| under ripples of conversation and debate | D |
| The woman in the block of ivory soap | E |
| has massive thighs that neigh | C |
| great breasts that blare and strong arms that trumpet | F |

| compounded of acid and sweet like a pineapple | N |
| like a handgrenade set to explode | O |
| like goldenrod ready to bloom | P |
