Drop anchor in a childhood bay
Keep the baying hounds at bay
LETS PLAY POETRY
Lay rules to set a challenge one by one
Equip with standard aids and tools of trade
To squeeze from life a modicum of fun
Select a game not previously played
Play fairly, cheating renders all a farce
Luxuriate in incremental gains
Acrostically abridge the next impasse
Yet pause for any ploy which entertains
Perhaps tomorrow hounds will catch the scent
Or overnight a mooring rope will slip
Each hour spent in worry’s an hour misspent
Take aim at unkind fate with a pointed quip
Resist the dogged squalls however strong
Yes certainly join in and play along
