Feb 21, 2012



As well as acrostics for all the states and presidents, Robert Blackwell provides ones for a host of other topics including the Moon, Whisky and the Ladies of Nashville. And just in case you thought it is was easy work, a little note from the author...
[Gentlemen.]
GRANT me one favor, I ask no more,Examine all my writings o'er;Not forgetting all the timeTis hard to make a name to rhyme.Let those who think they can composeExcellent verse as well as prose,Make one effort to be wise,Ere they scoff and criticiseNumerous works they would revise.
