She’s wearing a pair of pajamas…
Long ago they were her mama’s,
Who once was a groupie
’til she got old and droopy,
But her NIGHTWEAR ROCK still shows some promise.

Touche! I am cower-ing thinking of all those female sex organs in mossy expanses. I never knew plants produce eggs. Lol

And TWACKING–GORGE as did ‘JL’ earlier.
I also got EARTHWORK–KICKING, which may be unique.
