Yer very own
Monkeys of Asia
Acts like it's true
Nanny in old India
Charity handout
The email symbol
Savory fifth taste
Fit for a king
Adorable person
Money still owed
Fear takes hold
Swipe for cash
Noah's big boat
Home of Salt Lake
Crowd's gasp of awe
Cracked into a pan
Plug for abroad
Won't let it go
Rows a canoe along
Narrows to a point
Old French coin
Quill's tiny jar
That Packers QB
Said a firm no
Tower, or a gun
Sudden realization
Set something down
Belongs to the thing
Allow it to happen
Old-timey against
This instant
Currently exists
Doing nothing at all
Steals the cattle
Walks you to safety
Puts them in place
