Thou Shalt Not Set Fire to a Nunnery
"You're going to have to help me move the body." Julie stood in the doorway to my room, which was a cell really, and she was as close to breathless as I'd ever seen her. She looked dashing in the moonlight, and lit up with the glow of adventure.

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Such a powerful truth with little words. 💯👏🏾
Less is more surely works here, great job!
Love the poignancy in sop few words for this challenge!! Great work LC!
Great creativity 👏 keep it up.
Excellent acrostic… so potent, with minimal words 🤩
Ooh it's been a while since I've seen the one-word acrostic, and it's good to see! Really liked "esteem nibbled constantly." Over time, bit by bit. Heavy!
Escape? Don't you mean run like hell? lol Great and unique acrostic that is packed with a powerful punch. Well done.
So much truth in this. Nicely done.
Oh wow, I didn't know that it was called stonewalling! Looks like my Acrostic is something along those lines as well. Loved yours!
One word lines! Impressively done L.C.!
Simple, powerful.
Such truth in seven words!! Brilliant :)
Oh my. That was fabulous. I wanted to try one-word lines, but couldn't think of anything. Really well done.
Tell them, LC, tell them. Truth bomb in succinct brevity!
Damn right!
For sure!
Preach!! 🙏 Stonewalling, I put up with it enough as a youngster. Now it only gets people a return of the favour
True. Run for your sanity!
