Waves of Bingo

B  Blankets are spread, and the day is fair
E  Excitement with you upon the sand
A  A number is called to fill each square
C  Cards upon the quilt, where the numbers land
H  Happy times enjoyed, and ‘Bingo’ shared!

B  B- 44 , that I adore, brings the rolling waves on shore
L  Let’s pass the s’mores, and count the scores, 
A  A hotdog shared adds to our fun!
N N-21, we’ll fly a kite, then take a run
K  Keep lotion handy for the skin, and now a new game will begin
E  Each one we win,  we'll have a swim
T  The day is filled right to the brim!


B  B-52…the sky is blue, and I am glad you came with me
I  I- 17….the air is clean, and sun slips down into the sea
N  Nestled in your arms, my lucky card says your charms are mine
G  G- 29 the breeze is fine, and into the night, the moon will climb
O  Oh Yes!!! B-I-N-G-O !!!  Love that game!!! And now I win!!

what a cool way to do this acrostic. I am glad I finally saw yours. It's so original using the letters in Bingo as if playing it on the beach. Congratulations, Carrie.

Great poem, good luck in the contest. Frankie and Annette were on my mind when I read about the contest. This should be a winner. Vince
