Challenge Achieved

I DID IT!!! And I feel that this poem falls into many categories:
Nonsense poems... Alliterative poems... Alphabetically acrostic poems... Ok, it falls into 3 categories, but I'm proud of it!

Anytime anyone asks for air
Benny the bouncer is bound to appear.
Counting his Christmas cards, coming to call
Ducking and diving and dancing with all.
Everyone, even the elephants, eat,
For fishermen's friends find the food at their feet.
Going to Gloucestershire, Gary and Glen,
Have handpicked a harem and hassled a hen.
In India, Ian is inking his imps,
Joanna the juror has jumped til she limps,
Knowing her knee will be knacked like a knot,
Loathing the landing that lost her a lot.
Michael the mason has muscles and might,
No nurses can nurture the news in the night,
Of octopus orgies and opening owls.
Peter the panther will pee where he prowls.
Quanta will quieten a quorum of queens,
Rubbing respectfully round runner beans.
So someone will stutter and somewhere a son,
Tried terribly timidly, towing a tonne,
Until, up in Utah, upsetting an urn,
Violet vexed violently, viewing Jules Verne.
While walruses waded in wellies, in Wales,
Xenophobically xeroxing X-rays of snails,
Yet yetis in yashmaks yelled "yes! I'm a hero!
Zoos are the answer!" and zipped them to zero.
