blood and claws.
clones for us
what’s the fuss?
grands and new and us.

I was a nun-for-fun
A bun in the oven
A hun in the honey
A run in the stocking
A sun in the darkness
A ton of good cheer.
I won a nun-prize:
PRIVACY!
No puns
No guns
No done deals
But daily becoming
A nun for real.

Here is my compliment tongue twister using the American tool name: wrench:
A
wench
on a bench
with a wrench
left a stench.
Sniff it we did
‘n hid
the bench
with the stench
of the wrench
from the wench.
