Clings

The aristocrat clings to the glory of his past.

The skirt clings tight to her legs.

Mud clings to my shoes.

He clings to his customs.

Wet clothing clings to the skin.

It clings to life like a cat to curtains.

She's an anomaly in the male-dominated sport of boxing, and in a country that clings tightly to traditional roles for men and women, she's an inspiration to women.

He clings to his word, refusing to let it go.

He clings to the idea that, sooner or later, his efforts will eventually be rewarded.
