@msh210 can't see why not
it can still be read as part of the wp even if it's not strictly necessary
like "x followed by y" which i believe is completely fine
 
yeah
depends on how it's placed, but I don't think no-op words are necessarily a problem

Q: My friend's scrapbook

MrSethwardI was visiting with my friend Susie the other day when we got talking about our travels. As we discussed favorite cities we had been to, she suddenly got up and went to grab a dusty scrapbook from the attic. She turned to a page and said it was some souvenirs for a world tour of cities she'd done...

"bosom, the top two" is clearly BO, right is OK, now the only thing is to find out why the book is a she and why we're told to powder it
 
@jafe: Great idea, but all of my books are gender-neutral and do not have chafing problems.

@JeremyDover I doubt it, but I propose that maybe the answer is EROS, &lit. The definition half is something Eros might say in his role as the god of sexual desire (which is not normally enough for a definition, but I don't see anything else). And the wordplay half uses "powder" to mean "remove a layer from" (which again is weak), "the top two" to mean "take the next two letters of each word", and "right" to mean "and put them in order".

@msh210 Wow! That definitely is not what I was thinking, but I admire the construction. I'll throw another hint out there for fun.
CCCC Hint(ish): The wordplay is a non-standard construction, but I don't think there will be objections.
