Why thank you

May I work some magic with an R?

Bogeymen, at breakfast, boughing and slapping chests

[Flay]

Sleeping on it, I've an 'orrible feeling we've been here before. C'est la vie! What goes round comes round...

[mercia]

I vaguely remember the word bogeyman appearing in a question but can't remember the context - google says Schoenberg once called himself that.
my computer doesn't seem to like the word boughing - does it appear in a poem? otherwise an obscure meaning of hitting metal with a hammer ?

personally I need a clue but others are probably coping without. is "magic" a clue ?
is R a composer ?

do what I do and chicken out of setting a question - known locally as the mercia side-step [or something]

if you know the answer to the flayversome R please tell [or give me a clue]

R is not a composer. Bough could well be a pun.

It was men who the bogey.....

EA I go weeks without getting anything and my puzzles are generally snaffled up in minutes so have no fear - if you fancy a go, you'd be most welcome

Is this a reference to Colonel Bogey?

[Flay]

Is this a reference to Colonel Bogey?

Yes, it was mixed in with my R.

The "magic" bit above was an indirect alliterative reference to the person behind the "breakfast" clue

One of the teasing delights of AA is that you can never be sure if Typos, Duplicate Posts etc aren't extra clues!
