First Chosen
The comely are first chosen.
The homely wait their turn.
The status is quick-frozen. Avoid the freezer burn.
The vivacious first quicken.
The languid have no song.
The status is hard-bitten. Avoid the tag along.
The joyful are first rated.
The gloomy overlooked.
The status is un-gated. Avoid the being hooked.
The clever minds first "get it."
The stu*** miss the boat.
The status is tightly-knit. Avoid the sugarcoat.
The lucky are first rescued.
The hapless left to fate.
The status is misconstrued. Avoid the dicey state.
The early birds first waken.
The tardy miss the worm.
The status is well-taken. Avoid the hunger term.
