Analysis of Awaiting
What are you awaiting? The primate is strange.
What are you awaiting? The climate is change.
What are you awaiting? The gimmick is dumb.
What are you awaiting? The mimic is mum.
What are you awaiting? The prattle is done.
What are you awaiting? The battle is won.
What are you awaiting? The villain is pawn.
What are you awaiting? The felon is gone.
What are you awaiting? The palette is blue.
What are you awaiting? The ballot is true.
What are you awaiting? The habit is bred.
What are you awaiting? The rabbit is dead.
