Ten Words Ten Lines

Anomaly don't enter contests like this the style is a bit avant-garde, I'm a bit of an oldie, preferring baroque and finding this bona fide hard. The cacophony of words dancing round in my head, carte blanche to use this ten word list, this is my third attempt, seems a bit deja-vu but my dilettante side can't resist. Not sure if I can do this write with elan but hey-ho, ennui go. For contest 'Ten words, ten lines2', sponsor Silent One January 23rd 2018

I LOVE the humor you inserted into this one, making it one of my favorites I have seen of these entries. Mine is done. i just did not post it yet. VERY good one because it holds interest and even not knowing the words' meanings, i think you used them in a way easy to guess.
