Andrea Dietrich Poet Acrostic

Beach Blanket Bingo

Beach Blanket Bingo (The Fab Five)

B etty Lou, beautiful Katherine, and
E leanor, Nellie Sue and Bethany
A ll playing Bingo, on blankets in sand,
C hatted away, happy girls by the sea,
H eaven-sent sun beaming high in the sky.

B ethany said, “Girls, suck tummies in.
L ook. Over there is a really cute guy!
A lso, we really should show him some skin!”
N ellie Sue said, “And he has four friends too!”
K atherine quickly adjusted her hair.
E leanor said, “Girls, you know what to do.”
T hey took off their beach wraps and made those men stare!

B ob and his friends asked to join the game.
I n minutes each lady was paired with a guy.
N o worries. Just good times. Always the same.
G olden girls shine like the sun in the sky.
O ld ladies, still young at heart, the fab five!

Jslambert Mister Roboto June 17, 2011 at 11:18 PM cool story! reminds me of my playin' days back on the coast of S.Cacakalack! Shaggin' on Ocean Blvd! Ahh, the glory days. Hey we (men)suck in our abs too! BTW I appreciate the very encouraging comments from you on my poem open sores. Sometimes I get discouraged on here bc i think people don't always read my stuff but rather make comments in order to get "bonus pts' or something. I feel this whole sharing poetry thing should be more about the true art. your comment was genuine. thanks
