A Few More Footles

Lets meet
My treat.

She died
We cried.

Trapeze
Don't sneeze.

Lent fast
Wont last.

Blown leaves
Bare trees.

Roulette
Place bet. 

Strip tease
Weak knees.

Sunday
You pray.

Babe Wakes
Sleep breaks.

Work shy
Bye bye.

Contest
Who's best.

Jobs done
Now fun.

Bewitched
Nose twitched.

Team wins
Big grins.

Mask off
Don't cough.

Your bite-sized rhymes are the perfect afternoon treat, my favorite is 'Blown leaves/bare trees' - it is autumn! (but that last one really hits home!)
