One Two Ten
Outstrip, nip and tuck it
Detick, kick the bucket
Cockeye, fly and spider
Harangue, hang the rider
Recline, fine and dandy
Compete, eat the candy
Secure, lure and glamor
Revere, hear the clamor
Renege, egg and gravy
Purloin, join the navy
Detent, taunt and rebut
Fordone, run the gamut
Delay, stay and tarry
Forsake, make the ferry
Amiss, kiss and love it
Default, halt the covet
Bestow, glow and glitter
Enhance, dance the jitter
Combat, fat and blubber
Return, burn the rubber
