asks us to use all the words in the Wordle

MASKS

Murderers should look like murderers, that is what we feel.

Snapshots of the guilty should certainly reveal

A bestiality of mind, lips that are mean and thin,

And a hollow, sallow appearance of the eyes and of the skin.

The way they stand, a gesture, captured for all time,

Should represent their  act of perfidy and every heinous crime.

Their arms should be hanging by their sides like those of an ape-like  creature;

Their utter degradation should strike us in every other feature.

The thought of their touch should appal us, for they have sent to their deaths

Other human beings. They've snuffed-out their living breaths.

Ted Bundy is a deceiver; he looks so suave and smart;

Charlie Peace is an 'honest' man.....his looks reveal his heart!

ONE ON THE NOSE

Since I am not Muhammad Ali

I sting like a butterfly and float like a bee!

Uncoordinated! That's my story;

Definitely never, never bound for glory.

I fly like an elephant and swim like a pig!

I can't even do an Irish Jig.

I dance like a cuttlefish and leap like a worm.

I'm old and battered and quite infirm.

I throw like a snake and jump like a mole

And golf balls never end up in the hole.

But I'm very, very, very good at just being me.

That's one on the nose for Muhammad Ali!
