Merle Haggard (Acrostic)
Mama Tried
Everybody's Had the Blues
Ramblin' Fever
Live and Love Always
Emptiest Arms in the World
Huntsville
A Cabin in the Hills
Going Where the Lonely Go
Garbage Man
Always Wanting You
Return to San Francisco
Daddy Frank
Every line of the poem consists of one of his song titles. I'm sorry that the letters in his name didn't let me include some of my favorites, such as:
Okie from Muskogee
Working Man Blues
Pancho and Lefty
Big City
and others.

I enjoyed the heck out of this Acrostic- made me smile nostalgically each time I remembered the song and what I was doing when I first heard it. Rodeo dances thrived on Merle Haggard's Okie From Muskogee and Jim Reeves' He'll Have to Go.
I never kept up with his songs. There's one I remember from High school: Don't Think Twice - It's Alright. I always remember him going down the dark side of the road.

Very clever to use his song titles to create this nice acrostic.
