I might have a go at this... any subject? sounds fun...
-
On rule number 10 you said any subject except rule number 3...did you mean rule number 4? 'Cause #3 just says no internet slang. *.*

Whee! I joined! I am quite satisfied with my poem! -Deja vu- o.O I feel kinda like a broken record! Ahh well.
I'm sure someone will come along and fix me! -Nods and giggles, wagging his tail-
Best of luck to everyone in the contest! -Nods- I am sure this one will be hard to judge.
-Coughs and points at SheWolfNative- She's awesome. So, that alone makes it more difficult! -Giggles more-

Just what is an acrostic?
Egads, you have me stumped.
Not that stumping me is difficult.
Numb as a stump is what i am called.
If you don't mind though--
feel free to tell me,
Even if you don't want to
Really, what is an acrostic? -
And I am sorry
Never saw your collaborator.
Gee, what a faux pas that was.
Even if it was just a mistake.
Listen, maybe you can tell me,
I really don't seem to know.
Could be that I am just slow, but--
An acrostic? What is that?
