Pestered paddock anon hurled hymns, pored panther knocked 'p gaunt 'n' gullible thrill, apared asp pruned pulpy foils time tossed, taunted trio 'n clumsy cauldron washed. Sent they then wanky winds t' bear thence ere sassy Sufi wh' loathed rec'mpense. T' transient agora bore they him; a felon furrow 'n an isle's lips. Jolting judgement torn trio ñ him leased; an attendant t' paddock 'n' asp's spree.
