A Writer’s Life
Anxiously awaiting
Book buyers
Causes cantankerous
Dire distress!
Elegantly etched
Fiction features
Glamorous, golden
Hunky heroes.
Growing Pains

Knobby knees

Tattered toys
Underused utensils
Valuable volumes
Worthless wearables
Xanthic xenoliths
Yesterday’s yearbooks
Zero zootsuits!
