Thanks, Candy. After two months of thinking it impossible, the solution came to me as I was drifting in pre-sleep, and I grabbed my phone and typed it out before I could forget it.
Little Shop is so last year! I'd forgotten it already.

Good show, Trombo. It must be fun having a subconscious mind like yours. Mine only helps me remember things I've forgotten, like; "The Capital of Montana is Butte" while yours rhymes peduncle with skunk'll. Buy your subconscious a drink on me.

If you go around claiming that Butte is the capital, some Montanan will send you to Helena handbasket!
Much of the time I find that my mind is a fun place to be. Thanks for the drink.

FEMALE – FERRET
I once had a female ferret called Eden
Her teeth were lovely and white and even
But she contracted rabies
and ate all her babies
So the next day, I figured.....she's leavin.

All right, Candy! See? All you need is a warped imagination.
How about some words for the next round?

An old Gynaecologist, Pete Pym,
When asked how he kept himself neat and slim
Said to this questor of his
“A hard day at the orifice
Ends with a workout down at the gym.”

It's a sad tale of David the Margrave
Whose march was re-zoned as a car grave.
They took his rank marker,
He's now a wreck parker.
You'll find sympathy down at the bar, Dave.

A northern Brit fellow called Rhuby
Said to forumers, "I ain't no newbie.
I am certain a spade
Hasn't aught but a blade
And a handle. I'm sure. Wouldn't you be?"

You are a posting device in Rhubarb's guise
He left his posts in a portmanteau
You post them to show that he is you
You machines have no respect when someone dies.

Clearly, RC, you first wrote "dearly" then changed it to "cheaply" because you are cursed with a redemptive heart. But you forgot to give us two dictionary words so I will... hitchhiker - hoe

My little panegyrifc to you jj - which was certainly not changed from my first thoughts (apart from editing typos!) - was not part of the game, so we are still working onn Peter's words:-
PORTMANTEAU - POST
I shall bend my mind to it in a while, if someone else doesn't pip me to the post by using a Humpty-Dumpty style portmanteau word!

Like this:-
Tromboniator is our host
So I’ll make an attempt at a post
And see if I can show
A wordy ‘Portmanteau’
Which ain’t just a feeble falboast*
*Falboast: n. an unsustainable claim to prowess (Eng. portmanteau wd, fr ‘false,’ ‘boast’)

HITCHHIKER – HOE:
Lone Sam was an old-time hitchhiker
Who would ride with a trucker or biker.
In a pickup he'd go
In the back with a hoe,
Wheelbarrow, and sow – and he'd like her!
QUADRATIC – QUAINT:
He taught how to solve the quadratic,
The difficult, the enigmatic.
He's been put in restraint
For his methods too quaint –
He kept undergrads in the attic.
RIFLE – RIM

I like 'em both! If you’re at the world’s outer rim, And your prospects of eating are dim, It don’t do to trifle So take down your rifle: Fill your bag full of birds to the brim. GEARING - GENERAL

Sally rode with Peter to make love at Lovers Leap
Sally was impatient and Peter was a geek
She grabbed Pete's gearing
He forgot he was steering
In general top to bottom they saw all of Lovers Leap
CASINO - CATACOMB
