All of you have questions

So many of you will never utter them though

Knowing you would not embrace the answers

Share (an acrostic conversation)

“So I shouldn’t contribute by telling them about my latest bowel movement?”

“How should I parcel out this… No!”

“And why not.  They showed interest by asking.  I was being honest.”

“Really people don’t care about your experience when they ask that.  They are just being polite”

“Evidently so, but I refuse to capitulate to your norms.  I was brought up to…”

Crisps (an acrostic poem)

Crunchy chips deliver their payload of salt and carbs

Rallying my taste buds into a feeding frenzy

It becomes an addictive craving that must be met

Soon the bag is consumed, and I look around

People at the grocery store are looking at me weirdly

So what you’re saying is should have waited till I got home?

Optics (an acrostic poem)

Observing the situation

Puts it in a whole new light

Though many will still try to interfere with the interpretation

It will take total internal reflection on your part to find the solution

Complete focus on the end goal will make it all possible

So everything will be resolved

Hen (an acrostic poem)

Her plumage was that of royalty, and she flaunted it.

Every other bird in the barnyard was jealous of her perfection.

Not that the fox cared, but he was impressed with her taste.

News (an acrostic poem)

Noting all the brand new stories from today that were arrayed in front of him, he liked the buffet of content

Except there just wasn’t anything spicy enough to be worth the headline.

What he needed was sizzle, but all he had in front of him was steak.

So he carved everything up to bite sized pieces so at least they had to come back for more.

Kiwi (an acrostic poem)

Keeping with the weird down under thing

In comes a fruit with hair that tastes kind of like a strawberry with a tropical twist

With a skin that could use a bit of a shave, while that isn’t too freaky

It was the fact you can eat the hairy part that made me shudder

Tip (an acrostic poem)

That thing you are doing, did you know you can do it better?

It calls for a bit of advice, and I am just the font of wisdom you need.

Perhaps I tell you and you give me a donation in appreciation?

Document (an acrostic poem)

Didn’t read the fine print of the contract

Of course that’s how a lot of these stories start

Catch 22’s galore in the legalese that no one can decipher

Unless you are a lawyer, and even then you have to be speak a dialect of Parseltongue

Making the rest of the tale about maneuvering out of the inevitable

Enabling our hero to have the last laugh

Now only if that worked in real life

Then I would be so done with these student loans

Soup (an acrostic poem)

Slurping the yummy broth made her taste buds dance

Oregano and tomato played the bass notes

Under the delightful melody of lemon zest high notes

Pasta applying the percussion on her tongue
