Acrostic #4: Insecticide

Posted on March 25, 2023March 25, 2023 By Alex Boisvert

It’s no secret I like to use stand-up comedians as fodder for my acrostics. One issue, I find, is that I often have to chop up the text somewhat to get a usable acrostic. Comedians sometimes ramble, or repeat things, not always getting straight to the point. Well, I am proud to announce that this quote is completely unedited! It helps that it doesn’t come from a stand-up, but instead a source that is very near and dear to my heart. I hope you like it!

If you’re hungry for even more acrostics, I’ve created a puzzle pack that includes an acrostic, which you can get by making a donation of any amount to Children’s Hospital L.A. via my fundraising link: http://connect.chla.org/goto/AlexBoisvert Even if you don’t want more acrostics, it’s still a good cause!
