Ladies laugh sternly at bisque in autumn.
Fine friends take tea on another platform.
Twins cake dust on themselves.
Ladies — still on?
Make a mark, do a blitz, time your trip.
Have another Nutter Butter, bitter as the times may be.
Throat up!
Make it go.
Turn a heavy stone, bring bright glass.
Climb, turn, stand.
Ape goodness.
High, high, high in the sky, struggle recedes.
