Wincing watching wife; weeping, worn weary, wails wavering.

Winston's wagering, whopping windfalls withering, wan wishes wallow! Worries, wringing, wretched: Winston.

Wake, Winston! Wild-eyed, witless wee warrior: wake!

-

We wait, watching willful waifs wavering, waltzing wallets- whisking waistcoats! Waylaying willfulness!

Warning! Warning! Wary wardens! Weakening wards! Wearisome weather!

Wives! Whores! Wanton Wendys! Warm-blooded. Willing.

Wake, Winston! Wheezing whelp whereof wicked women winking-ly whisper: wake!

-

Woeful witless Winston!

Winter winds wistfully withdraws wifely womanly warmth.

Wondrously wooden Winston! Wooing wordlessly, wasting wedlock!

Wormy, worn-out Winston, worshipping worthless wraiths wrapped, wreathed, withered wenches.

-

Wakened Winston; wracked Winston, weakened Winston!

Whatever.

Widely whipped. Wheedling writhing worthless whelp.

Woebegone whoreson; Winston.

    Well, it's wonderful! Well done.

  • Greatly enjoyed this! Something about the fact that only the W in "whore" is silent seems symbolically significant here...
