This is an acrostic...


Two thousand ten years ago,
Heaven reached down to earth.
Everyone there would come to know,
Freedom through one single birth.
Irrespective of color or creed,
Rebirth was offered to all,
Serving witness were Shepherds and Kings,
Transfixed on a child in a stall.
Never before in man's history,
On that first Christmas eve.
Eternal life's solved mystery,
Lay free to those who believe.

Frankly Scarlett





Consummate tale of selfish pride,
Illustrious conflict between two sides.
Vivien brought Scarlett O'Hara to life,
Insane jealousy caused Melanie strife.
Lusted for Ashley Wilkes real bad.

Wanted things she could not have.
Architectural plantation gems,
Ravaged by General Sherman's men.

Emancipation yet proclaimed,
Reconstruction's post-war pain.
Atlanta's heart set afire,

Confederates lost that burning desire.
Laden with coquettish scorn,
Aristocratic southern charm.
Scarlett fought for Tara's sake,
Shunned advances Butler would make.
Iconic Gable, Leigh embrace,
Catatonic Scarlett face.

Frankly Rhett didn't give a damn,
In the end, proved the better man.
Left Scarlett to fend another day,
Made "Fiddle Dee Dee" quote cliche.

They Just Called Her Liz

 
This is an acrostic...

Lass and Roddy's Velvet prize,
Adolescent adored.
Star with striking violet eyes,
Took MGM by storm.
Hollywood Little Woman,
Older men's delight.
Luscious and voluptuous,
Lady of a Knight.
Yesteryear Fischer goddess,
Warner's chosen one.
Oscar's 2-time winning actress,
Owned own place in the sun.
Diva before Divas were known,
Insatiable at best.
Cleopatra celluloid clone
Original Wolf-ess.
Noted as The Best.

No Reason Anymore (NRA)...An Acrostic




Guns are man's worst enemy. This is a double acrostic...


Go ahead sucker, use that thinG.
Eradicate those that mess with yoU.
Talk that trash, know what I meaN?
Trigger happy gangs and crewS.
Hear you belong to the NRA.
Earns you the right to carry a guN.
Give some to your friends in the hooD,
Use them to get you in their cluB.
No one then will mess with yoU.
So much hate, pent up ill wilL,
Other's think you're kinda cooL.
For God's sake people, it's not too latE,
Free our nation, please don't waiT.
Take away the fun with gunS,
Heed this social mental breaK,
Eliminate the nucleI,
Shed this country’s source of ilL,
The array of guns that forever kilL.
Rid our churches, homes and schoolS,
Everywhere we try to gO.
Emancipate the world 'round yoU

Take charge of this damned cesspooL
Save us Lord from gun loving foolS



God Bless The NRA
