Black dog in the black night has me reeling

Black death to the black sheep without feeling

Black tar on the black sea with no sign of remorse

Black bear on a black day when there's no recourse

Black jack leads to blackmail and a bad taste of karma

Blackbird on the blacklist by the local farmer

"Blackface" leads to your blackout

Thanks for reading!
