Hints
The wrinkle in your lie suggests a mire
The twinkle in your eye suggests a fire
The yo-yo in your chart creates a wrong
The tempo in your heart creates a song
The clamor in your prose rivets a stance
The glamour in your pose rivets a glance
The flavor in your talk displays a grinch
The waiver in your balk displays a cinch
The bustle in your fog makes all surreal
The hustle in your jog makes all ideal
The chancre in your state implies disgust
The anchor in your fate implies a trust
The rigor in your wealth widens a breach
The vigor in your health widens a reach
