Wager ~ Acrostics Only Limerick (also another Limerick)
W A G E R Win some lose some always say
Aces he's holding today
Game winning card he could
Extra help would be good
Right up his sleeve it did stay
The wager between the boys
(Limerick, not an acrostic poem)
I will make you a little wager
I can make you answer your pager
sneaked out to make that call
found a lady in the hall
bring home some milk or be a stranger

Very nice One, Jim. Sounding Good.
Wow.. super writing. with the witty element as strong as ever! I've never tried my hand at this sort of poem, it seems to be quite difficult, what with one having to adhere to so many rules! So I doubly admire you, for your ease and expertise. :)
Lovely acrostic. I love the limerick style as well. Nicely written Jim.
I like that surprise ending in the last ling.
That limerick made me smile!
Jim both of these are good and very entertaining.
