Frisked

thievery always a big risk? Now off to jail he'll go briskly whisked, where he'll
eat nothing but bread and bisque.

dreadful di•lu•vi•al cat•a•clysm mentioned in the Bible and the Baltimore
Cat•e•chism.
Story 174

The smoke wisp The noise crisp
The brush wisp The air crisp
The lettuce crisp The answer crisp
The breeze crisp The speech lisp
The picture crisp And the leaves lisp
The toast crisp
