So you're feeling down and got the flu
Understanding got the best of you?
Cat just threw up on your best rug?
Hey you know the best medicine's a hug
I know you just want to get blotto, but
Such is life, is a great motto
Life is one big trial,
Incarceration with no file,
Failure to succeed at things,
Ever wonder what Ned now really thinks?
Next time you're feeling trapped,
Eventually that your brain will be tapped
Do for your self what Ned would do
Know he accepted the worst fate,
Eternity, imagine the wait
Love others and remember they love you
Life is what it is for a reason,
You do what you must do, for "Such is life"
Author notes
An acrostic piece... but I hope that this describes my feelings on the quote,

It's one thing after another, just to fall back on another wise saying.
"Such is life" means we have no choice but to make the best of it but there are moments of joy!
Enjoyed your write.

How true! Love that line, Life on trial. this reminds me of a few that I have done in the past, like "collectibles" and "incarceration" and others. What a great job you did on this one! I love how you did this with an acrositc too! Great job!
Best of luck in this contest!
and love

This was fun to read. A very unique idea for acrostic. I like your message here. "life is one big trial, incaceration with no file" I love those lines. It's so true. Also thought the last five lines were a perfect ending.

"Cat just threw up on your best rug?"
Cats DO NOT throw up on rugs
short of getting too tight hugs
Next time you hug your cat
be more gentle and all that
