B-ig of heart and bill-fold
E-asy-going, like the best of all chums
R-eady for a wheeze and a cocktail, any time
T-ries always to be a preux chevalier, like all of his noble ancestors
I-mposed upon by Aunts, beazels, and friends-in-need
E-ager to be rescued from every rummy sitch by his man, Jeeves

W-ords are his joy and forte (when he can remember the bally thingummies)
O-xford graduate, but also of Eton
O-rphaned young, so devoted to familial ties
S-avors his daily bath, accompanied always by his rubber ducky
T-akes pride in his bespoke finery
E-ngaged al lot, but rarely by choice
R-egistered member of The Drones Club in London
It had to happen sooner or later! 

Like the title says, this is a poem about fictional character, Bertie Wilberforce Wooster. He is the narrator and main character of P. G. Wodehouse's books and the TV series based upon the aforementioned books. He's a lovable goofball with too much time, money, and friends on his hands. Let me highly recommend the novels (what I've read of them), and the show (what I've seen of it).

I had a terrible day. One of the worst ever. Writing this in my mind and then digitally has distracted me nicely. 

I plan to make another acrostic within this fandom, but for the other main character, Jeeves--the inimitable, mysterious Woosterian valet and resident problem solver.

BTW: Nope I left out Berite's middle name on purpose. It was too hard to come up with all those extra lines, more hard than fun. Also, I'm not sure about the spelling of the middle name, along with some others in the work itself. IF YOU SEE A MISTAKE,  PLEASE INFORM ME! Thanks!

All my own work. Whether or not the ownership should be conspicuous  is beside the point. Please, no stealing or "borrowing"?

Oh my Scar (Again, Scar is my God), 'O-rphaned young, so devoted to familial ties' made me bite my lip to prevent tears from passing the old tear ducts. My theory is that his mother died giving birth him and his father left when the aforementioned Wooster was born.

But 'W-ords are his joy and forte (when he can remember the bally thingummies)' made me laugh.
