11 of 12 given words:
guarded whispering, enduring displayed fear
stoop barge twice slides stroke bookcase
guarded in extending its
comments a whispering
campaign was undertaken
against them
it exhibits great courage
it is enduring and displayed
freely for all to see but does
not invoke the fear intended
twice it slides down a stroke
but no reason to stoop so low
or to barge into action
even a bookcase of famed
literature is no match for the
computer games now
preferred by the youngsters
