2D Acrostic Challenge #6
Poetry Contest
Construct a two-dimensional acrostic on a word of your choice.
In your entry, EVERY WORD, not just the first word of each line, must begin with the next letter of the word chosen for the acrostic.
How you wrap and space your words does not matter as long as your next word begins with the correct letter expected next in the sequence. Your acrostic does not need to rhyme, although you are welcome to attempt that if you wish. Re-use of words is permitted.
The following examples feature all the compliant entries from the previous 2D acrostics featured on Fanstory, ordered by increasing length. If you have a compliant entry that is missing from this list, please message Harambe to have it added.

PUTIN by Harambe:
Prussia, used to imprisoning netizens,
Upset the Internet nerd police.

Infecting numerous PCs, uploading Trojans,
Neutralizing Putin's ugly T-14 invaders.
