A L C O H O L I S M

All of the popular kids are invited to party 
Laughter abounds as they get inebriated
Chortles and giggles, making less sense every hour
Outrageous behaviors run rampant, to prove they are drunk
He starts to get irritated with his wife’s barbed comments
Ornery now, he begins to “try and top her insults”
Less giggling now, as people begin to feel concerned
In a matter of minutes, there is a full blown shouting match
Shoving and slapping ensues, quieting the onlookers
Merriment dies a natural death; hurt feelings in the morning.

There is a natural flow to this acrostic. You make it look easy.

I thought it was incredibly easy. It just threw itself onto the page and laughed in my face.
