Ready - an Acrostic
Ready and Primed
“Wrinkles and bones, white hair and diamonds: I can’t wait.”
Wrinkles
all over my bod
dreamy hope in my head
bones
bones they show everywhere
of my eyes twinkling still
for him styled the latest
feet, they're ready to dance
here there everywhere
feel all primed and ready
can’t
do no more if I tried
wait
enough, my new boy toy comes

What a wonderful acrostic!
What great additions to the original quote – you made it sound like lovely fun.
Sounds like you're ready to trip the light fantastic. I hope you and the Mrs. keep dancing with each other.
The response lines surprise unexpectedly! The closing line threw me for a loop! I like when my mind can tumble.
Are you the Boy Toy, Jim? :)
Nicely done acrostic!
I really enjoyed the structure, Jim. It was fun to read the two halves independently from each other and as a whole. And I really like seeing hopes and dreams dancing together.
Loved reading this in two separate, yet joined pieces. God one, Jim!
Deftly done! I can't help but smiled at the last line. :)
Oh cue the music, cue the laughter, cue you and the Missus.
