So much angst when he stepped onto the platform

Cold sweat dripped down his back as the numbers cycled

All of his hard work undone by pizza and wings on his birthday

Leaving him waiting for the bad news

Except when he compared the number to that of an NFL lineman, well then he was okay

Divide (an acrostic poem)

Debating merits is a noble cause

If done in good faith, listening to other’s argument

Verifying your stance is what you want to defend

Instead, today we prefer to find our tribe, our island

Denying that the other side might have something to add

Enabling the feedback to build walls that opposing views can not scale  

Plane (an acrostic poem)

Plainly the aircraft needed work

Little things like the engine missing gave it away

All that being said, Bob was very tempted

Not everyone owned their very own F-16

Even if it was only 1/12^th scale
