Acrostic Poem Contest

I am the mayor!
So you will listen to me!
Life on my island is hard,
And you will get no rest!
Now get back to work!
Dig my mines!

Listen to me!
Is it too much?
Find me treasure!
Eat fish.

I Love My Miners:

Loyal
Obedient

Required
Supplies

Busy settlers running about
Under the influence of a tasty snack
Fishy platters pick um up a step
Fishy sandwiches almost give um a heartattack

My empire
Yesterday so small

Everyday is growing
My buildings getting tall
Planks make up the door
Island marble's lonely
recruits march off to war
enemies will fear me

Bakers ovens constantly baking
Retired recruits in the making
Ending up on the frontline
Already
Destined to die

Boasting and brave
Empty bottles
Empty mugs
Recruits are on the way

I want gems.

Winning this contest would be awesome.
And I would use my gems wisely.
Not spend them rearranging.
That lesson has been learned.

Gems would mean so much to my island.
End this contest and
Make me the winner
So I can have more gems.

Tacks, nails, and hammers.
Obvious staples for construction, right?
Ordering them is my strife.
Less is what I have but I need more, more, MORE!
Sheesh! There isn't even enough to build door!

Such a relaxed game
Everyone's a winner
That's the beauty of it
That you can't lose
Loving this game is easy
Everyday a new quest
Relaxed but busy
So addicting though

The adventurer starts out with glory in mind.
Running the streets, he sees something divine.
Ends being just another tavern. Why not sit for a bit he decides.
All boozed up times running low.
Surely its time to go.
Under the influence and out of coin. Decides something must be done quick like and in a hurry.
Runs behind the tavern with something in mind to save his sorry behind.
Ending up back home without a second to spare.

Boasting and proud he presents my prize.
"Oh jeez! Its the wall of the inn!" I cry.
X marks the spot you big dope! Try it again!

Set in a land far away & long ago,
Everyone has a job to do,
The workers ready supplies,
The army prepares for battle,
Let the war begin!
Everyone is ready to go,
Remember, it is our land to defend,
So win the war $ save our land,

Steel swords are hard to come by...
Too hard, by far, for me.
Every time I check my stock I'm down to only three.
Eleven would be better, but I'm down to three.
Love it when I check my stock and I have only three.

Swords are made with bronze
Wars are fought with swords
Ore's what makes the bronze
Recruits will use the swords
Did I mention the bronze?
Swords are important too

Feelin' kinda down an' out?
I'm recommending the fish platter.
Stand in line no need to shout,
Have some fried in batter.

Please don't forget to tip,
Leave some coin on the table.
And try the brew by the sip,
Then walk home if you're able.
The fish is fresh, the beer is strong,
Everyone 'round here knows:
Recruits don't live long.
So I invest in longbows.

An' one more thing!
Now don't forget!

Buying and Selling
Results in results,
Especially
When you're broke!!

G oing on vacation for a week
U telizing the time off so to speak
I nviting members of your old guild
L eading them to the castle secretly build
D on't feel bad, but apparently loyalty is dead

M aybe better off on your own
E ven if the guild is just a clone
M aking intentions now very clear
B eware the new GQ is here
E ver so gentle we let go
R eminding all that know
