Acrostibility!

After much consideration, I've decided to
Challenge myself to try Acrostic poetry,
Regardless of reservations - why not give it a go?
Or will I always say, "Acrostic's not for me"?
So here is a mere attempt to
Try this funky form.
I'm even managing to rhyme
Because it is my norm!
I'm probably being naughty, for
Lots of Acrostics do not rhyme.
It's what you might call "Poetic
Tourettes" - my impulse every time.
Yes! My first one is complete...

Oh no! I've ran out of letters to rhyme it neat!!
