Controversial Winds (acrostic)

by Mr. Darcy   Apr 5, 2018


.

Cigarette (gravity defying) ash grrrrrew,

only to, in a puff, dis..in..te..grate. . .

"Now, how should one celebrate?"

the bard carefully considered,

raking his beardy chin.

Over the past month he had honed

verses until they gleamed, like rare

eggs from a private Faberge vault.

'Really, the red WIN, was in the bag,'

Shakespeare thought, conceitedly.

"I write plays, sonnets, shopping lists -

and I know, darn well, I'll win this

little weekly poetry contest.

.

Well, a week trundled by and

Interest in the results were global:

. . ."No," The old bard wailed. "how -

did a nonsensical 'acrostic' trump my

Sonnet?"

.

      If I should win, I will dance naked in my boudoir, waving my arms in the air, shouting "Shakespeare, you can kiss my big bare bottom!"
