Secret passages made of stone work in the movies.
Never run out of gas or bullets. Outrun a dog, jump off a house. It’s like Spanish fly,Tropes used in old mysteries, Hebenon in ears. “Protect your taste buds,Carefully pick your poison,Sounds like a winner. “
-
Of course it’s French.
Ostentatious opulence, the big pickup of early Europe. Not a coffee cup,Nor any ornate beer Stein,Sip from the hanap. “Tasty beverages,Gobbled up from the goblet,In oodles and gobs. “ “Ah, the original rich people Stanley Cup”

This part of the desert you can actually stub your toe.
No dunes on me. High, rocky, baron,Strong winds have removed the sand,Rock floor hammada. “So many miles,Of wind swept desolation,Ruggedly handsome. “ So, what’s the matter? No, what’s hammada with you?I ain’t got no sand.

Reminds me of thistle and haggis.
It’s not drinking pork on the lochs. A punch in the nose, Assault depends where you stand,Could be hamesucken. “Hamesucken defense,Better than surprise attack,Home field advantage”

I’ll know it when I see it.
Not your parents quiddity. What makes a teacup,Clearly not a mug for Joe,It’s haecceity. “What makes us different,We are the same you and I,Unique and alike. “

I’m going to move somewhere else.
A good storm, like MacGyver, uses its resources wisely. Plains have tornados,Oceans give you hurricanes,Got sand, make haboobs. “Got barn make hay boobs,Call out hey boobs to your friends,Boob’s a funny word. “

I feel this is like my work on my van.
So you got a deal on 5 gallons of paint. We must renovate,Paneling and purple paint,And grimthorpe this house. “Donald decided,Grimthorpe the Oval Office,Trash is as trash does. “

Your rosacea is truly in full bloom this evening.
Your rose is part of a memorial bouquet. Take a simple scent,We elevate the discourse,Now graveolent. Swap today’s word for Rose, then use as an ice breaker or introduction. “A graveolent,Smells just as sweet regardless,Of what you call it. “ It’s just like Shakespeare,Rose by any other name.Like stink – O – flower.

It’s like a forced hobby that pays you by giving you vegetables.
It’s better than working at a cigar factory. Get an income boost, Plant tomatoes and pumpkins, Put that glebe to work. “This yard for hire,Yielding a healthy harvest,On a rented plot. “
-
It’s gravity man. GRAVITY.
Not a teeter-totter, something much smaller. Positive is down,Of course negative is up,By Geotaxis. “Turn yourself around,Reverse orientation,Now you’re upside-down. “
