause nightmares? She had a pizza action from her caper and she flung herself off the cliff. Sure let's make this a bedtime story. HAHA. I liked this. It was a play on words and made you think.

@Ceerios Speaking of holes, here's a piece I wrote decades ago when asked the question "Is it possible to dig a hole to China?", you might appreciate its warped logic :

Oh, 15days, 7 "discussions" and nigh on 1.46 - not to be sniffed at. I think I have had several side-discussions to-and-fro off some comments on other's discussions too... The rest of my stats are visible to anyone who visits my "Me" page, I think.

@pgntwo I've just thought of the feature Sweeble our High and Mighty one is developing. I wonder what has become of it. -- There are two people I sympathise with. One is Tyler, the staff member who really seems to care. The other is the member 'nameless' who is really good at her job as moderator. Maybe she'll be the last on the site to switch off the light and close the door.

Capers also in caponata, also "...her 'cap on at a' jaunty...". Kay Purse is also capers. One capers when hopping, skipping or jumping. Capers are a main ingredient in tartare sauce, a common accompaniment to fish in the UK. It was just a piece of fun, inelegant perhaps, but interesting to write.

I was never a fan of anchovies on pizza, but olives and cheese can't be beat.
