T Thumb-sucking children while they are sleeping.
H Hematophagous animals, which means blood-seeking.
I Insects like those in the worm family.
N Newborns that just do it naturally.
G Guys who love guys and who do it with ease.
S Sump pumps and sippers and gals that don’t tease!
T Ticks and devises that vacuum up slime.
H Habits we all have that suck away time.
A Animal feeders they use on the farms.
T Topsiders* sucking out oil from cars.
S Snot-sucking “Nose Clear;” machines for the ill.
U Under the sea, pumps for oil spills.
C ******** pumps; yes, they’ve got those too.
K Karma, the worst. . . When she’s out to get YOU!
*Topsider is a product name
