Without B

The English language can be frustrating at times. It can also be beautiful and amazing. I have always found it interesting how removing one letter from certain words can completely change their meaning.



Without B
 
A game for four players is range of mountains and hills.
A vessel for traveling on water is a staple in most meals.

Something that is spacious or has a wide range is just a travel way.
And an appliance used for mixing becomes someone you must repay.

A small flowing stream is a crow like bird or a popular chess piece,
And it’s always a sad thing when invoking great care becomes a decrease.

A loose feminine garment worn from neck to waist
Are parasitic insects always killed in haste.

The division of a stem would produce a specialized farm,
And bristles set in a handle is the result of missing the alarm.

A male swine aids vessels when propelling through the seas

And a mechanism designed for slowing is used to clean up leaves.
Something that helps to resist weight becomes a contest of speed

And an online journal is the product of a fallen tree.
To shine intermittently would be a bond or connecting structure.

Heating water to produce vapors becomes a necessity to our culture.

A person who shows tremendous courage deserves to be given enthusiastic praise,
And the harsh cry of a donkey carries the sunlight many times with a blaze.

A list of things that must be paid will make us sick or have displeasure
And the act of springing back becomes an increment of measure.
