Hello. Not too difficult but I do have a couple of questions
“what’s in a can of beer? Weight I would gain. “
The answer is clearly widget but what’s that got to do with a can of beer?
“ rise high like magpie circling rook “. the answer I think is “ aspire” which is sort of rise high. And the rook is r but what’s a magpie doing there?
It bring Saturday I’ll be summoned for my bath fairly soon. But I feel quite pleased with my effort.

A widget is the device at the bottom of the tin that makes the beer fizz when you pull the tab.

Aspire - 'as (like) + pie (magpie)' (circling) 'r(ook)'

Sorry Steven, I had to leave the screen - just in case, Def 3 here -
