Alice and Andy

An alligator, aggravated,
ate another aardvark.

Although abdomen’s aching,
and another aardvark’s abating,
Alice’s argument’s arbitrating.

Albeit alert at Alligator’s advance,
Andy’s ascertaining alligator’s ailment.

Andy awaits assurance.
Alice’s arrested and anchored.
Alas, abbreviated adieu!

Amazing word play! Dear Kim, love your juggle with 'A' lettered words. This is a new poetic form, I come to know of for the first time. Thanks for sharing.
