How Many Points

Focci is as plural does:
duel to the plinth
Earwigs fight canalful fuzz
unless you have a winch

Canary coal and poet dust
lungs that cannot lie
Ask Kay Ryan for a crust
receive a faster eye

But never rhyme the ending line
that's a sorry skate
By the byway lost the spine
now that check is mate

Never A when B will do
that's the recipe
Given words with filler glue
senses are not free
