Acronyms
We too often rely on acronyms
To save us time and space
Convenient, they're just wordy trims
To insure our hurried pace
They're over-used, to my dismay
Instead of food, we're offered spam
This alphabetical array
Is linguistically a sham
Shortcuts here and there are fine
But when overdone, obtuse
When over used they cross the line
Then we're victims of misuse
