BRAVO! You did a splendid job on this prompt Len! A promise of an acrostic too? I am impressed!

Len Maxwell Nov 4, 2009, 6:07pm EST

The acrostic is embedded in an article that I've published many times over the years. It gives a fun way to celebrate Christmas.

Wow Len! You just zoomed that right off! Really excellent! Now Acrostic I'm going to wait for your lead!

Len Maxwell Nov 5, 2009, 4:01pm EST

Well, you told me to. I had to try it.

Barbara H. Nov 5, 2009, 4:09pm EST

And a better than good try! Well, when I think of it, you are a boy so it ws quite easy to write about a boy! Ha!Ha! No, really great job as usual. I'm always anxious to see what you come up with.

Barbara H. Nov 5, 2009, 4:21pm EST

And as always a better than good try! My!Well you are a boy so writing about a boy was easy!

ok, I didn't think I could do it.... even the type of writing "abecedarian" scared me. Good for you and I liked the way it flowed.

Len Maxwell Nov 5, 2009, 4:03pm EST

Thank you, but flow was the least of my worries. I was just trying to find words that fit together.

and that was Wonderful!

I appreciate your saying that, but I already read yours and I have a long way to go to catch up with you.

Nancy * ♥ Self-Proclaimed Site Tigger ♥ Nov 5, 2009, 4:51pm EST

Honestly, I think yours is great.. it makes perfect sense.

Wow, great job! I didn't even know what a abecedarian was! I seem to be learning here without even trying!

Len Maxwell Nov 5, 2009, 4:06pm EST

Nice of you to say so, but I notice you did TWO of the things.

I have no idea what you're trying to do with this but everyone seems to like it so I'll say it's good.

Len Maxwell Nov 5, 2009, 4:08pm EST

Don't try to figure it out because I certainly haven't. And I haven't figured out why I even tried it.

Ruthi C. Nov 5, 2009, 10:51pm EST

You were perhaps co-erced :-)

Ruthi C. Nov 5, 2009, 10:51pm EST

Yes Al, Len did well with his ABC's!

Thanks.

I'll admit I'm really unobservant, but did you just recently add the "Toker" to your name? I don't remember noticing that before.

Ed Da Head Toker Nov 9, 2009, 8:40pm EST

yep, about a week ago.

Quaaludes restrict some tendencies

Ain't that the truth...LOL

Len Maxwell Nov 9, 2009, 9:52am EST

Whew, thank you for that. I'm not into drugs and honestly had no idea what quaaludes do to a person.

Wow I'm impressed. I read another one the other day and that was the first time I've ever seen the ABC thing. Very cool!

Len Maxwell Nov 9, 2009, 9:52am EST

Okay, you've read them, now are you going to write one?

Digital Diva S. Nov 9, 2009, 9:59am EST

That would make my brain hurt!

Alot better than I could have done.

Len Maxwell Nov 9, 2009, 11:02am EST

That's probably wrong. You'd be surprised at how you get into trying to fit words together. Kinda like a verbal jigsaw puzzle.

Wow! I wouldn't dare try, but this is great.

Len Maxwell Nov 12, 2009, 9:17am EST

Oh, go ahead and try it. I never thought I would, but kinda got forced into it.

Wonderful I did try and did not do half as good as you.

Len Maxwell Nov 24, 2009, 6:36pm EST

Horse puckey. I read yours. You took an approach nobody else even considered and did wonderfully with it.

M. G. Nov 24, 2009, 6:58pm EST

Thank you kind sir, I just read what the acrostic poem is and will try that on but it keeps sounding like song lyrics. LOL
