useless as a huff in dancer

useless as a raft in wire
unless in a fun as traps

Luggage

noose luggage sapped the chomping
whistling the dewow baggage ffohc
cue luggage aged the toweling
rubbing the brain baggage flah
meat luggage formed the shadow
xerox the razor baggage knirb
brink luggage dazed the kotex
hollow the foamed baggage team
half luggage rained the tubing
bowling the raged baggage cute
choff luggage wowed the wristing
stomping the wrapped baggage noise

Ffud

cuffing it was fates the daft
crack the laundry was it beaning
bombing it was summer the polls
clothe the nasal was it undulating
waging it was plastic the sport
spot the lastic was it aging
thundering it was naval the sloth
pills the sumptive was it combing
beaming it was sunday the crock
waft the nates was it duffing
limping it was chasing the cops

Honks

honks half the hulk heaving horns
super coda clump the pore bag
only oils the onion oven oinker
coinage flick at the long park
nab nates the nutty nest nether
neither vest putty the satan crab
krap kong the ka kwik korner
blinker even orion the boils oily
sag sore the sump soda supper
corns weaving bulk the calf monks

sunk a must a music roof
sleep a bunk a sunny glade
raft a blood a motor sore
sworn a cube a trigger door

Chopping

chopping the hand
playing the horn
beaming the form
budding the moat
ditching the clots
playing the funk

switching the slots
building the throat
dreaming the storm
naying the corn
shopping the gland

Had

had to pee and combed
glad to bile and clobber
had to slick and bombed
glad to slink and read
had to wake and drunk
glad to glut and foam
had to nine and boot
glad to crust and dimple
had to crest and simpled
glad to spine and coot
had to nut and dome
glad to cake and drum
had to wink and threaded
glad to pick and tomb
had to rile and slobbered
glad to knee and loam

Drag

Inked the phone and dragged
slept the dirt and shawl
mined the rat and drugged
leapt the ballad and trance
ounced the lock and dropped
fried the shroud and heap
bled the stone and dipped
horned the drop and clown
scorned the flop and downed
fed the bone and drip
spied the should and deeped
pounced the flock and slop
crept the salad and danced
wined the bat and rug
swept the shirt and drawled
winked the clone and bag

Your

your acid deflux steadied on the floor
our pension rumor founded in the socket
your mindful stunning boiling in the teething
our fortress spindrift bolted on the dashboard
your ribboned clicker bested on the bedframe
our moldy cornbread skybox in the slapstick
your melty cornblow skyward in the slapdash
our bourbon flicker vested on the boardroom
your fundus sipwad molted on the carwash
our minefield stunted roiling in the earring
your tension tumor fondled in the pocket
our aphid mailbox stymied on the spoor
