FOURTEEN LINES, ONE RHYME SOUND

Someone who sings in synagogue ’s a _ _ _ _ _ _.
A strident politician is a _ _ _ _ _ _
(Not given to frivolity called _ _ _ _ _ _).
A biased fellow you might name a _ _ _ _ _ _ _.
A farmer or a bowl are each a _ _ _ _ _ _ _.
A jogger out of breath will be a _ _ _ _ _ _
And one who runs around ’s a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.
Another name for sorcerer is “_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _,”
And likewise a usurper ’s a “_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.”
A gent more courteous than you ’s _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And someone less extinct than you ’s _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.
The Christmas Elf in Brooklyn they call “_ _ _ _ _ _.”
But now I’ll go, since rhymes have gotten _ _ _ _ _ _ _,
And doff my tasseled cap, my _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.
