Pleasure,
with a goofy grin.
Cannot help myself
when received;
no man can halt that goofy grin.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A Beech

A form of poetry created by poet Beecher Smith.

It is a 5 line poem with the syllables of each line corresponding to the number of the letter of the alphabet.

B= 2 so your first line must have 2 syllables
E= 5 therefore the next two lines have 5 syllables,
E= (5 again)
C= 3 so three syllables
H= 8th letter, so the last line has 8 syllables.
