This seems like a hard d prompt. But yo did it. Now you have to continue the story so we find out what happened to the kangaroos.
Good luck in the contest.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

    Please get your hankie ready. The kangaroos ran down a one-way cul-de-sac got trapped outside a soup factory. They got caught and became kangaroo soup. Not true, but the best I could come up with.

    What a bad way to go. My Kleenex box is now empty.

    Steve, thank you for stopping by and rating my nonsense. I'm not sure I would have used well-crafted, I think nonsense is a more than adequate response. Again, thank you.

    It's hard to create something like this, you did great.

This seems like a difficult assignment, and you met the requirements full stop here. I like the rhythm of the wild cascade of words, the colorful imagery contained within, the surreal feel to the scene created. estory

This alphabet tale, Alphabet Tale, has the proper formatting which fulfills the requirement of words, though the picture formed leaves us marooned in Paraguay with xylophone players.

    Bill, thank you for reading and reviewing my Alphabet Tale. I thought I should add some good news, there'll be no sequel.

You did a good job with your alphabet tale. You have used all the letters of the alphabet and tell a good story. The Canadian doctor made some interesting discoveries. You describe what they are and where he found them. It sounds like the jumping kangaroos will fit right in with
"wild xylophone-playing young Zambezians."

A good entry; good luck in the contest.

    He not only made good discoveries. He also prescribed good medicines. He gave me something that now stops me writing new poetry which will improve Fanstory's poetry site no end.

the hopping kangaroos must have surprised the doctor. Did you hear that they had released 90 kangaroos in the state of Wyoming? This was so far-fetched and not believable.

    Guess that will put the hop back into Wyoming. The place will now really be jumping. Lucky Wyoming.

I really like the unique way of using the alphabet in this. I always think of acrostic poems as one word on each line, but your way encapsulates it perfectly too, in my opinion. What a fun poem!

    It was written as a fun poem, and I'm delighted to know it achieved that purpose with you. Thank you for reviewing.

I really like your entry, it has a story you can follow and its imaginative. This contest kind of confused me, l thought you could only use one word for each line. You did a great job, best of luck in the contest.

    Every contest confuses me. So, I go and have three beers and come back to my computer half shot and become a naughty child again. It works for me.
