Monsters

My mother-in-law is a blessing
Only to her son
Now that we are married
She has me on the run
The Lady's always changing
Everything I've done
Regrets, I don't have many
She's the only one

For:  Debbie Guzzi's Jack Out of the Box contest
Form:  Acrostic

I have not tried a poem of this style since I was a teacher back in the 70's.

LOL, very witty acrostic, Mike. This one would have been equally at home in Dr Ram's In-Laws contest
