For fun during this busy month of December – we challenged each other to write an Acrostic poem using each other’s names – this was a fun (and frustrating) assignment…but we think they came out pretty good…have a look – Brad’s name on top, Julie’s name on the bottom –
Brad McKenna – written by: Julie
Books, Bruins, Beer, Boston Terriers, and a gentle Buddhist, bursting with words
Rainfall brings plastic cases, reminders, gestures, and pleas to protect the sensitive bionic ears
Arguments with me, is what he likes best, to borrow a turn of his phrase
Determined to Haiku, the elusive 5 – 7- 5, weaving words together, c’est incroyable
Maple Leafs, Habs, Canucks and the rest face the wrath of the Big Bad Bs – the Bruins and Brad
Compassionate, true, but curious, too – but not about that damn Cherry Chapstick
Keeps order, he does, of all the things technology
Elephant Gerald is the perfect depiction, the towering companion to the short yet fierce sidekick
Nope to the beach, sun, sand or surf but resounding ayes for pies!
Nope to heights, too, however puzzling for someone 6’ 2”, but smiles broadly for a cold pumpkin brew Aided, but listens more than most people that can hear
Julie Lane – written by: Brad
Jovial as a kid in a candy store,
Unaffected by adversity as a harbor in a storm,
Life of the party. What party? Her party, your party, any party.
Indefatigable as that battery bunny,
Excited by life as a dog with free reign in the kitchen.
Liberal with her generosity as the clear night sky with stars.
Appropriately and inappropriately funny as a Stephen King clown is scary.
National talk show host in training, as if anyone else is better suited.
Extroverted enough to get this reticent introvert to co-host a show on the wilds of the internet.
