Hink Pinks

First, here's an interesting article from NPR about what happens when you play actively! Check it out here. I haven't found any audio of an interview but will add it if I find it. 

I would like to start adding Hink Pinks to our brain teasers at the end of the day, so here's some practice! 

A Hink Pink (sometimes called a “rhyming pair”) is a pair of rhyming words that matches a silly definition. 

Example: A black bird that does not fly fast - slow crow

Can you solve these?

 paperback thief

lengthy tune

closet to keep a sweeping tool

not-quite-red beverage

small buzzing insect that is not wet

large group of people that is noisy

stinging insect that doesn't cost money

unhappy father

rabbit that tells jokes

fast elevator

Try to come up with some of your own!
