Story 20

Apt to Be Tongue Trapped

Likely or suited means apt
To become suited means adapt
Covered is the same as wrapped
And wrapped is the same as wrapt
Knocked is the same as rapped
But rapped is not the same as rapt
Enchanted, though, is the same as rapt

A hee-haw ass A natural gas A large mass
A petroleum gas A bulky mass
A fish bass A looking glass A nup•tial mass
An optical glass A re•qui•em mass
A metal brass An crystal glass A per•mis•sion pass
A commanding brass And a drinking glass An ad•van•cing pass
An impudent brass A green grass A refusing pass
A dull class A musical Blue grass An attempting pass
A college class A Kentucky Blue Grass A flirtatious pass
And a stupid crass A Bermuda Grass A mountain pass
And a Zoyzia Grass And a back-talking sass
