The Value Of Pie (An Acrostic Poem) Poem by Jim Franckum
The Value Of Pie (An Acrostic Poem)
Three German women, off to an auction
Point to a bakery and cry
One says, “Yum! I’ll pay any sum
For the pleasure of tasting that pie.”
One Mark was bid, yet embarrassed she hid
“ ’f I’ve offered too little I’ll die! ”
“Nein” said another, “that’s shamefully low
Too sick’s your bid, that’s no lie! ”
“Five marks” was the price that was finally paid
And that is the value of pie
Very clever, I've only seen one letter used for a acrostic until now. Usually at the start of each line, but not always. This open up new possibilities. Thanks...10

As Spock said, this is very clever. Not your typical acrostic. I wracked my brain trying to figure out how it WAS an acrostic. I couldn't see it at all. Finally I sought the advice of someone wiser, and he pointed out that, instead of using the first LETTER of each line, you had used the first WORD of each line, and........... Oh, no! As I am typing this, I finally noticed the poet's note! Why didn't I see that before? The answer was there in front of me the entire time! Oh, well, these things happen when you get old.........................
