Ac-Bc-Dc- ---- Peace

When things seem to lose all proportion And disagreements become the notion Misunderstandings, (“He said,…she said”) Differences, righteousness, (Oh, dread!) It helps to use some D-C…perhaps a friendly motion To head off the flack, (as Damage Control) It may seem absurd, a need to play the role But, the mediator, the even keel, A level head, has great appeal In case of attack, (whatever it be) When some are offended…by facts they can’t see Or if some feel the right, when they strongly disagree With what others think, or what others may believe, To bash them or harass them, Let us turn on A-C ! To cool down the heat, and clear the air free! Not to say, we don’t have the right, To B-C our news.... Just as long as we broadcast without such abuse We were born with a B-C…written to claim Signed by our parents, and given our name. It gives us the right, to live in this land To worship our own God, to live hand in hand Whatever our faith, or what we decree I hope we can be proud, on the day we take leave When our D-C is printed, declaring desceased… Let us hope we have honored, a life filled with peace __________________________________________________________________ DC = damage control AC = air conditioning BC = broadcast BC = birth certificate DC = death certificate

what a way to get these all in. Good job, Carrie. I think we didn't have to do all of them, but like you, I want to use as many as I can! Did you know that if you google just one of these acronyms, it will bring you up 200 phrases it represents? it's crazy!! I can't even decide on one, too many choices now!!
