Testing a metal one would assay

Got punched on the nose in an affray 

Laid out some fruit in a fine array

Climbing down rope one will belay

Speak clearly so we can convey

Post the parcel now, don’t delay

Missed my flight with much dismay

always loved writing my English essay

Watched the children in their play

Pass the baton on in a relay

Circling your partner in a sashay

Nice B and B for you to stay

Broad large and flat is a sting ray

Could add some more but what to say?

DP: Assay
