Mom says she doesn't text in letters, I answer IK
She says she isn't going to learn whatever is IDK
When she is waiting for me I tell her BRB
And she asks me what is a GIF or a JPG
I will try to show her how to use them ASAP
When I get the text back later that its NYOB
So I send back an uplifting LMAO
I plan to tell her why its IMO
She replies with understanding: IK now what IDK
Is that a PIC is a JPG and asks if maybe IDK

Presenting to the emergency room, patient "BB,"
a dad who swallowed a snow globe carelessly.
Out of ALC, voices crying, "YOLO,"
PO, he took a big gulp of fantasy snow.
NAGI, his stomach churned immediately.
He could hear little elves dancing with a BEG.
Brought to the ER unconscious with HBP,
HAGMA, and tachypnea, unfortunately.
A CT scan revealed a kidney infection.
MDs dispensed an antibiotic injection.
Dialysis was administered, but he was still KO.
His kidney's were decorated in crystals of "snow."
Ten WKs later he could walk again (to the bar),
but will likely need dialysis 4EVR.
You are what you eat, (BB made a recovery)
but don't be a snowflake, the moral of the story.
(Watch the attached video for the full story.)
ALC- alcohol
YOLO- you only live once
PO- by mouth
NAGI- not a good idea
BEG- big evil grin
ER- emergency room
HBP- high blood pressure
HAGMA- high anion gap metabolic acidosis
CT- computerized tomography
MD- medical doctors
KO- knocked out
WK- week
4EVER- forever

ACRONYMS IN COUPLETS Poetry Contest
Sponsor: L MILTON HANKINS
I'm at my office at the AMA
I have a seizure, but I’m not DOA
So I get transported to the local ER
Who call my ex wife, she works in PR
Before I get treatment by a young MD
They want insurance and proof of my ID
But my evil ex had arranged a DNR
It’s clear to see that I am FUBAR!
*apology for use of the F but you will see that the acronym fitted in perfectly with the theme and the sponsor said it could be humorous!

What if electronics had never been invented?
Would people be as rude to each other?
What if we had no I-phones?
Would we still be talking in person?
What if the child did not have its own TV set?
Would it still talk to its parents?
What if social media had never been invented?
Would we know what LMAO means?

M.O.T.S.
The me of this second (MOTS)
was not here yesterday, or the
yesterday’s before.
The me of tomorrow will not remember
or care a whit about this (MOTS).
Confident that I barely recall the
me of ten minutes ago, I fully approve.

We have our whims with acronyms,
especially with our Presidents:
Remember JFK and RFK?
~ They paved the way for LBJ.
'Course FDR started so much more--
the AAA and the CCC
the CWA and the FHA
the NRA and the PWA
the SSA and the WPA
~and who can forget the TVA?
But after HHH got to be the VP,
he just couldn't win any more...
He couldn't beat Nixon
who used all his tricks in
proving Hubert Horatio Humphrey
~ a consummate BORE...
'Course this made Humphrey so sore,
he had to settle the score,
raspy voice from the grave risen once more:
"Seems you have yet to meet Albert GORE..."
First came initials to shorten a name
Then the government got into the game
Along came computers with their new ‘DOS’
Whatever that meant, I was at a loss!
The internet blossomed, it took over
With FB and Twitter, speech was a blur
Compressing our words to say what we think
When did we banish our words to the drink?
Takes only a moment for you to say
What you really mean, speed gets in the way
Why such a hurry to say what you mean
You can’t expect me to read in-between.
Often your words have no reason or rhyme
If you can’t spell it out, don’t waste my time!
