“Don’t ask her her age.  That would be so rude!”

“As if.  This is a new age, old man.  Age is just a number now.”

“That’s a bunch of bull, and you know it.  Ask it and be relegated to the dustbin of relationship history.”

“Everything you say tells the universe how old you are.  What was it like to ride a triceratops?”

“Don’t worry.  You’ll get to see for yourself when she slaps you so hard she sends you back in time.”

Tint (an acrostic poem)

The color never seemed to matter to Jeff

If you wanted to make it fluorescent orange and lime green, he was cool with it

Nothing seemed to phase the man

That’s when I figured out the dude was extremely color blind

Hike (an acrostic poem)

He slowly walked up the mountain

It was going to change his life

Knowing he could finally get that question answered

Except there was a wise guy and not wise man at the top

Elvis (an acrostic poem)

Every thrust of his hips was planned to showcase his nature

Leaving girls and women screaming at the top of their lungs

Vexing the men that had accompanied them, secretly jealous of his powers

It was a coming of age for an entire generation

Summarized in a single man, an icon, a legend

Length (an acrostic conversation)

“Look, it’s true what they say about… you know.”

“Except I don’t know. Please educate little ol’ me.”

“Not on your life! If you don’t know, well then all the better.”

“Good grief! Be a man and tell me.”

“That would be funny if it wasn’t so ironic.”

“How come? Telling me would be such a… small thing.”

Peel (an acrostic poem)

Image: gardeningknowhow.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/orange-peel.jpg

Prying back her man’s rough outer layer

Exposed the fact that he was surprisingly human

Except she didn’t want to believe that

Lifting his freshly stilled heart out of the way, she continued to look for essence of monster

Star (an acrostic poem)

Supernova hatred exploded from Jim.

The waves of revulsion swept over Andy, knocking him back a step.

Andy worried about what was left of the man who used to be his best friend.

Realizing that now a black hole was where Jim’s heart used to be.

Collar (an acrostic poem)

Can’t stand having something around my neck

Only I don’t get much choice in this gig

Living for the church was not going to be my style

Living dead come into the equation

And I had to sign up, so now I’m a holy man

Relax baby, I only baptize with a shotgun and cross with my saber

Costume (an acrostic poem)

Clothing makes the man they say

Or in his case, they allowed him to blend in

So that the prey around him didn’t recognize predator in their midst

Though they would be nervous as if they could see through his disguise

Undercover he enjoyed taking his time

Meticulously picking his next victim

Enjoying the chaos he left in his wake

Pour (an acrostic conversation)

 

Pass that pitcher, my man

Oh no, my friend.  This one is mine.

Utterly impossible.  You are the next round.

Really?  (Laps up some of the beer.)  Want some now?
