Short Greased Lightning Poems

A  bandoned, abased facing failure
C  alculating catastrophic paper
R  ecycling thoughts recreate some ideas
O  bsolete thinking antique panacea
S  agacity scripted by greased lightning pen
T  ablespoons filled with some of that cayenne
I   dealize the idealogy of wise men
C  onsider acrostic power write again  

Thanks PD for the challenge

Smile, and the whole world smiles with you
   Laugh, and soon everyone else is laughing too
Open a door for someone, and they will open one for you
   Feed a hungry man ~ You'll come to feed other hungry men too...

To opposing teams always a marauding  menace....
