| |  Acrostic Competition
Hi Guys I need your help. I need some acrostics - you know like Richard of York Gave Battle in Vain - ROYGBIV - the colours of the rainbow.
Here are the first set of letters
P
L
T
B
L
B
A
L Nature or animal / bird related sayings or poems would be best, of course.
I'll come clean and admit this is purely to help me with my exams so, in advance, a big thanks to anyone that does take time out to help me.
And an even bigger point goes to those who can guess what the letters may pertain to. I'll give a clue later on if necessary.
I'll set a few of these over the next few weeks so please help me where you can as it may just get me through this mammoth exam I have ahead of me.
Cheers
Boddie  |

Well done to nightshade and henrya for their suggestions - wish I had such imagination.  I'll try to have a go at the next one. |

Right guys, here is the answer. I said it was anatomy
Pharynx
Larynx
Trachea
Bronchial Tree
Lobar Bronchi
Alveoli
Lungs
There is a fair bet my exam will mean having to remember the respiratory system so these are the elements that are required for me to learn - now I just have to learn the definitions verbatim. I now have just over a week but with your help I am getting there, so a big thanks
