Write a poem according to the following specifications:
10 lines long
the following 8 words must appear in the poem (noun, verb, whatever, however--just put them there):
lifetime
wolf
cloudbank
spare
whisper
damage
wrap
risk
Only one of the above 8 words can appear in a given line, and then only once.
That means: at least EIGHT of the lines will have exactly ONE of the words (either of the other two may have up to 1 each).
and...GO!

The student said, "Master, why is that man covered in toilet paper walking like a robot?"
Master replied, "He is a toilet-paper robot."
Upon hearing this, the student was enlightened.
