obstacle bank


obstacle lobster lunge spheroid
absinthe absence gideon pinch
demur creaming draining gleaming

pegboard concord cataclysm chord
mince collapse links blinks
catechism concatenation aboard avatism

snagging raining dreaming braining
anglophilia armageddon since envion
cudgel sludge steroid grunge

oases charisma bootstrapped quart
bases condition asthma pants
decommission rant triple audit

wearisome balustrade chronic crank
loops cripple fast plaudit
shirksome ambuscade panic bank

grotesques chablis


grotesques aviaries index shivery
transverse inference ferrous effluent
appropriable lobotomy liable oratory

conceal reversible recension reversible
cranberry pomeranian saliva conflation
mollycoddle severed hopscotch deliverance

averred lollypop severance oddbob
cosmopolitan savory pomegranate revival
proverbial reveal convertible declension

endogamy inflatable laboratory labial
deferral reversal efferent querulous
raspberry ingests apiaries reflex

doubly pragmatic fink moles
troubling miles emphatic problem
spirals volume introverts antic

gratify polygon lukewarm sable
table clerics amplify antiphon
barracks burly trotsky chablis

sprayt doggy


sprayt shadow clod luggage swallowed late muggy spate
clatters rust budding dread crust gathered cred shafters
flop moisture tongue gustive foisted clot bluster chops
plucking faint hugger beef paint sucking thief fucking
tape reeling should capture kneeling rate rupture snake
clocking smut corner pup cut shocking dupe crocking
dup coinage butt knocking mourner slut flocking soup
rapture would peeling cape wood shafter crepe inflate
reef sugar taint clucking slugger feet buckling grief
trusty clung hoisted top lung dusty cops hustler
dead building must smatter muddy bread hatters dread
buggy sod hallowed wate followed crate dayt doggy

dribble


dribble some dust mung, some bugs
quibble deep hard dry

keep some pants ript, some shit
bore grit hug dung

sand some sight flaps, some more
slips wraps dance fight

try some trance dance, some thigh
plans crust sung cript

nor some naps blight, some hand
slap rancid night rants

quit some trips hants, some bleep
dust gabble creep flange

lug some lungs lust, some rabble
high snore grit sugs

door and drop pool and drip
drool and grout hup and spif

lacque and loot snout and pup
beer and seat snore and lack

moist bleach whole but such

been which oats at suit
loot bat boats rich fin

jacket coattails


jacket colt cackle moulder paddles
plunder mystery maunder restless saunter
sacrament sexed excrement dextrous sediment
sexton hacked dextrose element trestle
vestry numbered nestles launder lessons
jolt sacked soldier spackle boulders


bump phylum plump illium jump
beat lean leaf creakers leave
needle tune tweezer diddles piddling
flume wheedles fiddles geezer zephyr
keen leak sneakers reef beakers
asylum hump hilum lump valium


shrine calm crime oatmeal mimes
relish sporty spells lotion melds
engine beat beguine tangent febrile
peanut imagine pageant beguile plangent
sortie squelch quotient smells oceans
psalm mine pineal dime coattails

shoe large sarx few quarks
chevron holt choke beaver bloke
gallop loose galoshes calyx stylish
beating lungs blunt beet glut
