"Where is that dumb dog" Tom barked.
"Oh, it is so cold outside today", Linda said, icily.
A fun game...know any?

"I'm floating, I'm floating!" Tom cried buoyantly.

"I like my cardiologist, "Tom said, heartily.
Why is the train so late, Tom railed.

Want heads or tails? Tom asked, flippantly.
You eat too much candy, Tom snickered
I think soft wood is better for you, Tom opined

We will drive across the desert, Tom said, drily.
We don't have any chardonnay, Tom whined.

I thought of these...what's yours??

Tom Swifty's, that's a new one for me.
I quit, I said resignedly.

"These are the Great Plains," said Tom flatly.

"Watch out for snakes," Tom hissed.

That lion wants to get me! Tom roared
Your the sunshine in my day, Tom said, brightly.
I own this here gold mine, Tom claimed
Please smooth out my wrinkled shirts, said Tom, ironically.
We need to cross this brook, Tom babbled.
Goin' to the races today, Tom said, hoarsely.

"I didn't know this ship was going to capture and kill large ocean-going mammals!" Tom wailed.

 

[Marv Malone]

You need 4 new Firestones, Tom said, tiredly
Wanna go to a nude beach? Tom barely said.
Glad you shredded the cheddar, Tom said, gratefully.

I have 30 of these one liners, I say, happily.

“I love hot dogs,” Tom said frankly.
“I just dropped my toothpaste,” said Tom, crestfallen.
