#3 Paul Asente (1st Prize Winner)

The missing words in each verse are anagrams.

1)

A woman _ _ _ _ _ of customs which require that she wait
Until a fellow _ _ _ _ _ his luck and asks for a date.
Our rituals decree that males initiate befriendment,
But the time has come to ratify an equal _ _ _ _ _ amendment.

2)

_ _ _ _ _ _ don't ring this bell too soon,

I'm frequently _ _ _ _ _ _ 'til noon;

Let morn _ _ _ _ _ _ before you knock,

Or better yet - wait 'til one o'clock.

3)
The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ lion limped from bed;
He felt his _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ must fave fled.
But then two unknown peddlers cried,
"A wig can fix your royal head!"
All _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ gone, he joined his bride---
Those _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ saved his pride.
