Too hard Challenge accepted. Noah Webster once went to Oxford To study the tongue he adored. He became quite depressed When folks laughed at his 'vest' So he toddled off back to Hartford. Excellent, sir. |

Excellent, sir. Thank you.  Why do youths wear their trousers so baggy? It makes their posteriors look saggy. With no Braces OR belt |

Please 'Mind the Gap'. Is it bridgeable? If it's not, and you stray. You'll wind up 'D.O.A.' In a Mortuary drawer. Refridgerible. The 'Rangdo' who is sometimes a plant. |

I'd guess this one will confuse the hell out of a lot of folk.
The 'Rangdo' who is sometimes a plant
Pays bills with Drognas, as is his wont.
