Friday poetry challenge: acronymophilia

For reasons too complicated to explain, a colleague and I spent a ridiculous amount of time this week trying to come up with a way to use the word FUEL as an acronym. The L could refer to Learning, of course, and the E suggests a variety of interesting verbs--enhancing, engaging, empowering, equipping--but we kept running aground on the first two letters.

Maybe it's time to choose a new acronym.

Or better yet, let's write an acrostic poem!

Full stop: empty tank--
Utter desolation.
Exxon near. Move your rear!
Leg it to the station.

Summer heat slows your feet;
Tar oozes like treacle.
One more drop--top it up!
Power to the people.

Okay, that's pretty silly, but isn't that what summer's for? Your turn now!
