Quizzing

The Bermuda Triangle. Are we talking shorts Or waxing? Some are masters of deceit. Should they have been born Chameleons? Many shoes, but all one size. Leaving us with what, Hobson’s choice? To make pizza or pancakes. Tough decision, or A toss-up? The road is winding and steep. Will you walk with me All the way? Hurry upstairs to put on tights. Dash for the ladder? Run along? She is loud but alluring. Would you say she is A siren? Dictatorial republic: Be corrupt or go Bananas? He is itching to begin. Should he wait? Should he Start from scratch? ---------------------------------------------- * This is a set of quinzaines that requires much reading between the lines. ---------------------------------------------- Author: Paul Callus Contest: One Word Title Sponsor: Skat A Placing: 4th
