Joie de vivre
In response to a request on the way between: "Thank you" and "certainly." I present you with three acrostics (plus a bonus acrostic), in descending quality and ascending silliness. Please: select your favorite and indicate your selection.

And one for my fiancee:
Jello pudding was
edible;
shake!
shake!
its
creamy (usually not crunchy), so she
ate it.
