Poem: Acrostic alphabet -ish

  Inspired by Dustus’s Acrostic poem about his little neice (here), I thought I would have an attempt at this.  Not being able to decide what I wanted the first letters of the lines to spell, I thought it may be fun to use all the letters of the alphabet.  Well, I wouldn’t call it ‘fun’
