Caustically Acrostic Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

Caustically acrostic

Cheerily i asked for her name
And the answer i got was lame
Unusually she was very brief
So brief she shattered my belief
To make matters worse
I expected her reply to be verbose
Candid but gentle enough
All she said was so rough
'Love who? ' She said
Leaving me hopelessly afraid
'You go back to your wife! '
At that time i was unmarried
Completely by surprise was carried
Reminded of how old i was getting
Old enough to think i had a wife
So i swallowed my pride
Took her for lunch in my ride
In the process she understood
Charlie was, for loving, in the mood
