Oulipost warm Up #3

This assignment the last preview assignment before Oulipost actually begins is called a beautiful outlaw (belle absente). The outlaw in question is the name of the person (or subject) to whom the poem is addressed. Each line of the poem includes all the letters of the alphabet except for the letter appearing in the dedicated name at the position corresponding to that of the line: when writing a poem to Eva, the first line will contain all letters except E, the second all letters except V, and the third all letters except A.  

    

I couldn't fit all 25 words into one line so I made each letter into separate stanzas.  The word I picked was jazz. I don't know how I'm going to do this assignment in 24 hours on April 8th, but I signed up to do just that, so I am somehow going to.  I think the key is using multiple newspapers and the internet document search function to find applicable words.
