        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
