Random Alphabet Acrostic

Random Alphabet AcrosticAbsentmindedly I consider the
Bill sitting on my
Cabinet counter. I sigh
Determined to find an
Easy solution to my
Fluxion finances, though unable.
Gorgeous eyes scan my
Haughty, determined face. She
Imparts indispensable encouragement but
Jovial I am not.
“Knock it off!” I
Languish in my own
Malicious feelings toward her.
Nescient to my predicament,
Outspoken she becomes with
Patriotic fervor of a
Queen besieged by enemies
Rampaging against her rule.
“Savings,” she lightly whispers,
“Temerariously use our savings.”
Under such a weight
Vainly I acquiesced to
Wager our last capital
Xerically scrounged from nothing
Yearly saved for a
Zither.

This “poem” (and I use the word as loosely as possible) was written by flipping to a random page per letter in an old dictionary and selecting a word on that page while trying desperately to make sense from line to line while also maintaining an acrostic of the alphabet. This is the result. I swear all these words are actual words. I cannot swear that they are all used correctly… Oh, it’s also 101 words.

    Quite impressive, and it probably wasn’t even a rainy day activity.
