We too often rely on acronyms <br />To save us time and space <br />Convenient, they’re just wordy trims <br />To insure our hurried pace <br /> <br />They’re over-used, to my dismay <br />Instead of food, we’re offered spam <br />This alphabetical disarray <br />Linguistically’s a sham <br /> <br />Shortcuts here and there are fine <br />But when overdone, obtuse <br />When over used they cross the line <br />Then we’re victims of misuse<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/acronyms-2/
