Upon creating this 'bi-acrostic' I considered the aim of the added dimension of the signal letters of each word in this form drawing attention away from the other content, I used the title Bon-ami, to strengthen the message that being a friend 'or who a friend is' can come as quite a surprise in life.. Have you, or has someone you know desired friendship with a person because of some perceived qualitys.? 'that may have been wrongly seen; maybe they were no friend at all..' the title says look deeper.!

oh boy, now I see it spells "friend". Man, you gotta give the title of the acrostic the same as it spells down. I was trying to spell bon ami. heehee

Yes, I am all of these, but you left out gaseous. Am I still a friend? Clever, Joe. You have found the ideal way to search for a friend Ah though, you will live a long life of bitter disappointment. Love, daver
