Final Will and Testament

I, William Morris Daddy, being of sound mind and huge throbbing \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, declare this to be

                                                                                                              (body part)

my final will and testament. If you’re gathered here today, that means that you knew and

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ me, and want a piece of the daddy fortune. But, who deserves it?

  (past tense emotion)

My family: my twins, my Barflompt, my beloved Butler Uncle (Buncle), my beautiful second

wife, my trusted adopted brother, and of course…Carole. As my old friend \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

            (celebrity)

once said, “\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.” And now for what you all are here for, the divvying of

          (the last text you sent)

my fortune:

To my second wife, Quality. Who explored me \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ like no other could; the most

            (adverb)

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ person I’ve ever known, I leave to you the lakehouse in \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.

   (adjective)                                 (location)

To my twins, Jack Gems and Jill Uncut. I leave to you my box set of Adam Sandler classics. I

know you feel \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ towards each other, but I hope that these \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

            (emotion towards something)               (adjective)

films will remind you of me.

To my \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Buncle. You were always preparing for the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, so I leave to

  (adjective)                 (way world ends)

you \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ to help you prep.

          (sentimental tool)

To my brother, \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. I leave you my favorite \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ spoons. I know you always

      (sound effect)                               (material)

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ them. And don’t worry, \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, I took your secret to

     (emotion ending in ed)                     (same sound effect)

the grave.

To my rock, my roll, my shining \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, Barflompt. You’ve given me more than I can ever

          (noun)

repay, but I will attempt to make up this deficit. Barflompt, I leave you a lifelong supply of free

baked \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ from \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.

                  (type of pasta)               (chain restaurant)

And who could forget Carole? You always said, “\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_!”

                    (famous catchphrase)

And now, the real treasure. My prized possession. The golden \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. I’ve taken

(inanimate object)

notes over the years. I’ve paid close attention to every slight, gesture, and insult. Each one of you

has hurt me. With that being said, I leave the decision to you. Let there be \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. You have

  (liquid)

45 MINUTES to AN HOUR to decide who gets the golden \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. Or else it

        (same inanimate object)

goes to CHARITY.

Your time starts now.

Where there’s a will,

There's a way!
