Dressed to Kill!



ACROSTIC ONLY

DRESSED TO KILL!


Decorated like a painting
Red the colour of his choice
Entering the great arena
Soon to make the crowds rejoice.
Silence falls as he's appearing,

Every eye is turned on him
D
ressed to kill a noble creature

*
Totally engrossed and grim.
'O
lay!' they cry in their excitement;

*
'Kill the bull! Let us see gore!
If you're damaged, well, so be it!
Let us cheer you more and more!'
L
ater, when the bull is dead,

See his costume stained with red.

Very clever!
Acrostics, beloved of teachers, looks like fun so I might just try it.
