Over-Odd: Eh What's Real-Eye-Able

body builders have an ab-sense
girdles are just an abs-tractions
to communicate is to accomplish-'meant'
to know your limits means know-'ledge'
too much wine means too absorb-'bent'
a purebred can be a cat-as-'trophey'
being elected does not come with a flag'grant'
women's gossip is gal-'lore'
a thinker is as an idea-'list'
a divorcee can be over-'wed'
old age homes mean pack-'aging'
dinner out means a pal-at-'table'
a good marriage seems as a pair-'able'
conflicting medical opinions means a pair-a-'docs'
a couple can pair-'rent'
dying for some means to pass-'time'
to enjoy means to be pleasure-'able'
those pictures of your whole life are just a photo-'graph'
pharmaceutical companies do create pill-'grims'
insults can be two per-'verse'
be positive and plea-'sure'
the outhouse sign says po-'tent'
not expensive means price-'less'
an ocean cruise is a relation-'ship'
where does a frustrated writer ram-'page'
drinking properly means ration-'ale'
to be awake means two real-'eyes'
the preacher was right-'full'
poetry soup is made from different poet-'trees'
best university education is on a scholar-'ship'
