Hi Bill, an acrostic as this is not easy to write. You got away with it, I think. It made me smile for some reason, so it must have worked. Always like your musings. All the best. Ulla:))

Loaded with humor, Bill.
A
blue sloth
cannot sneeze;
does not eat cheese;
eschews Cantonese
Ha ha!
Poem sorta looks like stair steps.
BOO-tastic!
Like very much. Out of nuggets.

I was waiting for a picture of the blue sloth, but now I am getting the real picture as I sit here and think about the words. Very cute poem and cute words. Blessings, Teri

It works with me. Acrostics are hard to do and make any sense. The comical aspect of this one saves the day.

I enjoyed reading it. 8-) Love the sloths.

Hahaha very clever. I liked the use of alphabet increasing in syllables as you went on. It appealed to me! Is there a name for this type of poetry or is it a version of ACROSTIC poetry? I wasn't quite sure what the last sentence meant.

The acrostic aspect is a choice. The form used comes up on the site from time to time, but I don't recall what it's named. For the final line, I needed a 'J' word, so I figured, since this is not a very thought-intensive poem, to make it a distraction on the Internet for Mr. Jones at the office.

I like your cheeky style!

This speaks the joy, fun of having a sloth there, otherwise of it is nothing but a mess, it has some contributory sort for feeling life goes on, but all do not think so; I liked.

One question. Why would you leave a guy hanging? Or did you just run out of time, run out of rhyme or drop your dime? I had geared all up to follow the thread but instead, I tried to drink from an empty cup, looks like I've been stood up ..... Ha, ha, the jokes on you, see I can do that too.

Thanks, nomi, for getting into the spirit (or spirits, which would explain a lot).
