Wallace Dean LaBenne

The first word that comes to mind when I think of sun
is the aquatic I connect with fun.
The first word that comes to mind when I think of hex
is the annoyance I connect with vex.
The first word that comes to mind when I think of toy
is the diversion I connect with joy.
The first word that comes to mind when I think of God
is the natural I connect with sod.
The first word that comes to mind when I think of sly
is the deception I connect with lie.
The first word that comes to mind when I think of par
is the achievement I connect with bar.
The first word that comes to mind when I think of hit
is the comical I connect with wit.
The first word that comes to mind when I think of sad
is the negative I connect with bad.
The first word that comes to mind when I think of yea
is the parallel I connect with nay.
