A history lesson wrapped in a blanket of intrigue and interest. Remarkable piece for that reason alone. Reminds me of interesting times that I was only able to read about.

So far, nobody's told me I got the history wrong, so that's a relief Thanks for the review.
Comment from Rose Hearth
Giggled my way all the way through it. However I realized that I might be spending too much time on-line when I noticed that I didn't have to stop to translate the TLAs! Another historical and witty poem from the master!

I believe I am still an apprentice, learning my craft from Thomas Hood, Lewis Carroll, Ogden Nash, Roald Dahl, Pam Ayres, Marriot Edgar, Banjo Patterson, Robert Service.....
Thanks for the generous review.

I looked up a few lists when I was doing this, and I was amazed at how many thousands of TLAs there wer - not only that, but how many I actually recognized - it could have been a very long poem! ETA DOA DDT CIA PTA.....
My favourite was actually QED which I didn't see on any of the lists - it just popped into my head as a perfect ending!

OMG this is just too funny! (OMG is all I know, except WTF) Loved this poem. Great beat, very clever, great rhyme, and even accurate ... Did you know JFK's words translate into I'm a donut (sort of)? You made me laugh and giggle, that gets six stars from me. Thanks. janbar

Now how can Berliner possibly equate to 'donut'???
I'm glad you got a giggle out of this and thought it worthy of a six maybe I should have called it LOL

Kiwi, if this is a "piece of idiocy," it is engeniusly crafted. You lost me on a few of the TLA's but most of them fell into place. Great piece of light versifying.

Comment from C'est Moi
That was a nice bit of silliness to break up the monotony of my day with. Thank you :) Because of the nature of the poem I don't feel like it would be well-served by a nit-picky review, so I'll just say, well done :)

Comment from deborah777
I thought that this was very clever, humorous and well laid out. Altough I didn't know what a few of the abbreviations stood for., I loved how they were worked into the poem. Well done! A good piece.

Comedians, so I've heard tell
Use lecterns to get LOL
Jerry Seinfeld gives a shout,
"Lecterns, what's THAT all about?"

It was a crazy mixed up poem - a little like the content of my brain....
Thanks for reviewing.

Oh yes we live in a world of acronyms. Soon they will be creating a degree for it since without understanding them, it seems like one becomes illiterate. Very witty piece with good rhymes and metre. Creative.Enjoyable.
