Paella In The Skillet
Time is your life, don't waste it.
Laugh, cry and "make believe."
Puttyroot in the billet hides a coy Adam and Eve.
Time is your date, don't miss it.
Toil, win and "make your mark."
Last hurrahs in the snake pit hides a madness in pitch dark.
Time is your tool, don't slight it.
Nail, glue and "make amends."
Larvae-froth in the frog spit hides a mortar for built trends.
Time is your test, don't fail it.
Plan, drill and "make the grade."
Litmus results we transmit hides a sham as masquerade.
Time is your friend, don't kill it.
Eat, drink and "make merry."
Paella in the skillet hides a yellow canary.
