Standing on their stilts so small
Each carved from the tooth-pick tree
N'er to worry they'll not fall
Scurrying they circle me

Each carved from the tooth-pick tree
In the land of make-believe
Scurrying they circle me
Things my mind just can't concieve

In the land of make believe
Little picnic figures dance
Things my mind just can't concieve
Act in concert to entrance

Little picnic figures dance
Like Barishnikov's ballet
Act in concert to entrance
Swift their movements will convey

Like Barishnikov's ballet
As the final curtain calls
Swift their movements will convey
Taking that for which gave all

As the final curtain calls
N'er to worry they'll not fall
Taking that for which gave all
Standing on their stilts so small

( Happy New Year To You All !)
Doc

Wow! Wonderful Doc! I've gone back and studied your lines ... you made this look so easy, but my gosh ... an acrostic too?! What an incredible display of talent, it flowed so well, much enjoyed!  

Best wishes,

ethome , Mark ,
Hey , thanks ! But I cheat ! Now it's time to give back . Touch the screen . Believe .
Send me money . Buy aluminum siding . Dance as one possessed . Regale your-selves in the New Year and be as one with the infinite meaning of abstract thought . Throw your-selves into the moment . Reach out-side the realm of your mortal existence. Cater to none. Portray your dreams as reality . Embrace the totality that is you . Tune in later. Full details at 11:00
