Charlie Brown Christmas
An Acrostic Poem
Can you remember
How it felt to lose all the time, to be
A loser with a heart, who gets a
Running start, and at top speed kicks, misses the ball which is not there?
Lucy snatched it away, now you’re spinning in the air, smack on your back
Isn’t it peculiar how some traditions fade…fade to black?
Everyone laughed and laughed when you
Brought in your tree — Oh, you’re stupid and dumb, then you try the
Red ornament for the win
Oh, I killed it, and I’m a loser again, and
What is the point of it all? And this is when
Nostalgia
Calls
Having
Readied
Itself
So
That
Memories
Are
Supersensory
