Inside a samosa
Overly proud, showy
Fancy grabbing one?
Ring of huts
The womb itself

It … meant to be
Still a legal minor
Curved fencing blade
All by yourself

Hear ye, hear ye!
Occasional side gigs
Trim shop or soirée

Draws art from words
A peppy greeting
Zero, zip, zilch
Plead on bended knee
Drove way too fast
Charge an atom up
