Addition or Contrition?

Addition or Contrition?

Adding It Up –

A Calculated Risk

I

Do

Not

Know

About

Anyone

Besides

Myself, if

Something

Critical is

Missing, so I’m

Taking a break,

Withholding my

Judgment. Still,

It is far too easy

To sum things all up,

Miscalculating and

Misinterpreting the

Missing pieces in some

Other man’s life puzzles.

Note:

This is an addition puzzle.

Each line contains one more alphabetical letter than the preceding one.

Punctuation marks and letter spaces do not count.
