The Singular of Spanx

DRYLY assess growing gut.
SPANK, singular of Spanx, maybe the one spank will be enough?
KNOCK it, but gotta do something. It’s either the spank or
PUREE of celery and rice cakes for the next half year.

Getaway

PURE white noise masks the motors’ whinE:
DRY-dock the getaway cars for a full repaint and resuppLY,
KNOwing the pursuers still laCK
SPecific security footage–proof–from the bANK.

Gloves

KNAVE that he is, he and his fellow-villain are hand in
GLOVE – both long-practiced since youth to use their
SKILL to dupe and rob the poor and
NEEDY, the needy who can’t even afford gloves.

Knave

KNAVE, armed with spirit knife, plus raging
NEEDY black hole heart, caved in by never knowing “no”.
SKILL: to be green screen, turning fear and malice into live action.
GLOVEs and masks can stave off germs; but here the cure is a faith we may have lost.
