Array ( [sid] => 39380 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Reasons To Be Cheerful ABC [time] => 2004-03-19 19:47:14 [hometext] => 26-line poem, each line beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. Try it, it's fun, but a bit tricky when you get to XYZ [bodytext] => A glimpse of tanned leg beneath short hemline
Boned duck with plum sauce and Portuguese wine
Cloudy days and sunny thoughts
Daffodils dancing and grass cut short

Escaping from an overcrowded department store
French toast, hot raspberries and cheese Roquefort
Getting caught singing to muzak when taken off hold
Halloween trick-or-treats letting in the cold

Irish-coffee glasses
Jump shots and passes
Knowing precisely where you are
Lipstick smudging a clean white bra

Marble sinks and floors made of brick
New York strip sirloin cut extra thick
Old man and the sea
Pick of the litter for free

Questions from a child aged four
Raffia picnic baskets on the seashore
Squirrels in reckless treetop chases
Taming fear in the strangest places

Unusual kitchen smells
Village church bells
Waitresses making an effort to please
X-chromosome we need to conceive

Yogi Bear and Boo Boo in Yellowstone Park
Zabaglione while listening to Bach.

Very unique. I did try and it was a disaster, lol! I read them both and this one for some strange reason wandered around in my mind the easiest.
