Persnickety
This morning’s word was Persnickety. I say this morning because I usually what Bill O’Reilly on the re-run. I never intended to be writing acrostics on Bill’s words but I have little control on what gets into my head. I just let the words flow from what I am hearing. You might notice in one of my poem I typed week instead of weak and thought instead of taught. Sometimes the figures rush to what they think they heard, or was it herd?

Persnickety Particularly
hard to please Eyes
so fixed on specifics you give no one ease Requiring
keen eyes for detail Snobbish
and fussy, they will also fail None
of these will get the approval of Bill In
a night he might read 300 letters and will Count
out those bordering on being persnickety Keep
those catchy and written with brevity Eliminating
those ones, that never cut the grade Then
reading from the selected few the writers tirade Your
opinion is valued so articulate it that he might read Written
