  5. “He could lead if he could get the lead out.
  6. “The soldier decided to desert his tasty dessert in the desert.
  7. “Since there is no time like the present, he though it was time to present the present to his girlfriend.
  8. “A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
  9. “When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
  10. “I did not object to the object which he showed me.
  11. “The insurance was invalid for the invalid in his hospital bed.
  12. “There was a row among the oarsmen about who would row.
  13. They were too close to the door to close it.
  14. “The buck does many things when the does (females) are present.
  15. “A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
  16. “To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
  17. “The wind was too strong to wind the sail around the mast.
  18. “Upon seeing the tear in her painting, she shed a tear.
  19. “I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
  20. “How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?”
