A for Active and Lively in the Quest to be Healthy
11 given words:
tongue throat, claw cry shred crawling
swallow, spirit erase sing stay 3WW given words:
flimsy erupt dazzle
No flimsy excuses but to excel
They do not deserve a tongue-lashing
They are to dazzle on the rostrum
Must not catch them by the throat
Nor to claw at them
They may cry but not shredded into pieces
They may come crawling in a way
but just so they can swallow their pride
It has to be in the spirit of dignified oneness
to erase all fears in competition
to sing victory songs and to stay high
on the pedestal of honor
to erupt out of the doldrums
they should remain a champion
