Terry the Troubadour, Tip-toeing tenderly towards terrible tension, Touches Theresa the Trobairitz's threateningly terrific thighs: Their two timid tongues - Those terse types that tend to tie - Twist together traumatically, The tricky tips tamely threading through To tickle their tiny tangential teeth: "Tap. Tap." Twice... "Tap. Tap. Tap." Three times... The tender-tongued timpani teases them, Taunting their tenderfooted tryst, Timed tantalisingly to teenage tunes too terrible to tango to.

The Tenderfoot Tryst
Terry the Troubadour, Tip-toeing tenderly towards terrible tension, Touches Theresa the Trobairitz's threateningly terrific thighs: Their two timid tongues - Those terse types that tend to tie - Twist together traumatically, The tricky tips tamely threading through To tickle their tiny tangential teeth: "Tap. Tap." Twice... "Tap. Tap. Tap." Three times... The tender-tongued timpani teases them, Taunting their tenderfooted tryst, Timed tantalisingly to teenage tunes too terrible to tango to.
I wanted to have some fun with alliteration. I enjoy how certain consonant repetition can have a tongue-twisting effect and make something difficult to read, so thought I'd utilise that to convey the awkwardness of a first kiss.
