The secret of not parroting prose is to understand what the action items really mean in terms of saving the aircraft. Items in the list specifically relating to live/dead sides must be memorised and rehearsed especially for practice failures when your instructor has reduced the dead-side throttle to idle and coarsened dead-side pitch to a lower rpm (don't touch these), e.g.

LIVE Pitch Up
LIVE Power Up
DEAD foot, DEAD engine
Stand on ball LIVE SIDE
Lift the DEAD side
Close DEAD throttle slowly to confirm
DEAD Pitch to feather
Close DEAD SIDE cowl flaps
DEAD SIDE switches off
Monitor LIVE engine

And don't forget to TRIM for blue line speed to reduce workload.
