Story 149 Not Slick
Story 150
Dick is a crazy mick
And Rick is a country hick
Dick calls a rooster a chick
And Rick has a river a crick
Dick has a pet tick
And Rick has a pet brick
Neither of them is mentally quick
But neither of them cares a lick.

“Diction” Practice
Drugs addict
Diseases afflict
Juries convict
Pictures depict
Weapons inflict
Fortune tellers predict
Pythons constrict
Landlords evict

Bombs interdict
Enemies conflict
Lies contradict
And parents restrict
